It may surprise many visitors to California that the sheer vastness of its landscape boasts everything from beaches to deserts, forests, ski resorts, lakes and mountain cabin life. The last four alone can be found in the peaceful areas of Lake Arrowhead, Twin Peaks and Big Bear, California.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the first Wanderlust Wellspring event in the California desert (Palm Springs) that was a “first-of-its-kind wellness gathering featuring the world’s leading innovators, teachers and socially-conscious companies”.

Joshua Tree, California offers a quiet, groovy, spartan aesthetic of beauty with its jaw-dropping national park, cool small town and a lot of local flavor

Yes, I know, at this point in October you may be sick to death of seeing everyone taking photos of themselves or their kids in pumpkin patches (guilty) as we approach Halloween, but if you have not gone, there is still time! So let’s look at a list of favorites across the nation

Every time I visit Ojai, California it gets harder and harder to leave. Nestled in a valley, located just 30-minutes from Santa Barbara and 90-minutes from Los Angeles, this charming town and artist haven will have you returning too.

Today we honor Indigenous People’s Day: There are currently over 5 million Native Americans and 573 tribes here. Let us we honor their history and culture.

Such a glorious season to enjoy the great outdoors and changing colors, from road trips to camping. Follow these Foliage Maps to find your autumn bliss

The oasis in the desert offers you a relaxed, non-pretentious vacation you will want to return to again and again.

Whenever Fall came along to the North Eastern US, I was immediately draw to country weekend escapes with friends, venturing into the crisp air and yes, going apple picking

I decided to wrap up my ‘Southern Belle’ summer with a trip to Austin, Texas for Labor Day weekend, and did it ever live up to my expectations

Just a quick flight from NYC, Nashville is a great place to join some friends, catch some live music and eat great food. It’s always a great time to visit Music City.

After traveling abroad for so many years, my last few have been consumed with domestic travel in America, exploring its many people, regions and landscapes. This is such a large nation, filled with so many different aspects of culture and landscapes, exploring your own back yard may continually surprise you, as it has me

Aside from the charming Reese Witherspoon movie of the same name, Alabama often get a bad rap. Yet there are many charms and pleasant surprises to entice both visitors and business investors alike.

There are so many fantastic wine producing wine regions in California, it is a delight to explore them all! And while less than 10% of Cali wine comes out of Napa and Sonoma, its dreamy location is hard to beat.

The great City of New Orleans is everything you will hope it to be: Unique, exciting, art-driven, friendly, unexpected and even a bit mysterious.

Charleston and Savannah have quickly become a favorite place in the USA for us to visit, and many of us return again and again (short flight from NYC!). It’s easiest to fly into Charleston, and drive (or hop the train) to Savannah. Beautiful Beaufort sits between the two as well.

Another sad loss for the world of food and culture with the passing of legendary L.A. Times food critic Jonathan Gold yesterday. Thank you for showcasing Los Angeles to the world, Mr Gold.

We don’t spend enough time in nature, full stop. It’s good for our souls on every level, so why not plan for some more day trips or weekends to explore the great outdoors?
