Couples Travel–There's nothing quite like exploring the world with your significant other, though it has its challenges.
Where Hills Speak and Water Remembers:
When I first saw Nazareth’s skyline rising from the Galilean hills, it felt more like stepping into a long-held memory than just arriving somewhere new. Stone buildings tumbled down the slopes, with minarets and bell towers reaching into the same sky. Still, I was drawn to one place above all: the striking, modern Basilica of the Annunciation.

American Motels vs. Hotels
If you ask most Americans today what the difference is between a motel and a hotel, you’ll likely get a shrug. “They’re the same thing, right? One is just cheaper?” No, not quite. The difference between a motel and a hotel isn’t just about price or star ratings. It’s about how America moved, how it paused, and how it learned to travel.

10 Times Tourists Completely Ruined Priceless History
There’s something magnetic about ancient architecture and historic artifacts. Whether it’s a crumbling amphitheater, a sacred temple high in the mountains, or a centuries-old painting in a quiet chapel, we’re drawn to these places. Maybe it’s the mystery. Maybe it’s the legends. Maybe it’s the simple realization that these structures have survived hundreds, sometimes thousands of years.

Our Journey to Merzouga’s Golden Dunes by Morocco Family Vacation
Before traveling to Morocco, the Sahara Desert felt like something meant for postcards or adventurous backpackers not families with kids. I worried about long drives, extreme heat, and whether the experience would be overwhelming for my children. But our family trip to Merzouga, deep in the golden dunes of the Sahara, became one of the most meaningful experiences we’ve ever shared together.

31 Years
Happy Birthday to meeeeeeeeee! Monday birthdays are the worst. I mentioned last week that we’d got Indian food the night before precisely because I was so busy on Monday. I had two classes, then prepping my syllabi and then preparing game and presentation materials for Tuesday.

Iron Lighthouse - Coastal Series: Part III (California)
California’s coast does not need an introduction... That’s the problem. It arrives with expectations already attached, sunlit cliffs, endless vistas, postcard pullouts engineered for awe. People come looking for the version they’ve already seen, and for long stretches, the coast obliges. It performs. It smiles. It sells itself back to you. But that’s not where the road gets interesting.

Iron Lighthouse - Coastal Series: Part II (Oregon)
Oregon’s coast does not soften you on the way in. It tightens first. Trees crowd the road. The sky lowers its voice. The Pacific appears in fragments, between bends, through breaks in spruce and hemlock, across headlands that seem to rise only to block your view again. If Washington’s coast teaches patience, Oregon’s teaches commitment.
