"With navigation features, weather reports, and language apps, smartphones have made travel infinitely easier. But such convenience has perhaps made us over-reliant on our devices. When traveling, is being glued to a phone more hindrance than help—does this handy-dandy tool actually distract us from a fuller travel experience and prevent us from getting lost in a new place?

To find out, I ran an experiment during a trip to Italy. I was traveling alone for Thanksgiving with four nights in Rome then one in Milan. The latter would be a whirlwind 24 hours, so I decided to see how well I could actually travel on my own, without digital help, by keeping my phone off for the entire day (hopefully, with tech-free enlightenment arriving somewhere along the way)."

To mark 2021, Pantone chose two near opposites to capture the world's mood in color: Illuminating Yellow and Ultimate Gray, to offer both optimism and steadiness in uncertain times. Now, the company is taking a much less somber approach with the Pantone Color of the Year 2022, called Very Peri, a periwinkle blue meant to inspire confidence and curiosity in the year to come. (If purple sounds familiar, know that the shade isn't too far off from Ultra Violet, a dramatic purple shade that starred as 2018's Color of the Year, which celebrated the non-conformity of icons like Prince and Jimi Hendrix.)

"As the last lights of Inverness, Scotland, disappeared into the gloom of night, I was pouring my second glass of Chianti on board the newly refurbished Caledonian Sleeper train. The wine was one of the essentials I'd packed—along with a toothbrush and a good book—to help me relax in my cabin, which also had been recently revamped. The experience was more akin to a moving hotel than a train, with double beds, room service, and en suite showers."

"“We already have lots of regulars, and it’s only been four months,” Valerio Spadaro Guerra tells me when we meet on a rainy November morning in his shop, Casadora. “I thought it’d take longer to get customers, but it didn’t. The response has really been beyond my expectations. ”

We are in Rome’s Prati, a stately area just north of St. Peter’s Square, and Spadaro Guerra is showing me around the space he and five friends opened last August. Casadora is a pastificio—a pasta-making lab that sells fresh pasta daily, alongside a selection of artisanal and small-batch products like olive oils, sauces, and natural wines."

"Surrounded by bucolic vineyards and rows of olive trees, my wife and I follow truffle hunter Francesco Veltorni and his partner Mery into the Tuscan forest, their Lagotto Romagnolo dogs, Rigel and John Wick, close at our heels.

Francesco, also known as the Tuscany Truffle Hunter, watches his dogs carefully as they investigate the terrain around us, sniffing for black truffles. Rigel jets off to the base of a tree, and her tail stiffens, pointing up—the signal that the dog has found one. Mery runs over to inspect Rigel's work. “Ha trovato! (She found one!)” Mery exclaims from a distance. “Brava, Rigel, brava!” The Lagotto Romagnolo is an obedient breed of truffle-hunters, but if given too much time with their finds, they’ll happily inhale a truffle as a snack. With a flurry of praise and a treat, Rigel is back on the hunt as we smell and touch the newfound treasure, reveling in its rarity."

The coast of Croatia gets all the love — and though I was born and raised in the country, even I set my gaze on the Adriatic Sea whenever I visit. You can't deny the beauty of hotspots like Dubrovnik and Split, but these can also come with crowds, stressed-out service, and little sense of discovery — especially during the peak summer season.

Thankfully, Croatia has more than 1,200 islands you can escape to, as well as coastal towns that remain off the radar, plus a majestic interior that spans idyllic pastoral landscapes and mighty mountains where wildlife roams.
