You are my kind of traveler. You’re Googling words like “villa” and “agriturismo” and “Tuscany.” I love you already. Can we chat over a bottle of Chianti with some pecorino cheese and crusty bread?

Here are a few reasons why I think Waikiki is cool.
While everyone travels for different reasons - to experience culture, attend concerts, visit family, or perhaps just laze on a beach, we all can agree that travel equals food.

After visiting this National Park every summer of my life, and even signing up to work there for about $1.88 an hour (because I love it THAT much), I can echo what many others will preach: It's a travesty to only spend a day in this park.

If you think a visit to Italy is only about wine, food, and historical sites...think again. Take your man to Italy's Motor Valley for a little bonding time with Lamborghini, Ducati, and Ferrari.
