One Spooky Town to Visit in Each of the 6 New England States

Sporting some of the best fall foliage anywhere in the nation, New England is kind of the place to be when you start to feel that crisp, crisp air creep back in. The color-changing parade that falls across the region like a patchwork quilt every September and October is undoubtedly one of the biggest draws for anyone looking to put a fall getaway on the books, but let’s also remember that this is spooky season, and New England is hardly wanting in the arena of things that go bump in the night. From haunted houses and hotels to ghost-riddled cemeteries and ships, you can scare your pants off properly six ways to Sunday.

There's a New National Park in West Virginia? And We Barely Even Noticed?

With everything going on in the world these days, you could be forgiven for missing a bit of news here and there, but what does it say when just about everyone under the sun fails to notice the same thing? Well, in these pandemic-ravaged times, I suppose it’s understandable; however, it’s still kind of odd that the U.S. added a new national park to the club toward the end of 2020, and almost no one noticed.

Ever Dreamed of Visiting the North Pole? Alaska Has the Next Best Thing

Admit it: when you were a kid, paying a visit to Santa and his workshop in the North Pole was one of the top items on your travel bucket list (before you’d even heard of the term “bucket list”, most likely). As you’ve gotten older and realized the impossibility of making such a journey, maybe that dream has fallen by the way side — but I’ve got good news for you: you can start dreaming again.

Not too long ago, I was telling you all about a handful of travel websites that I often turn to when looking for inspiration, advice, travel deals, or all of the above.

Magicians may never reveal how they do their tricks and reporters may not give away their sources, but I don't have too much of an issue revealing the websites that provide me with travel inspiration on the regular.
