I travel for the Scenery

Best Day Ever: Glacier National Park

GLACIER, Montana – Sit back in one of the rockers in the main lobby and crack open the paper in front of the perennially blazing fireplace, which is the size of a small dance floor. 

Fathom Questionnaire: Veronique Lievre

The hotelier and designer behind Been Seen, one of our 24 best travel blogs, talk about dogfish, oysters, flea markets — and finding the interesting everywhere she goes.

Just Back From: The High Sierras

YOSEMITE, California – I found an abandoned cabin with chairs on the patio in the middle of the countryside with no trail leading to it. It looked like something left over from a movie set.

To Market on the Spice Road

The smell of baking bread fills the air and the scent of spices tickle the nose. Alleys twist and turn in every direction to picturesque mosques and tucked away khans. A reader story.

Eye Candy: Behold the Icebergs

ANTARCTICA – We stand on the deck, mesmerized, as a series of icebergs, each larger than our ship, float by as if on parade.

Prehistoric Beasts and Prankster Sheep

BORREGO SPRINGS, California – A mini Marfa, a desert safari, lots of mischievous wildlife. Borrego Springs is a surreal alternative to its bourgeois neighbor, Palm Springs.

The Best View in Sydney

SYDNEY – Although harmless, the garden's resident fruit bats made their presence known throughout the movie by occasionally flying in front of the screen or letting out a shrill squeal.
