Weekend Getaways
Idyllic Idyllwild: a weekend in the woods
All-seasons mountain village close to S.D. – just a 2.5-hour drive.
"Keep close to Nature’s heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean." ~ John Muir Ah, now I understand ...
Loveland Reservoir: backcountry in San Diego's backyard
Just 45 minutes from downtown, the reservoir offers hiking, fishing and close-to-home wilderness.
Loveland Lake and Dam is a true hidden gem in the backcountry about 40 minutes drive from downtown San Diego off I-8 East. The trailhead can be easily missed if you blink once while driving ...
Joshua Tree glamping & the Integratron
Yurt glamping, sound bathing and stargazing 2.5 hours north of San Diego.
Oh, Joshua Tree. You are unique, far-flung and downright bizarre.... I first visited the quirky desert town several years ago and took to the creative community. While brainstorming road trip ideas one weekend, I settled ...
Explore North America
Love for H-Town
The Big Star Bar and local craft brews overcome Houston's mosquito-revitalizing weather.
Ahh, Houston! As soon as I landed, my shirt got stuck to my body as I breathed in that humid thick air. Siri told me that my week visiting Texas for my cousin’s wedding was ...
I forge a Virginia ham trail
Virginia hams are country hams, but you can also get “city ham” there, too. Got this straight?
When you visit a region, its cuisine says as much about its culture as paintings in an art museum. Travelers rush to Napa Valley for wine, Wisconsin for cheese, Maine for lobster... but there’s just ...
Finding the iconic West in Monument Valley
Tour this rich desert landscape on the Utah-Arizona border with a Navajo guide.
“Be still and the earth will speak to you." ~ Navajo saying Monument Valley. Just the name conjures up images of the majestic, iconic buttes and classic western landscape so often seen in movies and ...
Go Abroad!
Fascinating Kinmen, Taiwan
Cold War tunnels and traditional villages greet the curious visitor to this tiny island group.
A convenient weekend break from the noise and bustle of Taipei is a one-hour flight to the island of Kinmen. Although Kinmen is controlled by Taiwan, it lies only eight kilometers from the Chinese mainland ...
Escape to Minca, Colombia
Get a break from the heat of the north coast in this sleepy backpacker hub.
It’s not the kind of place that comes to mind when thinking about Colombia, but a little mountain village called Minca gets my vote for best of honors. A slow 17 kilometers up and out ...
Get lost in Marseilles, France's second city
Explore a maze of narrow streets, hip neighborhoods, grafitti art and grand museums.
Marseille has never gotten its due as a vacation destination. Most people traveling to southern France pass through Marseille’s airport and move directly on to the more pristine and tony Provencal destinations, such as Aix-en-Provence ...
Buenos Aires in 48 hours
Must-do's, see's and eats in the impressive Argentinean capital.
It's surely one of the most impressive cities in South America, and a must-see for any traveler, even folks who prefer the countryside. Having said that, Buenos Aires is a gigantic mass of humanity, and ...
Japan: a land of contrasts
By far the phrase I used most often was “Arigata gozaimasu”: I appreciate it.
I stare out at Mount Fuji: bright, clear, stately, basking in the morning sunshine. Cherry blossoms frame my view alongside the stunning Chureito Pagoda in the foreground. My timing was implausibly fortuitous. The previous day ...
