Hawaii State

Kauai sometimes falls off the radar when compared to the ravaging Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island or the otherworldly Haleakala Crater on Maui, but it shouldn't. That's because Kauai offers a dynamic landscape alongside a deep-rooted history and an identity all its own. Any guide to the best activities and adventures on Kauai will help you determine what to do when visiting, but you still might be in the dark when it comes to all the hidden gems that add depth and character to a place. On Kauai, that place is Hanapēpē, and it's known as "Kauai's Biggest Little Town."

Hawaii's 'Biggest Little Town' Is A Wildly Underrated Area Full Of Unique Food And Shops

Have you ever daydreamed about spending a lazy week living in a thatched shack in Costa Rica, eating tropical fruits, doing yoga on the beach, and frolicking in the surf? Most travelers with this goal in mind head straight for the thriving expat hub of Nosara, famous for its yoga institute and excellent surf beach. But nobody knows more about enjoyment than native Costa Ricans, so why not follow them to the smaller hamlet of Samara, just 30 minutes away and sharing the Guanacaste province? The famous Costa Rican "pura vida" lifestyle — that's pure living — is one of the reasons this region is a Blue Zone, where happy folks routinely live to 100. And there's no better place to sample that lifestyle than Samara, with its ultra-hip bars and restaurants and dreamy beaches.

Shortly before 3 AM, people in the Chicago area may have felt their houses shake as a 3.4-magnitude earthquake occurred about 60 miles west of the city. (CHICAGO) The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported a 3.4-magnitude earthquake around Somonauk, IL. Somonauk is in DeKalb and LaSalle Counties, 64 miles west of Chicago.

Italy is indeed a beautiful country. From its islands that don't get enough attention to the epic hikes on the active volcano of Mt. Etna, it's a diverse and dynamic combination of land and sea. Although visitors can traverse the Dolomites in the north or maneuver through popular stops along the Amalfi Coast, many first time visitors use Rome as a home base, which is a solid plan. However, once you've followed all the rules at the Trevi Fountain and stood where gladiators battled at the Colosseum, you might be looking for a smaller, more local vibe. Fortunately, there's an alternative nearby that's off the radar for most tourists. It's called Molise, and it's the second smallest region in the country.

It's located in Central California, an underrated wine region, and is only about 20 minutes from San Luis Obispo. If you're looking for a laidback getaway, this is the destination for you.

This article explores the five zodiac signs that are often considered less suited for marriage due to their unique characteristics and tendencies when it comes to lifelong commitment.

Travel expert and TV host Samantha Brown is all about finding authentic travel experiences, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that when asked her choices for the most overrated places in the world, she chose two spots that famously cater to tourists rather than locals: the main piazzas in popular Italian cities and New York City's Times Square.

The Two Most Overrated Destinations In The World, According To Samantha Brown

The islands of Greece are marvelous and varied in their beauty. If you're planning a Greek vacation this summer, you could choose the usual stops for tourists like Mykonos, the city of Athens with its amazing museums, stunning Santorini, or maybe a quieter place like Alonissos. However, if you really want to get away from it all (including hordes of tourists), you can go a bit further afield and visit the remote island of Kastellorizo. It's just a 20-minute ferry ride from Kaş in Türkiye (for only around $38 per person for a day trip) or 2.5 hours on the express ferry (or longer with a local trip) from Rhodes.

Sunshine State vibes in the Buckeye State? While Key West may be the ancestral home of the Parrothead mindset, as inspired by Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, you don't have to go far to get a little taste of that conch lifestyle if you're from Cleveland, Toledo, or Detroit. Just pop on over to Put-in-Bay, a lazy little tourist town on South Bass Island in Lake Erie. You'll likely hear the sound of Jimmy Buffett's "Cheeseburger in Paradise" wafting out of bars as you wander the streets in the spring and summer high season.

Many of us treat our passports as one of our most cherished possessions, and honestly, why not? Regardless of how powerful your passport is, it serves as our literal pass to enter other countries, including back to our own. Some folks even slap on fancy passport covers they spent money on for extra protection, while others fuss over looking nice in their passport photos since they usually last a decade and function as a valid form of identification, too. But let's be real, the best part of a passport is the stamps. Part of the fun of visiting other countries is collecting those little inked mementos. Unfortunately, the days of collecting them are dwindling as more countries go digital.
