Your posts always make me laugh. (Is New York City a cult?) I try to avoid writing about "undiscovered gems" not only because I hate the overuse in travel writing of the word "gems." But also hasn't every spot on earth been "discovered" in some sense? Miss writing for you at The Daily Beast.
I much prefer to reveal my favorites/recs through long form storytelling and love it when people pick up their own travel inspiration through them. Though sadly more folks will pay for my paywalled lists than the 2,000 words on a family run seafood restaurant in Iceland. It doesn't really change much, I still love the former, though I'm very aware of the market incentives!
This was a good one ❤️
After this I think I can finally show you my little havens x

Aw thank you and miss working together, too!
