Travel from sea to shining sea; by car or by plane, there's plenty to see in the good ole US of A.

Epcot
“To reach out and touch tomorrow, take the future in our hands…” if you know where this line comes from, it means that you know which Disney theme park I am referring to. EXACTLY! IT’S EPCOT. I remember the first time I stepped foot in that park, I could realize that there was something special, maybe a little spark of inspiration, an idea behind those words. If you are one of those people who think that Epcot has something especial, you are not wrong. I invite you today to learn about the history of Epcot and what it became. If you are new in the World of Disney, stay with us, so when you visit for the first time this spectacular park, you will be able to see behind the name.

6,000 Miles
Guam is a small island. It consists of 210 square miles, approximately 170,000 people, and most importantly, my family. Guam is my home, culture, the place I knew everything about. We grew up a day ahead of the United States. We were, after all, where America’s day begins. And yet, we were barely considered Americans.

New York, New York
For me, foreign travel has always been a contentious issue at the best of times but it seems more so now than ever before, what with complex international relationships right across the world developing into an ever-decreasing spiral of animosity and fear. With that in mind and with the constant media coverage of war and terrorism bombarding us 24/7, the prospective traveler might find it difficult to even sum up the will to leave the comfort and safety of his or her front room.

The Adventures of Cream Pop
Hi, my name is Cream Pop! I am two inches tall, and I love going on adventures with my people. Their names are not important because this one is about me. Mom calls me a diva, but I think it's more of a model aesthetic. I mean, look at that plump butt and that fluffy tail!

Most Extreme Places to Camp in America
Camping is one of those activities that basically requires you to be somewhat rugged. A person who isn't willing to deal with a bug bite or a little mud will not fare well in a campground setting—even if the weather is great.

A Traveler's Guide to Washington DC
The capital of the United States, traveling to and in it, can be a daunting task. You may have questions about what to do, what's a ripoff, and how to not waste your day in a museum.

Visiting New York City
I was lucky enough to travel to New York in September for my 21st birthday but while I was there, there were a few things that I wish someone had told me, so here I am, telling you lot!

Best West Coast Vacations
West coast vacations may be peaceful or exciting, spent pampered like a princess in the center of a metropolis or living as one with nature. They can be a weekend or a month long, though you may not be blamed for extending your stay, and the area is suited for travel by plane, foot, and even train.

Not Having an Agenda Is OK
I have spent the first and only 20 years of my life in Texas. Sure, it's a wonderfully big state with lots to do, but I never saw its true beauty like I did when I went to the state of Colorado.

The Boring City
You'd think I loved St. Louis Missouri if you listened to me talk about how much I hate it. Or you'd probably think I was from this exotic and intriguing area, like Hawaii, or something. No, so technically I really have nothing to compare it to. But there HAS to be somewhere better than this, and if not then I am doomed. St. Louis, Missouri is so boring that we don't even have a cool sounding accent. For example, if you travel just about five hours north (or however that works) you'll hit Chicago. Even though they talk very slow to the point where you can't even tell if they are finishing their sentence or out of breath, they still sound cool. After doing some research on the topic of St. Louis accents I learn that they just talk faster than some people from Chicago. St. Louis can't even be original with their accent.

Washing Away the City
I had just taken a breath after graduating college. The week after I took my last undergraduate exam, we ran away to New Mexico. I am an artist and my partner is an artist—the desert towns which serve as an oasis of artistic splendor and productivity drew us to the valleys and mountains. Just before the crack of dawn, we blinked away our sleep, packed up my parents’ car, snuggled our sweet pit bulls one more time before their puppy-sitter arrived, and hit the ground like the bulls of Spain. With the sun at our heels, we made it halfway across Texas before the clouds woke up.

Ultimate North Carolina Road Trip
North Carolina, a state that seems to have it all. Growing up in North Carolina you learn that our state is separated into three geographic regions. The mountains, the piedmont, and the coast. This in itself is crazy, that one state can have such a vast array of regions. This provides all sorts of activities and cities to behold.
