Santa Cruz, where I went to university, is a town that had a big impact on me. So, it was really great to go back last month and research and write, "36 Hours in Santa Cruz" for @nytimestravel, https://t.co/GVhI16Z9Of

I've recently traveled to Minneapolis twice for various assignments. I wrote and reported on this piece in November but updated it this month after the invasion of ICE traumatized the entire city. MPLS needs some love right now and I'm happy to give it. https://t.co/T3E1whVdKo

I've been a fan of and advocate for Georgian cuisine for years and so I was happy to see the sudden explosion of Georgian restaurants in NYC recently. I wanted, though, to find out why. @EaterNY let me do just that. https://t.co/wNik4EfvlV

Cecilia Jimenez, the woman in Borja, Spain who turned the "Ecce Homo" (Behold the Man) into "Ecce Mono" (Behold the Monkey) died today. I hope she's in heaven sitting next to Monkey-Jesus. I loved seeing it with my own eyes and writing about it. https://t.co/hlv9YpAsZ6

Today is as good a day as any to remember that “pavo” means “turkey” in Spanish and “pavo real,” literally “royal turkey,” is a “peacock.”

In this airport lounge in Budapest, there is a low-level hum of the blending of different languages along with a few very boisterous pockets of confident American accents broadcasting to us all what they did on their trips along with various details of their life stories.

@Ensaniyaat Thanks so much, Nicole!

One day while eating pho in NYC, I stopped and wondered: this national dish of Vietnam had to have originated somewhere, right? So, I booked a flight to Hanoi to go find out. Here's the result: https://t.co/T9HoABRFhL

When I learned that @AuthorDanBrown had set his latest novel in Prague—my home away from home—I was curious to learn what places he liked there the most. And so, here it is: https://t.co/FQ0eAY6C7M

In 2002, Thailand started a program called "Global Thai," a soft power move that subsidized Thai restaurants abroad. It's been a huge success. Now the Czechs are doing something similar with beer. I wrote about it here. https://t.co/R7BismvJlU
