Get Out There: Bentonville, Arkansas — The utopian city Walmart built (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Walt Disney built a fictional, three-quarter scale version of America in California called “Main Street” to enshrine the past with forced perspective. Sam Walton — founder of the world’s biggest retailer — built a real-life, livable utopian city in Arkansas called Bentonville to welcome the future. Although it’s home to just 60,000 people (about a third of which work for Walmart), this unreal Ozark outpost offers public works that rival some of the America’s greatest cities, I kid you not. Throu
Get Out There: Venice for a day (should have stayed four) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are cities you visit. And there are cities that completely change your understanding of what a city can be. Technically, it’s in Italy. Spiritually, it feels like its own country. Built on more than 100 small, stilt-standing islands connected by over 400 bridges, Venice was a powerful maritime republic long before it joined Italy. That independence still lingers in the air, atmosphere, and definitely canals. The architecture is unmistakably Renaissance, yet everywhere you look are hints of
Get Out There: Worth it? I traveled 5,000 miles to see ancient “standing stones” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Located about a two hours drive west of London, Stonehenge is one of the most famous — if not top 10 most recognizable — landmarks in the world. At nearly 5,000 years old, the prehistoric 100 foot diameter Stone Circle obviously stands the test of time. But will the monolithic monument hold your attention for the suggested 2-3 hours of visiting time, plus the 4-5 hour roundtrip commute from London? To find out, I flew nearly five thousand miles from my home in Provo to London this summer. After
Get Out There: Forget 5-star dining: Why foreign grocery stores are awesome (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I don’t believe in traveling like locals. If I did that, I’d commute to work on vacation, stay-in most nights, and probably look at my phone as much as I do at home. Who wants that? But there are several things locals get right about their own communities–food chief among them. For example, locals don’t eat at overpriced “authentic” restaurants. Heck, they don’t even eat out all that often for fear of bankrupting their monthly budget and health. What do they do instead? They mostly eat from groc
Get Out There: After 25 years, the Grand America Hotel still enriches Utah (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve stayed at The Grand America hotel nearly a dozen times over the years, and I have a confession: it still gets me. I walk through the front doors, step into that magnificent lobby, and for a brief moment I feel richer than I actually am. Maybe it’s the Italian marble underfoot. Maybe it’s the Murano glass chandeliers gleaming overhead. Maybe it’s the quiet confidence of a place that knows exactly what it wants to be. Whatever the reason, The Grand America has a rare ability to make an ordina
