Onstage, Chappell Roan Is a Powerhouse. And Exactly Where She Wants to Be. The singer’s Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things Tour highlights how she continues to deviate from the rising pop star’s expected playbook.

The #CabotTrail winds through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in #NovaScotia. Dramatic coastal cliffs, lush highlands, and views that stretch for miles. A legendary drive where the journey is the destination.

Writing is an act of rebellion.
Writing is an act of creation.
Writing is an act of salvation.
Writing is an act of exploration.
Writing is an act of emotion.
Writing is an act of confession.
Writing is an act of speculation.
Writing is an act of reflection.
Keep writing.

Spain's So-Called Tourist Ban Isn’t Actually a Ban on Tourists. Here's What Travelers Need to Know As cities in Spain continue to implement measures to restrict short-term vacation housing, the messaging has been misconstrued. Here’s the latest on travel to and within Spain.

My latest for Afar discusses the reasons behind the latest β€˜tourist ban’ in Spain.

The iconic railway tracks leading into the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, framed under a vibrant orange and blue sunset sky. The tracks converge at the main entrance gate with the guard tower silhouetted against the fiery hues of the setting sun.

The iconic railway tracks leading into the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, framed under a vibrant orange and blue sunset sky. The tracks converge at the main entrance gate with the guard tower silhouetted against the fiery hues of the setting sun.

We expect that some 50 Auschwitz Survivors will come to the Memorial for the 80th anniversary of the liberation.

The eyes and ears of the world should rest upon them.

We must safeguard their voices from silence, distortion, or being overshadowed.

πŸŽ„βœ¨ Merry Christmas to everyone! βœ¨πŸŽ„ If you're spending the day with loved ones, take a moment to think of someone who might be alone. The magic of Christmas is in the heart, and a simple gestureβ€”like inviting them to join youβ€”can make all the difference. ❀️ It matters more than you know. 😊🎁

First commission for the new year is at a prestigious pub. And despite the dreary media landscape at the moment, l asked for a higher fee, and got it. Never be afraid to reach for the stars, even when they seem too far to reachπŸ₯‚.

Unpopular opinion: year in reviews should happen in January when you can actually reflect on the year.

There are already many excellent travel writer starter packs circulating but I thought I'd make a Europe-specific one so that colleagues new to Bluesky can see some local faces in their feed. Do share – and though it's nowhere near finished yet, do DM me if I've missed you! go.bsky.app/2bgQ6UY

Not exactly a #callforpitches, but a periodic reminder that I'm always open to pitches about QuΓ©bec travel for the ongoing series I oversee at Vermont's Seven Days newspaper. Send me your juicy, your colorful, your sharply observed story ideas! Details and some examples in this thread.
