I travel for the Chill

Resolve 2012: Eco, Pray, Yoga

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – For me, it was an off-the-beaten-track adventure. But it's a perfect place to spend a mid-life crisis, to get away from the world and live in the present. 

Coming in for The Landing

HARBOUR ISLAND, Bahamas – It's all about superb simplicity, laid-back atmosphere, and a slight British vibe. If I’ve undersold my love, let me be clear: This would be my Death Row meal.

Jamaica's Coolest Joint

NEGRIL, JAMAICA – A North American Indian-inspired compound in the middle of Negril? Enough said to get designer Geren Lockhart on the next plane to an island nation of the Greater Antilles.

Raccoons Make Good House Guests

WISCONSIN, USA – He came for a visit, never left, and has made the place safe for raccoons ever since. Scenes from the rough life of the little beast at camp.

The Joy of the Off-Season Hamptons

THE HAMPTONS – Six-packs in hand and scarves wrapped tight, we trekked the Walking Dunes beneath brilliant sunshine and hardly encountered another soul. 

My Tropical Phoneymoon

MOOREA, French Polynesia – Not that the dancers were untalented, unenthusiastic, or unattractive. There were jokes about how my wedding and bachelor party had been combined. 

Ask Fathom: What Doesn't Suck in SoBe?

MIAMI, Florida – Be nice: When it's miserable in Philadelphia, it's sunny in South Beach. Even if they do value tininess of bikini over speediness of room service.

Love Letter: Serenbe's Southern Charm

PALMETTO, GA – You were the place that my locavore-preaching foodie friends, crickets-worshipping writer friends, and boonies-craving city friends could agree on.
