About Rebekah Jacob
I am based in Charleston, and I love experiencing and seeing the world in new ways through art and culture. Here, expect some ideas on cultural experiences, yoga spots, and cafes suitable to meet a new friend or fellow traveler, to journal and to get a caffeine fix. Not to mention some tips about travel, sometimes in a foreign, non-English speaking land with only a backpack and passport in hand. I hope this blog explores the transformative power of travel and the beautiful tension between belonging and wandering—between the roots that ground us and the wings that carry us toward new discoveries.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming & Yellowstone
This spot on the planet is stunning and something to see. The town of Jackson is magical and offers so many cultural experiences in only a week’s time. Upon departure, follow the rules and don’t check any bear spray or rifles. Make sure you get final glimpse of wildlife art and surrounding scape. And pack a journal filled with notes of what you didn’t see - your first trip here is just a start. Perhaps the only better way to experience all of it - Yellowstone and Jackson Hole - would be a helicopter ride with a 360 degree view. That experience is certainly not in the cards right now, but I am also remembering it is free to dream…

Park City, Utah
Park City is the perfect mountain town. Combining its artistic vibe, culinary scene and a deep appreciation and quick access to the outdoors, Park City strikes a balance between luxury and comfort for any traveler. Whatever your daily activity may be, can easily stroll Park City's Historic Main Street for great shopping and top-notch culinary spots. Offerings for outdoor recreation are accessible, ubiquitous and diverse. The winter slopes were once featured in the Olympics, and in summer the mountains (and nearby state parks and reservoirs) transform into a hiking, mountain biking, fishing and camping mecca.
