I finally got a chance to write about @oberlin! When I arrived as a freshman (many decades ago now) it was my dream of what a college campus would look like. Writing this, I found that there was even more there than I realized. https://t.co/WGY8gsAD4F

This time last year I was on a rafting trip on the Yampa River. I'm not a camper so this was out of my comfort zone but it was such a privilege. I write about it in the latest post for The Travel Book Club + some great books about river travel. https://t.co/Rwpuhlv3aC

I especially liked editing this Ethels Tell All for @aarp, since at heart it's about the transformative power of travel: https://t.co/zIwUtoyxTI

Came across this vintage story of mine, and reminded once again how lucky I've been to have been able to travel to all these amazing places: https://t.co/30TZhqd8cF

Nice article behind the scenes of how the amazing Josue Castilleja has been creating the look and logos of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival (starting this week!) for years (decades?)

Altho I wrote this story for @AFARmedia before we knew the scope of the shenanigans that would specifically impact D.C., my point remains the same: D.C. remains a world-class cultural capital because of people like these 3: https://t.co/3gzGV7ODxW

My first real job after college was at @smithsonian. I’d try to spend part of every lunch hour visiting one of its many free museums. This article captures how interesting amazing beautiful its collection is and how lucky we are that it exists. https://t.co/pGWbJcSxxu

In 2008, I started an in-house travel book club at National Geographic. Now that I'm no longer on staff at Nat Geo, a bunch of us have started a fun side project: The Travel Book Club Substack! Subscribe if you're interested in joining us! https://t.co/PlgBlJCYca
