Piedmont
Alba’s truffle fair runs one week a year. The rest of the time, Piedmont keeps its best things quietly to itself.
Travel for Couples
Couples travel is its own category — long dinners, slow mornings, and the kind of trip you actually want to share a room for. Here you will find romantic destinations, honeymoon and anniversary ideas, adults-only stays, and itineraries that balance downtime with just enough adventure to make the photos interesting.

-
Strasbourg
Strasbourg’s single Gothic spire cuts the skyline before you even reach Grande Île — and the winstubs behind it are where the real Alsace lives.

-
South Dakota
West of the Missouri River, South Dakota shifts fast — Great Plains give way to Black Hills forests, canyon walls, and lakes most people never reach.
-
Sonoma Valley
Napa gets the headlines, but Sonoma is where winemakers actually want to drink. The tasting rooms are smaller, the pours are more generous, and nobody is rushing you out.
-
Penang
George Town’s assam laksa alone justifies the flight. The street art, clan houses, and hawker stalls make it hard to leave.
-
Indianapolis
Indianapolis gets underestimated constantly. The Motor Speedway alone justifies the trip, but the neighborhoods are what made me stay longer.
-
Molokai
Molokai has no traffic lights, no high-rises, and no resort strip. That’s the point — and exactly why it feels like Hawaii used to.
-
Norwegian Fjords
Nærøyfjord is so narrow the ferry nearly grazes the cliff walls. No photo prepares you for the scale of it.

-
Wisconsin
Wisconsin’s supper clubs, frozen custard stands, and Lake Michigan shoreline don’t get enough credit. This state rewards the curious traveler.
-
Helsinki
Löyly’s smoke sauna opens to the Gulf of Finland. Suomenlinna is a World Heritage site you reach by €10 ferry. Helsinki rewards slow.
-
Edinburgh
Arthur’s Seat costs nothing and outperforms every castle view in the city. Give it two hours and go early.
-
Montalcino
Brunello di Montalcino is reason enough to come. The fortress views over the Val d’Orcia seal the deal.
-
Georgia
Atlanta and Savannah get the attention, but Jekyll Island and Providence Canyon are why Georgia stays on my list.
-
Birmingham
The Jewellery Quarter alone justifies a detour — 700 independent businesses in one neighborhood, and most tourists never make it past the Bullring.
-
Toronto
Toronto has 200 neighborhoods and most visitors see three. Start in Kensington Market, then let the city pull you somewhere unexpected.
-
Utrecht
Utrecht has canals like Amsterdam but none of the crowds. The wharfside cafes sit a full level below street — it changes how the whole city feels.
-
Triglav National Park
Lake Bohinj gets a fraction of Bled’s crowds and delivers twice the scenery. Triglav’s real draw is what surrounds it.

Perugia
Perugia runs deeper than its chocolate festival — the Etruscan Well alone predates Rome, and the medieval core still feels lived-in.
