Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Cuyahoga Valley National Park Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio is the only national park in the state. It’s a unique experience. Many privately owned homes and properties are peppered throughout the area. However, the train came first and the town was built up around it. When the area was designated a national park in 2000, so when the national park declared boundaries it had to work around the privately own land and buildings giving it a strange structure. The best way to experience the park is to take a train tour. It also has over 125 miles of hiking trails. Directions Address:6947 Riverview RoadPeninsula, OH 44264(41° 15’45.3″ N) (81°…

Goodbye Anthony Bourdain: 1956-2018
Anthony Bourdain wrote in one of his books about the loneliness that travelers feel. That the more you see of the world the harder it is to come home. And I instantly understood what he meant. I don’t think it’s loneliness we travelers feel but a sense that no matter where you are you don’t belong. And as much as you love being home you can’t stay. You find a new place and for a while it’ll feel right. You’ll think this fits. You’ll think you fit. That is until it doesn’t and you don’t. Everywhere you visit you fall in love and you can see yourself living there, belonging…
