Beyond Munich: The No.1 Oktoberfest Alternatives Around the World
Oktoberfest is more than a beer festival—it's a cultural phenomenon that spans continents, drawing millions each year to revel in Bavarian traditions. Originating in Munich in 1810 as a royal wedding celebration, the event has evolved into a global showcase of German heritage, complete with steins of lager, bratwurst, polka music, and lederhosen. While Munich remains the heart of the festivities, cities around the world have embraced the spirit of Oktoberfest, offering their own unique takes on this autumn celebration.

Forgotten Highways & Lost Gas Stations
I. Prelude of Asphalt & Dust There’s something haunting about a two-lane highway that doesn’t quite go anywhere anymore. The paint is sun-faded, the asphalt cracked like an old leather boot, and the weeds creep through with the persistence of time itself. You drive past it on the interstate... your GPS urging you to stay in the fast lane... but your eyes wander. Off to the side, a rusting sign with missing neon tubes still flickers in the evening air: EATS.

A Taste of London…simply fantastic!
There is a show on Recipe.TV called “A Taste of London” hosted by Chef Edward Delling- Williams. It is as the title of the show says the food of London and culture. Being a native of London Edward Delling-Williams on the subject of London and the food. I love to watch a taste of London anytime it’s on. I would even watch reruns of it even if I’ve seen the episode before because it’s so enjoyable. I also like Edward Delling- Williams. He’s a personal host of the show one of my favorite cooking show personalities.

Forgotten Festivals of America
Picture this: You’re driving down a two-lane highway, windows down, static-filled radio playing an old Johnny Cash tune. You pull into a small town you’ve never heard of, expecting gas, maybe a cup of coffee; and instead, you find yourself in the middle of a parade where people are dressed as giant bugs, someone’s deep-frying something suspicious, and the mayor is wearing a sash that says “Slug Queen 2019.”... Welcome, friend. You’ve just stumbled into the true heart of America.

The Top 10 Greatest Wonders to Visit in the U.S.
Everyone’s seen the Grand Canyon. You’ve taken your obligatory Statue of Liberty selfie. Maybe you’ve even yawned your way through Mount Rushmore. But friend, America’s real soul doesn’t live in marble monuments or national parks. No, sir. It’s buried under layers of gravel, neon, duct tape, and a whole lotta heart.

14 Rides at Disneyland That Are Not Worth Riding
One of the biggest parts of planning a trip to the Disney Parks is figuring out how to get the best bang for your buck. The parks aren't cheap and especially as prices rise throughout the world, Disney is just going to keep getting more expensive. This will no doubt lead to guests spending fewer days in the park and being more strategic about their time inside of the park.

5 Cities I'm Thinking About Moving to as Someone Who is Burnt Out in Their 20's
I’m 24 years old and currently living in Charleston, South Carolina. Charleston is often hyped as an amazing city with incredible people. Travel + Leisure even ranked it the #1 city in the U.S. for several years. But this year, it was overtaken by Santa Fe, New Mexico—and honestly, I’m not surprised.
