Here is where you can find all the traveling things - Primarily my City Guides. These are where I give you all of my favorite things that I found in different cities: food, coffee, booze, fitness, and stuff to do. I’ll never tell you something was great if it wasn’t, but I won’t be badmouthing, either.

I made an excel file with where each meal would be had. Here’s a list of the places I ate, drank, and some things to do around town.

Burlington, VT: Hipster's Paradise (In The Best Way)

Burlington is everything that is right with hipsters. People bitch and moan about their beanie hats in the summer, and non-prescription glasses, but where hipsters go - creative, local, quality food and drink tend to follow.

Minneapolis: The City You Never Knew You Wanted to Visit

It took all of 12 hours here for me to ask the question:

Let me be clear: I’m specifically talking about the Paleo diet in it’s low-carb iterations, women, and athletic performance. Our bodies react differently to the athletic demands we put on them. Women are not just small men.

5 Workouts You Can Do Anywhere

Hitting the hotel fitness studio? Who knows what you’re gonna get. I’ve seen everything from Pelaton bikes, to 5 dumbbells and a treadmill that doesn’t turn on. Having a few easy, simply, equipment-less workouts in your back pocket can be enough to get you moving when you can.
