One Place We Love
We just got back from Paws Up Montana, where we stayed in a modern tree house, rounded up cattle on horseback, met the resident beefalo (that’s a buffalo/cow hybrid) and learned an elevated new approach to s’mores, among other activities that convinced us we should probably move to a ranch. Stay tuned for some fun content tied to America’s 250th anniversary.
One Story We Love
Speaking of romanticizing our lives as travel writers, we had to share this hot take on holiday romance by BATW student Acacia Gabriel for Lonely Planet.
See you in class,
