Every spring, Augusta, Georgia, takes the global stage as the host of the annual Masters golf tournament. But where exactly is Augusta and what’s it like there the other 361 days of the year? We’re so glad you asked. This hidden gem in Georgia has outdoor activities galore and is packed with Southern charm, culture, and cuisine. The best part? It’s just a few hours from Atlanta.
If you’re anything like us, you probably chase the kind of off-the-beaten-path places that usually require flying into tiny, overpriced airports or committing to a marathon ten-hour drive. Here’s a little secret we’ll let you in on: you don’t have to do any of that to get a rugged, under-the-radar adventure in Arizona. Phoenix is one of the nation’s biggest cities – which means it’s one of the cheapest and easiest airports to fly into – and sitting just beyond its city limits is Arizona’s stunning Copper Corridor.
Arizona is world-famous for its many highlights: Grand Canyon National Park, a thriving international food scene, and sensational golf. But there is much left to discover, only an hour away from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Superior, Arizona.
Rural. Remote. Exposed. Forgotten. All words used to describe Donegal by locals themselves. As a foreigner in Ireland, though, I find they don’t paint the full picture. Donegal’s also majestic. Unspoiled. Wistful. Even melancholy. When I visited Ireland’s forgotten county on the northwest corner of the isle, I was met with unrelenting climate and terrain and enduring culture and traditions.
Tucked away in the northeastern corner of the Italian Alps lies the mountainous region known as “the Dolomites.” Some of this area was once part of Austria, and today the blend of cultures, languages, and lifestyles creates a beautiful melting pot of Alpine magic. I recently embarked on an epic 10-day trip to the region with my partner, which I’ve compiled into this detailed itinerary. From summiting peaks to admiring them from the sauna, we enjoyed a little bit of everything during this car-free summer trip to the Dolomites.
The Dolomites, part of the northeastern Italian Alps, are an impressive mountain range known for their world-renowned skiing. Plenty of people come here for the powder, but what if you don’t ski? Luckily, there are plenty of ways to have an epic experience, on the slopes or off, against the same stunning backdrop.
Is it possible to do the Dolomites in summer in less than a week? With an open mind and little hustle: yes, and this five-day itinerary lays out how to see the major attractions of the Dolomites in just five days without a car. Pack in a little bit of everything in just a few short days: hiking, history, food, culture, charming villages, larger towns, affordable rifugios, splurge stays, and a range of outdoor activities.
When it comes to places to stay in the Dolomites, the Ansitz Steinbock is a tough act to follow. In fact, after you stay in this historic manor, your check out will evoke feelings that your accommodation expectations might be unreasonably high for your next few trips – no matter where you go. That’s what happens when you experience the perfect blend of friendly familiarity and luxurious indulgence. The Ansitz Steinbock isn’t just a castle where you can wine, dine, and sleep, it’s where you can make yourself at home.
