My contribution to @lonelyplanet's staff list of favorite bars is NYC's No More Cafe, which specializes in zero-proof cocktails full of complex flavors. No boring fruit juice here! lonelyplanet.com/articles/favor…

I shared my travel nonnegotiable for @lonelyplanet's staff list: a suitcase with a removable, washable liner. As someone who won't wear outside clothes on her bed, I need a clean place to pack. I'm begging luggage brands to create more products with this! lonelyplanet.com/articles/trave…

One of our top questions to ask new @lonelyplanet hires is "What's the best meal you've had while traveling?" Here are 20 of our answers, including mine: a surprise five-course dinner in Helsinki that convinced me Nordic cuisine is extremely underrated! lonelyplanet.com/articles/staff…

March 2020 me, freshly laid off, could never have imagined that March 2025 me would be doing a @lonelyplanet photo shoot, flying to South Africa the next day to cover a new safari lodge, then hosting a @sxsw travel meetup in Austin: schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/PP… Who is this diva?!

It should be considered socially acceptable to wear Uggs to the office if it's below 10°F outside.

After spending my entire adult life buying silly little things, returning 99% of them, and triple-checking receipts to confirm correct refunds, I finally found an error. I returned two shirts but was only refunded for one. Lifelong anxious habit VINDICATED!!!!

Does anybody else remember how you could get your Neopets their own petpets, and petpets their own petpetpets? This bag charm trend reminds me of that.

Missed @charli_xcx's surprise Times Square performance because I was napping, which somehow feels more brat than going to Times Square for a surprise Charli XCX performance.
