My south-Sarasota County loop — shark-tooth hunting at Caspersen, sunsets off the rebuilt Venice Pier, Venice Avenue dinners and ice cream, and Nokomis tiki bars on the water.

I have been in North County for 5 years now and am always looking for new places to camp out for the day. But the coffee has to be good and the vibes have to be right! Below is a list of my fave places to chill out with friends, have a solo reading day, or pull out my laptop for an office away from the office vibe.
Welcome to my Dublin guide — pubs, cozy stays, and Irish magic! I've rounded up my favorite finds: the hotels I'd book, the tours I'd take again, the restaurants I keep dreaming about, and the historic spots that stole my heart.

This was a great vacation. We stayed at an Airbnb ~3 miles west of Hanalei, which is the last main town in Kauai as you head west towards the Nā pali coast. Unfortunately, the Airbnb is no longer listed, and next time we will look for a place even closer to a swimmable beach so we can walk and not deal with putting kids in the car.
90% of the time we stayed in a 10 mile radius because it was perfect for us. Our recommendations are just north side and basically just Hanalei surroundings.
If we came back, we’d definitely adventure out a little more to see more -- waimea canyon, south side, etc. -- but Hanalei area is the dopest on the north side so we were happy as clams. This is a list of things we did.
Lyon brings together grand viewpoints, leafy escapes, vivid murals, Roman history, and a range of stays. The details I’d remember most include a real sense of character, so it feels more like a friend's shortlist than a city directory.

This past year, I was lucky enough to spend a few months in Zadar, soaking up that gorgeous Adriatic sun. And as someone who's 50% Croatian myself, I happen to know a few spots that most tourists never find. These are my very favorite places, especially if you want to beat the crowds and have those crystal-clear waters (almost) all to yourself, also INCLUDING the day trips to nearby islands and sleepy little villages that somehow still fly under the radar for most tourists! Uživati!!
I just got back from flying to California, vacationing for four days, and then went on a cruise for a little over a week. I'm a very chaotic traveller; pack right before I leave-always.

After getting stuck with a dead battery on an icy morning, I built a winter kit for every car in our family and have never regretted it. These are the jump starters, tire inflators, ice scrapers, and emergency supplies I keep in the trunk from November to March, so a cold weather surprise becomes a small inconvenience instead of a crisis. Share your must-have winter car item in the comments!
