The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is the greatest bridge in the world. It takes between 30 and forty minutes to get across, depending on the weather. That doesn’t sound like much, but after a while it feels like you are driving across the ocean.
Every time I cross it I feel brand new.

nothing has ever been more about the journey than the destination. Blasting music, talking about anything and everything, pulling over for random landmarks and dinner at Waffle House.
Give me the entire world through a car window as long as somebody else is driving.

I love windscreen time. It’s therpeutic. I live on a farm in ohio but do a lot of work in New York.Sometimes I’ll drive. I listen to books. I treat myself to a two cheeseburger meal at McDonald’s.I have a little air cooled 911 and planning a 2500 mile road trip in it to a friends wedding in July. There’s something about bonding with a machine that I love. I love the smell of oil and gas and manually rowing through gears on beautiful byways. Stress drops away and it’s meditative for me.

This is something that I started doing last year and they are now fundamentally important to me.
A dessert walk is an after dinner stroll you take ideally during sunset. You walk to a grocery store and buy a sweet treat or piece of fruit and a fun beverage. For me usually a peach and a kombucha. You walk for a bit as the sun sets and return when your treats are consumed.
A delicious end to your evening that helps you digest.

This is something my boyfriend and I have been doing regularly for almost a year. We pick an obscure or unsuspecting destination and set off with a few snacks and the necessary supplies for the chosen location.
A lot of times we start with an entry from Atlas Obscura or just poke around on Google maps until we find something that sparks our interest. Past gems include Centralia, Washington, Eugene, Oregon, the Monroe Reptile Zoo, various religious shrines, and a large and poorly rendered statue of Paul Bunyon.
A good Lovers Trip lasts a weekend, but in truth a day trip does just fine too. It’s fun to find romance in the run-down truck stops, swimming holes, and hole-in-the-wall diners with someone you‘re crazy about.

Streaming services are cooked. Sure, you can find what you want, but you rarely get what you NEED!
And what you need is an ambient show in Bali spicing up your eardrums in the morning. That, and all the other magic gracing the airwaves over at NTS every day. Discover something new and get suuuuucked on into a rabbit hole of niche, hard to find freaky shit!
