New Pieces for Travel + Leisure and AARP

Last summer, my neighbors Marianna and Sándor Subert embarked on a cross-country road trip with an altruistic twist. After driving their 2006 Volvo S40 from Virginia to California, they ended their two-week trek by donating the car to Goodwill in San Francisco. I wrote about their experience in a recent piece for Travel + Leisure.

I’ve also written a variety of new pieces for AARP, including stories on America’s newest national park, New River Gorge in West Virginia; ways to explore Alaska without taking a cruise; and how to get help despite a shortage of therapists.
