Last week I spent a few days with my family in Gainesville, Florida. I’m always humbled by their generosity and kindness. The word that best suites by Aunt Joyce is ‘solid’. She’s the matriarch of her family and rules with a kind heart. She uses honey to catch...

For me the key to travel is to do as the locals. Although many locals don’t partake in their own claims to fames. For example, I know a slew of New Yorkers who’ve never been to The Statue of Liberty. They’ve never walked her hallowed halls but they can tell you...
