New River Gorge, West Virginia: The National Park That Made Me Cancel Every Other Summer Plan

by

I showed up to New River Gorge with zero expectations. A friend had mentioned it offhand — something about a bridge and whitewater — and I figured I’d spend a long weekend poking around before heading somewhere more “destination-worthy.” That was three summers ago, and I’ve been back every year since.

Some travelers spend a week exploring Disney World, dedicating two full days to each park. Others take the opposite approach: hitting all four parks in a single adrenaline-fueled sprint.

Whitefish, Montana: The Mountain Town That Made Me Cancel My Flight Home

by

I almost didn’t write this article. Not because Whitefish, Montana doesn’t deserve the attention — it absolutely does — but because part of me wants to keep it quiet. This is the kind of town that makes you reconsider your entire life plan, and I’m not entirely sure I want the secret getting out. But … Read more

Eureka Springs Arkansas: The Ozark Mountain Town That Made Me Rethink My Entire Itinerary

by

I rolled into Eureka Springs on a Tuesday afternoon in late May, windows down, winding through the Ozark hills on Highway 62, and by the time I pulled into town I was already recalculating my entire itinerary.

Best Places to Celebrate July 4th 2026: Where to Watch America’s 250th Birthday Unfold

by

There’s something about a milestone birthday that makes you want to go all out. When my best friend turned 30, we rented a lake house, set off fireworks from the dock, and stayed up until sunrise arguing about whether hot dogs qualify as sandwiches. America’s 250th birthday? That’s a whole different level of celebration — … Read more
