Travel from sea to shining sea; by car or by plane, there's plenty to see in the good ole US of A.
Purple Mountain Majesty
Purple Mountain's majesty made sense when I visited Montana in 2020. It was the year 2020, and things were still very shut down. My family and I decided to go to Glacier National Park, which was open and mainly had outdoor activities. It was indeed one of the most beautiful places on earth. I have always loved the mountains, but this place beat the mountains of Colorado.

Where Tony Stark, Kevin Bacon & John Wayne Wandered - Treading the Alabama Hills (In California?)
“We’re going to go up the back way,” my partner Eddie says. Fine by me. An always-energetic explorer of California, the route rarely matters to me. I'm like a happy dog with its head sticking out the window on road trips, wind buffeting my smiling face at 65 miles per hour, tongue hanging out.

3 Less-Visited Colorado National Parks, Conquered In A Grand Swing
You’ve heard of Arches and Zion National Parks in Utah? They’re great, but crowded. Popular. I’m the weirdo who's off exploring Utah's lesser-known Capitol Reef National Park instead.

Wonderful Maryland
Ocean City is among the most popular beaches of the mid-Atlantic coast. Here you’ll find ten miles of free public beach and a three-mile classic wooden boardwalk. There are shops, a Ferris Wheel, a roller coaster, a 1902 carousel, and kiosks selling delicious food. A tram will take you to all the attractions. On the beach are free concerts, movies, and other evening activities. The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum has a saltwater tank where you can get a look at local sea creatures.

Juniper Dream
I can't believe this trip was ten years ago already. Have I changed so much in the last decade? Yes, in fact. The answer to that is a resounding yes. Lockdown, plague, double diagnosis, moving, almost dying a few times, losing friends and fam to death and even more to the political divide, having to completely change my lifestyle including eating habits (which means that restaurants are out, so lost some “friends” because they were just hanging around because we were generous with picking up the tabs), and dropping a quite malicious little narcissist.

The Legend of big Foot. AI-Generated.
Bigfoot, otherwise known as Sasquatch, is one of the most resilient myths that exist in the North American folklore. The narrative revolving around this bizarre entity that has always been described as a huge, shaggy, apelike man walking on two legs has fascinated believers and non-believers for ages. It is believed that even though there is no concrete scientific proof backing its existence, people still talk about ‘’Bigfoot’’ due to many reports made by eyewitnesses including photographs as well as clips purporting to reveal its actual appearance.

Hitting the Road
When I was a kid, one of my favorite times of the year was the beginning of Summer. Asides from the fact that this meant two months out of school and sleeping until noon, it meant that it was time for us to pack up to head out on our annual summer vacation. Every year meant a new location. Sometimes we'd go to visit out of state relatives, and sometimes it was just to have fun. Either way, I knew I was going on an adventure.

The Gift of a Snowstorm
It all started with an offer we couldn't refuse. A local airline advertised a deep discount in the price of tickets to Las Vegas to celebrate the Superbowl. Our dream to travel together to visit the Grand Canyon several years earlier had been thwarted by unexpected issues in life at the time. This discount would make it possible for us to finally afford the trip.
