If you follow this blog, or any of my social channels, then you know I am prone to road trips anywhere and everywhere. I find them to be the best way to connect with a country, to understand its many nuances, landscape and people. Given our current political upheaval in America, I have also found them to be a form of re-connection, and incredibly freeing. So here are some notes from the road trip.

My mother’s family has been in Colorado (& New Mexico) for many generations, and we would return to explore the state every summer. Continuing the tradition, I can’t believe the growth and changes in just a few years in Denver and Boulder, Colorado.

New Mexico is a truly magical state, but the most beautiful city and artist haven is Santa Fe.

Sedona, Arizona has long attracted visitors from around the world for its beautiful scenery and powerful vortexes that are said to be conducive to healing, meditation and self-exploration.

Summer always inspires travel, near and far. So why not take the opportunity to have a spontaneous solo adventure or two? If you have flexibility this summer, and live in a major city hub, then you have to know How To Have Solo Adventure This Summer by House Sitting and Car Relocating options (we have tested them, trust me).

America is a vast country featuring diverse and stunning landscape, certainly the coastline that runs along both the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. And while so many views are gorgeous, they are not necessarily conducive to soft sand and relaxation, so here we round up our top 10 favorite beaches across the USA just in time for summer.

Just a quick drive (or lovely train ride) south down the coast from L.A., San Diego offers beautiful beaches, laid back beauty and some of the best Mexican food north of the border.

Sometimes you just have to get in your car and drive. Read on for our road trip picks for Spring & Summer!

The drive through Big Sur on the way to Monterey and Carmel is nothing short of spectacular, and should be on everybody’s ‘must do’ travel list.

Ever the country’s undisputed hipster mecca, Portland is certainly a weird and wonderful vibrant town, surrounded by sweeping natural scenery, certain to charm you.

Over-the-top glitz, glamor and gambling await you in Vegas, and it’s all about the custom trip tailoring.

My adopted hometown: New York City. It is my favorite City in the world, and there is nothing else like it.

Once associated with grunge music, Microsoft, Starbucks, the movie “Singles”, “Sleepless in Seattle”, and later “Grey’s Anatomy”, these days Seattle is a modern tech draw for people around the USA.

Growing up driving through the giant states of Montana & Wyoming every summer en route to Colorado was a glorious sight indeed. Let me tell you why.

If you are seeking open space and art inspiration, a day visit to Storm King or Dia: Beacon is an excellent escape from NYC

Every time I return to Philadelphia, I am reminded of how much I like it, from the charming old neighborhoods to the Rocky Steps to its history.

For all of you lovers of the great outdoors (and who wouldn’t be), there are so many incredible national parks to enjoy in both the USA and Canada, what are you waiting for?

If you live in California, not doubt you have stopped at (or wanted to stop at) the infamous Hearst Castle located in San Simeon, CA. We finally figured out a great road trip plan for short getaway.

Bienvenido a Miami! While I used to come here frequently in my early NYC days, it had been a while so it felt like the perfect time for a long weekend escape down the coast in January

After hearing so much about the City of Minneapolis, and it’s constant appearances on everyone’s top American Cities to live lists, I thought it was time to go visit friends and see what was going on. I was not disappointed!
