While any traveler may struggle to narrow down just one place to visit, Steves has identified Italy as a must-see European country.

Steves raved about the popular destination on his website: "Lake Como, lined with elegant 19th-century villas, crowned by snow-capped mountains, and buzzing with ferries, is our favorite.

When it comes to planning the perfect visit to Disney, most parkgoers generally try to focus on what attractions they're going to hit up or what characters they're hoping to meet. However, in between the excitement and anticipation, there's one major detail that visitors tend to overlook: the dress code. Yeah, believe it or not, even the "Happiest" and "Most Magical" places on Earth aren't exempt from strict rules and regulations when it comes to what guests can and can't wear. And with hundreds of videos on TikTok detailing why or when certain people got "dress coded," it's safe to say the park doesn't play around.

Standing atop São Miguel Arcanjo fort, you watch a 50 to 100-foot-tall wave rear up out of the Atlantic Ocean, creating the illusion that it's about to overwhelm you with its might and menace.

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.
