If you are reading this, you know what I’m going to say … Happy New Year! For me personally, 2018 was quite a whirlwind! I began my new position with Global Traveler in July, moved to a new city and made some new friends and traveled to places I’d never expected!
2019 is a new year, but it isn’t always a new you; it’s a new destination, and from a recent survey, you like to share it! I recently read an article on our fabulous Global Traveler website, that featured a discussion on the most hash-tagged places in the USA, which pointed out trends in what we travelers choose to publish or publicly “tag” ourselves in the world. One of the top selections as far as beaches was the beautiful and vibrant Miami Beach. I have visited Miami Beach, and it is certainly one to add to your travel list if you have not already!
My question, though, is what inspires our travels? Starting a new year, one tends to reflect on what plans or goals are paramount to accomplish, and for our readers, travel is a top one. Besides our trips we plan for business, the driving factors vary between individuals. I believe for some it is a major life event, such as a honeymoon, that may inspire travel. For others, perhaps it’s visiting a college friend who moved and they want to see their new digs, or maybe it’s the annual family getaway that we daydream about, taking time to rest and be present and enjoy the fruits of our labors.
Whatever your travel inspirations are and whatever fuels them, please take the time to check out and sign up for our e-newsletters for each of our websites! Our brands each host original editorial content to appeal to every household. This is sure to inspire both you and your friends to seek the new year and NEW travel destinations.

Feb 26, 2024Fukui: A Culture Hub in Rural Japan Worth the Detour
In many cases, less can be more in terms of what smaller cities and small-scale museums have to offer. This is true for Fukui Prefecture, located on the west coast of the main island and best known for its coastline, terrain and quiet towns. While major cities are awash with large-scale museums, bucolic Fukui Prefecture is worth a visit for its assemblage of institutions offering a deeper dive into Japanese life, history and culture.

Come Face-to-Face with Mountain Gorillas on a Trek in Uganda
Not a word was spoken as I settled into a cozy spot on the outdoor terrace just outside the main lodge at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge in Uganda. The air was so still the ice in my single malt seemed to echo off the forest in the distance as it clanked against the glass. I sat among a handful of fellow adventurers, each sitting silently beneath the night sky for one collective goal. Moments earlier, we learned a troop of mountain gorillas had made their way down the mountain near our lodge, and we left our meals to instead sit in eager anticipation of hearing the guttural grunts of the primates below. The chills on my arms never left me that night, even as I made my way up a stone pathway to my personal banda (guestroom). Thankfully, sleep came quickly for me that night as I drifted into dreams of what my next day would bring.
