Any writer worth his weight in hardbacks knows that one of the most essential aspects of a story is setting; it sets the scene, provides conflict, controls character interaction, and creates a mood.

These days, most people (particularly in the US) down a power bar on the go — or skip breakfast all together. But doctors (and nagging mothers) have long dubbed it the most important meal of the day…and we’d argue it can also be the most delicious. During our travels, we’ve used this MD-approved advice as…
We believe in the overall travel principle that less is often more. Short trips with fewer destinations means more time spent absorbing and really connecting to a locale. Less baggage to carry around means more freedom on the road. And we always love when things work out to be more bang for less buck! This…
Actually comprising three waterfalls, Niagara Falls is situated between the borders of Ontario, Canada and New York. This natural wonder, which pours 750,000 gallons of water each second, attracts millions of travelers each year. Some daredevils have even tightrope-walked across the falls, or gone over it in a barrel (and survived!). Though we’re supporters of…

Once exclusive to hippies, yoga has become an increasingly popular mainstream activity, so more hotels are stepping up to the (yoga) mat and offering Ohm-style amenities for yoginis on-the-go. And while we love a good, simple stretch, we still require a little something more than a bottle of water and place to roll out our…
It’s that time of year, and we know what you’re wondering — are you on Santa’s naughty or nice list this season? We think your hotel room taste might be a good indication. Are you the type that likes traditional, buttoned-up luxury? Something quaint and charming? Or would you prefer something that’s a little more…

What’s a traveling (and growing) waistline to do? Well, while we can’t argue that your grandmother’s pecan pie isn’t absolutely delicious and a must-have (two…
