Everywhere Magazine: Because travel is all around you (win a free subscription!)
Here, in no particular order, is what I love about the new Everywhere Magazine:
- It's created almost exclusively by its readers, who submit their best travel photographs, stories, and articles to the magazine's website.
- Contributors who are published in the magazine receive $100 and a free one-year subscription.
- Just like the title says, the magazine realizes that everywhere is a travel destination-- not just Paris, Buenos Aires, and Tokyo, but Kentucky, Iran, and Latvia. Their stated goal is to help you "discover great new places-- in places you didn't even know had places."
- Back issues are available to download for free here.
- The magazine itself is beautifully put together and features stunning photographs, well-written articles, and a whole section on postcards. The only thing the glossy mag lacks is an ad every other page.
The featured places for the magazine's fourth issue are Barcelona and the Jersey Shore, and the featured themes are national parks and festivals. If you'd like your own content to be considered for the magazine, sign up to be a part of their online community, and read this post on their blog to learn more about submitting.

The little but beautiful place I really like is small but great town in Uruguay called Colonia del Sacramento which I visited last October. It is so old and clean with so much to see and locals are very friendly.

The Ontario shoreline of Lake Superior is AMAZING...and there is no one there! There are canyons, gorges, waterfalls, rivers, beaches, and all kinds of beautiful scenery. Lots of wildlife (I saw two wolves standing next to the highway the last time I was there), and great hiking. If you're ever in northern Michigan, just cross the bridge in Sault Ste. Marie into Canada and go straight north...there's only one highway, you can't miss it!

Every year in phoenix arizona there's a festival. Not just any festival but a Japanese one. It's wonderful to go to and really makes you feel like you were back in Japan, however everyone is nearly speaking english. Regardless it's a lot of fun and always a good getaway for a day, instead of flying out somewhere.

Although St. Patty's has just come and gone, I thought I would mention that here in New Haven, we also have a parade that is sadly shadowed by the larger ones in New York and Boston. This year was the first time I have been in town for the festivities and I had a fabulous time!

the plymouth michigan ice festival, the town and the ice carving festival are both little gems

The Iowa Great Lakes. There are 5 lakes and a beautiful resort area.

A place that was a 'find' for me was Santillana del Mar on the northern coast of Spain, just west of Bilbao. A walled city with cobblestones, great for wondering and not too crowded.

One of our favorite unknowns is the area around Westline, PA - particularly during fall foliage. The beautiful streams, lakes, mountains, and foliage are a perfect inexpensive fall getaway.

Ottawa, Canada - During the winter, the Winterlude festival is a great way to explore Ottawa, with the world's longest skating rink and ice sculptures to boot. In the summer, Ottawa's Byward Market is a beautiful place that is full of life during the day and throughout the night.

Bregenz in Vorarlberg, Austria at Lake Constance. Festival Hall undergoes reconstruction every 2 years. Plus, the new Bond movie will be filmed there next month!
Vorarlberg is an anomaly by itself. Not quite Austria, not quite Switzerland, and not quite Germany. But nice nevertheless.

the niagara grape and wine festival is a great chance to experience many ontario wines and different foods.

In Webster, Massachusetts there is Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg, the longest name for a body of water in the world! Its name has a deep history and there are many local legends about the lake.

Amador County outside of Sacramento... like Napa, but less posh, and cheaper... free wine tasting everywhere!

I recommend Belo Horizonte, Brazil. This gem often is neglected by tourists blinded by Rio. Belo Horizonte is a beautiful city with friendly people, great mountains, great festivals, and great shopping.

The Sundial Bridge spanning the Sacramento River in Redding, CA. This bridge was designed by renowned architect, Santiago Calatrava.

One of my favorite places is North Conway, New Hampshire and the surrounding towns. The number of amazing and accessible waterfalls is astounding. The locals are friendly, the b&bs are cozy, affordable and well-run and, for someone from NJ, it was a way to see nature in all its splendor without having to fly to a distant locale. I can't wait to go back.

I would love to go Everywhere, since I live in the middle of Kansas (nowhere!). Surprisingly, Wichita has a ton of great restaurants and a fantastic zoo.
