    Atlanta

    Atlanta is more than a layover or a quick weekend stop. It’s a city of completely different neighborhoods, great food, museums, green spaces, markets, breweries and plenty to do. Since Atlanta is my home area, these are the places and experiences I’d actually recommend when you’re visiting.

    I spent about two weeks in Helsinki and loved getting to experience the city at a slower pace. Helsinki is incredibly walkable, full of beautiful architecture, parks, cozy cafés and unique experiences. I visited during fall, and the changing leaves made exploring the city even better.

    San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

    San Pedro de Atacama

    San Pedro de Atacama felt genuinely magical. I spent five days using this tiny desert town as my base for exploring the Atacama Desert — Mars-like rock formations, colorful lagoons, flamingos, salt flats, steaming geysers high in the Andes and seemingly endless stars once the sun goes down.
