"Wanna Get Away?"
It's Thursday. It's 3 PM. You're about two comments away from telling your supervisor or employee where to shove that patronizing smile that they shine on you as they ask you another stupid question, or hand you another, boring, useless task. It's April and you're already "over" all the B.S. your career has to offer and you've got to get away.

The Real Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a beautiful country. If you ask anyone who has visited, you will hear them say the same thing. But, if you truly want to visit Costa Rica, then you have to step past "gringo" territory and obtain an accurate view of the country.

Why Not Stay in America's Oldest Inn?
We used to go to Rhinebeck when I was a child—my grandparents had friends in the area and we always stayed in their old historical home, which came with an old fashioned red barn, that was also stained and came in a myriad of textures. Cows would be in the pastures and they had a horse, a rabbit and some chickens in the back. It was glorious and all of my memories of those visits were magical.

I Took a Gap Year & Now I'm Moving to Hawaii
At age 14, it was clear to me that I wanted to take a Gap Year to go travel and see the world a little and be free from all those expectations that I was faced with on a day to day bases. When senior year came and all my classmates were hanging up their college signs on their lockers and mine was still blank and everyone asked me if I was going to go to college after, all I could think was “Why are you people rushing this?” I was the only person in my grade that decided to not go to college but that had this need to travel before anything else.
