Maine is one of the first states I explored as a kid, taking several bus tours there with my mother, and it's one of the ones I'm most excited to return to as I tour the Northeast. It has astonishing natural sites, including the world-famous Acadia National Park. However, I find the best home base for a trip to Maine is the state's largest city, Portland.

Kentucky bourbon. Kentucky barbecue. Kentucky music. So many of our favorite things have roots deep in the Blue Grass, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t influenced by other states. One shining example is New York-style pizza, a simple yet iconic dish that needs no improvements. Just ask anyone who’s visited Louisville’s New York Pizza Company, an authentic slice of NY right here in Kentucky. New York Pizza Company is a locally-owned Louisville staple.

West Virginians are no strangers to great pizza. Whether you're craving authentic Italian pies or New York-style, you'll find the perfect slice here in the Mountain State. But if you're looking for something different and wonderfully unexpected, we'd advise a trip to Lefty's Place in Morgantown. This neighborhood restaurant specializes in Detroit-style pizzas, which, if you've never tried, deserve a top spot on your dining bucket list.

At first glance, Georgia and New York may not have a lot in common. But if you know where to look for it, you'll find an authentic slice of the Empire State hiding in Atlanta. Glide Pizza has roots in Brooklyn; owner Rob Birdsong spent over a decade visiting New York's iconic slice shops before returning to his home state to raise a family. He brought back his passion for New York slices with him, ultimately creating his own shop that would deliver the quick convenience of this big-city staple.

For busy young families like mine, day trips are a fantastic way to go on an adventure. We still see incredible attractions but avoid the trouble of packing and the time investment of a multi-day getaway. Day trips are also often easy on the wallet; you don’t have to pay for overnight accommodation. Louisville is an excellent starting point for a day trip. Check out our list of five fantastic day trips from Louisville, Kentucky.

Living in or around Miami, Florida, sometimes feels like a fever dream. For those of us who grew up here, we've always understood what a magical and alluring city it is. We know what it's like to grab a Cuban coffee to get us through the day or which beach to go to to avoid the crowds. And while Miami is often the destination for many, sometimes it's nice to get outside the city and explore more.

Aside from New Jersey and my second home, New York, Pennsylvania is the state I spend the most time in. It's the largest state in the region, home to several major cities, and might just be one of the best food states in the country thanks to its diversity and large Amish population. As an amusement park fan, I believe it's also one of the best coaster states in the country—certainly the best in the region.

I know this is the time of year when everyone flocks down to the Gulf to soak up some sun, but hear me out. I would much prefer to kick back and relax in a lakefront vacation rental in northern Mississippi. This particular rental puts you smack dab in the middle of two of my favorite state parks in Mississippi, and it’s an ideal destination for nature lovers looking to get outside and hit the trails. Iuka is a small city in Tishomingo County that’s home to fewer than 5,000 residents.

Can one person affect positive change? When it comes to sustainable living, it's easy to wonder if the actions of one person really can make a difference. I often question whether my efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle amount to much of a payoff. However, after talking to Leslie Delgado, I'm convinced every action matters.

While Oklahoma has no bonafide national parks, it has several sites managed by the National Park Service. Chickasaw National Recreation Area is arguably the most famous of them all, nestled in the foothills of the Arbuckle Mountains and overflowing with natural beauty. Next time you visit the park, I found the perfect Airbnb to serve as your base camp.
