Helsinki Finland Wellness Insider Guides by Johnny Motley May 9, 2025 “Both of my parents were born in a sauna,” my friend Jukka told me as he ladled water over the red-hot rocks. Steam hissed and curled through the wooden chamber. “Traditionally, we also held funerals in saunas — so for a Finn, life began and ended in a sauna.” I’ve been a devotee of sauna therapy since my days as a Division I college wrestler, when my Russian coach took my teammates and me to saunas on recovery days. I came...

Dallas-Fort Worth Epic Stays by Keven Gungor May 2, 2025 When I was a kid, my Turkish grandmother referenced the ‘80s soap opera Dallas anytime she talked about the mystique of American culture, particularly American wealth and Texan folklore — down to cowboys and oil heirs. I’ve never seen the show, but something tells me it was an accurate depiction because every time I step foot in Dallas, I smell not oil itself but oil (read: old) money. There’s an air of luxury in Dallas, and my recent...
