Italy’s the kind of place people dream about visiting, and spend several long, laborious years saving up just to have a taste of that pistacchio gelato-flavored, flaming Tyrrhenian dolce vita, even if only for a week in summer. I’m lucky enough to have Italy as my literal backyard. I split my time between Paris and …

I’ve traveled the world, but nothing prepared me for the moment I stepped off the plane in Jackson Hole. The jagged silhouette of the mountains against the skyline immediately commands your attention, promising an adventure that feels both wild and welcoming.

Will the U.S. ever adopt the concept of bullet trains? That hasn’t exactly come to fruition in California despite multiple-comma checks poured in, only to come up short thus far.

We talk a lot about safety in terms of crime or scams, but the quickest way to ruin a vacation isn’t a pickpocket—it’s the tap water. Trust me, I made this mistake ONCE in Mexico and vowed to never let it happen again. The U.S. State Department and CDC maintain active warnings for some of …
