The best places for yoga are at once picturesque and contemplative, whether it be pranayama in Ladakh’s austere landscape, dhanurasana in the thick of Thailand’s jungles, or shavasana beside an Alpine lake in New Zealand. These experiences offer as much external peace as they do internal, and even long after the session and trip have
The second day of my first trip to Guadalajara, a decade ago, began, like so many mornings in Mexico's second city do: with blazing sunshine and a blazing hangover. I'd spent the previous evening sipping agave distillates at Mezonte, a miniature plywood-clad tasting room that pours some of Mexico's most exciting spirits, and dancing clumsily
I’ve been going to the Catskills for as long as I can remember, and I still adore the feeling when the drive north begins to feel less like a commute and more like a true escape from the city. As a native New Yorker, I’ve spent years getting to know this upstate mountain region in
I was about nine years old when my dad first took me to the Hard Rock Cafe in New York, and I still remember being completely taken with the walls.

My first Mykonos trip ran on family time: pool swims at my uncle’s sugar-cube villa, a nap mandated by my mother, then dinner at 10 p.m., which, in our Greek family, qualified as an early-bird booking. At 15, I discovered what those naps had been preparing me for at Sea Satin, the late-night dining room

I’ve always liked Miami best with a little room to spread out. I grew up coming here on family vacations, then came back for solo escapes, girls’ trips, and romantic weekends by the beach. Somehow, I still find myself falling for the city’s distinct combination of pastel Art Deco buildings, swaying palm trees, warm ocean
Everyone seems to be searching for the same thing right now: an Italian hidden gem untouched by the algorithm. It's the summer of social feeds filled with striped parasols, nonnos playing cards, and sun-bleached port towns captioned with phrases like, “this is how Italy feels.” After all, what's not to love about capturing this country’s
With thousands of idyllic islands scattered across the Adriatic Sea, along with TV-famous towns, ancient ruins, and turquoise lakes, it was only a matter of time before this picturesque part of the world transformed into an international hot spot.
