In honor of Independence Day, we’re highlighting four awesome American cities known for their deep ties to America’s history and also known for their distinctive vibe and culture. While it’s extremely hard to narrow it down to just four, I had to stick with a theme and wanted to spread it out across the country.

Escaping to the beautiful beachfront city of Barcelona? This stunning Catalan city is steeped in culture, history, and beautiful, almost otherworldly architecture thanks to Gaudi’s influence. While it’s a part of Spain, it does have its own language (Catalonian) though most do speak Spanish, and its own distinctive history and heritage. Enjoy the popular sites,

Europe’s deep religious ties and history makes it hard to visit and not spend some time admiring the beautiful cathedrals and churches. Even if you’re not the religious type, you can’t help but appreciate the work and dedication to detail that went into these religious buildings. Touring local cathedrals is a popular thing to do
In honor of Cinco de Mayo (which is not Mexican Independence Day, that’s in September!), we decided to highlight five cities you need to visit in Mexico. It was hard limiting ourselves to five as there are tons of amazing cities waiting to be explored in Mexico, but when I choose a theme, I stick

There’s just something extra special about the Garden Isle, maybe it’s the stunning beaches or its lush, green forests and coastlines, or maybe it’s just that everything comes together so perfectly on Kauai to make it an amazing vacation destination among
Even before watching Tarzan, as a kid I was interested in going to Africa someday for a safari adventure.
