Travel from sea to shining sea; by car or by plane, there's plenty to see in the good ole US of A.

A Traveler's Guide to Washington DC
The capital of the United States, traveling to and in it, can be a daunting task. You may have questions about what to do, what's a ripoff, and how to not waste your day in a museum.

Visiting New York City
I was lucky enough to travel to New York in September for my 21st birthday but while I was there, there were a few things that I wish someone had told me, so here I am, telling you lot!

Best West Coast Vacations
West coast vacations may be peaceful or exciting, spent pampered like a princess in the center of a metropolis or living as one with nature. They can be a weekend or a month long, though you may not be blamed for extending your stay, and the area is suited for travel by plane, foot, and even train.

Not Having an Agenda Is OK
I have spent the first and only 20 years of my life in Texas. Sure, it's a wonderfully big state with lots to do, but I never saw its true beauty like I did when I went to the state of Colorado.

The Boring City
You'd think I loved St. Louis Missouri if you listened to me talk about how much I hate it. Or you'd probably think I was from this exotic and intriguing area, like Hawaii, or something. No, so technically I really have nothing to compare it to. But there HAS to be somewhere better than this, and if not then I am doomed. St. Louis, Missouri is so boring that we don't even have a cool sounding accent. For example, if you travel just about five hours north (or however that works) you'll hit Chicago. Even though they talk very slow to the point where you can't even tell if they are finishing their sentence or out of breath, they still sound cool. After doing some research on the topic of St. Louis accents I learn that they just talk faster than some people from Chicago. St. Louis can't even be original with their accent.

Washing Away the City
I had just taken a breath after graduating college. The week after I took my last undergraduate exam, we ran away to New Mexico. I am an artist and my partner is an artist—the desert towns which serve as an oasis of artistic splendor and productivity drew us to the valleys and mountains. Just before the crack of dawn, we blinked away our sleep, packed up my parents’ car, snuggled our sweet pit bulls one more time before their puppy-sitter arrived, and hit the ground like the bulls of Spain. With the sun at our heels, we made it halfway across Texas before the clouds woke up.

Ultimate North Carolina Road Trip
North Carolina, a state that seems to have it all. Growing up in North Carolina you learn that our state is separated into three geographic regions. The mountains, the piedmont, and the coast. This in itself is crazy, that one state can have such a vast array of regions. This provides all sorts of activities and cities to behold.

The Best Places to Visit in Idaho. Top Story - March 2018.
While there may be abundant great skiing in Ketchum and the Sun Valley, where Hemingway is buried, the state is also home to cross-country, Nordic skiing, shoe-shoeing trails, and an up-and-coming food and wine scene.

Arcadia Archives II
Walk in the Park The Arcadia Management Area in Rhode Island is a very rarely talked about gem that most people have passed or entered. It spans more than 14,000 acres, making it the largest recreational area in the state. Arcadia covers land in West Greenwich, Exeter, Richmond, and Hopkinton (including Browning Mill Pond, Breakheart Pond, and Frosty Hollow Pond). Here, wildlife and people converge.

Yachting With a Billionaire
Before I begin telling the story, I need to give you a few details. I went to school in West Virginia for a year and met some really good friends there. So in the summer of 2017, I went to visit them in Virginia. Now these friends I made are the most loving and kind people I know, but they are also bat-shit crazy. I will call them M and K. While I was visiting them, I told them about how much I love learning about the monuments in DC because they lived so close to it, and they wanted to show me the other side of DC, the wild side. So we packed in an Uber and made the 30 minute trek to the city (Mind you, we have water bottles full of shitty vodka and wine).

Best Cave Hikes in the United States
Caves have a really uncanny way of looking unearthly, all while being one of the most natural environments on Earth. Everything about the scenery found in the strangest caves in the world seems otherworldly—and to a point, that ethereal vibe even can be found when looking at typical caverns throughout the US.
