Lying To My Kids About The Dentist and Taking Them To Disney Instead!
I planned one of the biggest surprises of their life. I bought them tickets to go to Disneyland for the weekend of its grand opening.
Jessica SkubePublished 5 days ago in WanderI Left My Heart In Kerry, Ireland
There’s an old Irish adage that goes: “There are only two kingdoms, the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Kerry.” The words appear on a shiny plaque in my grandparent’s guest room. Whenever I see it, I am reminded of the rugged cliffs, salt-laden breeze, emerald fields and ancient, oak forests of southwestern Ireland.

Diary of a Misanthrope
The first time I really questioned my species was underwater. With a nasty cut seeping red blotches into a blue expanse I could feel my heart pumping, my body reacting to all that self-preservation hyped by film, television, and literature. While Homo aquaticus has never been, and isn’t yet a thing, the wilds of underwater have this capacity to make you remember some ancestral sense of vulnerability. It is, after all, not an environment suited to the spongy bags in our chest. But it is a wondrous place, and when afforded the moment to reflect on this, underwater salts the eyes into tears. Tears of both joy and mourning.

My Tips for Traveling with Tiny Humans
What is this life if not a grand adventure? And yes, adventures can be scary. We have to take a leap of faith, get outside of our comfort zone, and take a walk into the unknown to experience one. But all of those things are also what make it worthwhile. They are what makes taking the risk pay off.

Things I Didn’t Know About the Southwest Before Moving Here
Three years ago I decided to drop everything and more or less move to Tucson, Arizona on a whim. After living in the Midwest and Southeast, I decided on checking out the desert for a little while, because why not, right? As someone who works at home, there were a few side projects I really wanted to finish, but distractions in varying forms continually knocked at my door, asking if I could come out and play.

Postcards from Italy
The pandemic ruined the plans I had for this summer. I was supposed to visit Paris, I was waiting for that moment with so much excitement, but I had to cancel. After some initial disappointment, I started planning my vacation in my own country: Italy.
Martina I.Published 24 days ago in Wander5 Lessons From 3 Months of Travel
We haven't spoken in months. I thought I had nothing to tell you. But, to be honest, I haven't written much of anything. I'm only writing this because I forced myself. I arranged all the conditions to conduce a “creative environment.”
Candace Clicks with Twins
I have wished, at times, that I had been born twins. That way, the part of me that appreciates the conveniences of city living could reside in comfort, while the part of me that strongly prefers rural life could enjoy communing with nature. However, as twins, I would be two individuals, not one. Living apart from my hypothetical twin would separate me from my best friend. Neither of us would derive pleasure from the other's experiences in the other place. After pondering this, I concluded that having a twin wouldn't solve my conundrum of wanting to be in two places at the same time.

The Wonder of Beautiful Meaningless Things
Does a flower bloom because it is meaningful? Yes, no, maybe both. Sometimes we confuse meaningfulness with usefulness. The usefulness of a flower is reproduction. It protects the plant’s reproductive organs, attracts pollinators, and bears fruits and seeds. We’ve all been taught this basic plant biology lesson somewhere in our elementary education, but probably haven’t thought about it again since.

The Other Way
I am so exhausted that I find it hard to write. I have been traveling all day and wearing a mask for more than 10 hours, barely able to breath. I got out of bed at 430AM in Philadelphia, rushed to the airport, and have been going ever since. Here, in CR, it is only 8PM, but my body knows it is really 10. I have a choice...to try to stay up until my normal bedtime or to just go to bed right now and possibly wake up in the middle of the night. That really isn’t a choice for me.

What You Must Know Before Boarding a Plane with a Cane
Most concerned persons have asked if they can travel by air with their canes. Obviously, there are no restrictions with road trips, but air travel has some regulations. Canes are allowed on planes because they are considered mobility devices. However, many airlines could deny you access for many reasons. Passengers are sometimes given the option to insert it in their luggage if they can't go in with it.
