My passport is navy with a glossy golden eagle on the front and a looping script that reads: “The United States of America.” But in many ways, I know less about the place on the front of my passport than I do about the foreign countries stamped inside.
I spent the first decade of my adult life traveling as much and as often as I could. After growing up in the suburbs of Central Florida, ...

Argentinian chef Francis Mallmann has become somewhat of a household name since his feature on Netflix’s popular docu-series “Chef’s Table.” His rustic form of cooking over flames, coals, and embers captivates audiences.

But smart, savvy travelers seek out Central Florida’s secret natural attractions — its springs. Due to Florida’s geology and climate, the state is home to the most natural springs in the country. Unlike popular geothermal or “hot” springs, Florida’s springs stay mild at 68-70 degrees F, as the water sits close to the earth’s surface in Florida’s aquifer. With almost a...

Just as Elyse DeLisle and her partner, Amanda, were about to close on a Florida condo, they were faced with circumstances that would change the course of their lives.
The company Amanda worked for was rumored to close, and the couple began to wonder what they would do if this happened. So they backed out of the condo and began tossing around the idea of traveling the country in a trailer while taking their work on the road. Sooner than they thought, the reality of life on the road was within ...

You can’t drive around Austin, TX without seeing the iconic “Keep Austin Wierd” slogan slapped across bumpers. The phrase was originally engineered to celebrate the city’s beloved small businesses, but it defines the city in its pride for the unique people that call it home.

The satirical take on this PNW utopia pokes fun at the idealistic young denizens and their tree-hugging, pickle-loving, kale-eating, coffee-sipping ways. Without a doubt, Portland is known nationwide as a “hipster” have...

My favorite thing to do when I travel is to find live music at a cozy local bar and people watch. I tend to explore on foot and wander cities in search of markets, local artisans, and ways to consume cheese.

According to a recent study by University of Pittsburgh School of Health Sciences, the more time we spend on social media the more likely we are to be depressed.
