Few things in life are more exhilarating than clicking the “book now” button for a long-anticipated vacation. It’s basically the proof that Italy (or the Grand Canyon or Wine country) actually does exist, and now, you have tangible proof of your romantic intentions with this place. Then the details barrel in, evaporating the languid daydream. Where to eat and sleep? Is renting a car or taking public transportation better or cheaper?

World Water Day and Earth Day make us rethink our efforts to preserve the ocean and to renew our gratitude to the Earth.

"Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world." - Gustave Flaubert Most of us know and crave the benefits of travel. Adventure, the thrill of the unknown, the new smells, the different sounds, the way of life that is so opposite than our "normal": they stretch us and teach us more about ourselves and this great big world than we ever would learn from staying inside our comfort zone. Trail mix in-hand is a necessity for any type of ride! Don't forget to tag your weekend adventures with #EatAllgood or #LiveAllgood to be featured on our Instagram.
