I mostly watch channels that feel practical, not just glossy highlight reels. Wolters World is a regular for me because he talks about cultural mistakes and annoyances tourists actually run into, not just the pretty stuff. Indigo Traveller is another good one—he goes to places people usually avoid and shows them in a calm, respectful way, which feels more honest. I also like Rick Steves’ older clips; they’re slower paced but still useful if you actually plan to visit somewhere.

When I’m saving clips or background audio from travel videos for offline listening, I’ve used LINK a couple of times. It’s handy if you want just the narration or local sounds without the full video.

For me it lasted about a week in the fridge if it was sealed well. After that the texture starts changing. Freezing works, but don’t thaw it in the microwave because it turns mushy. Best way is overnight in the fridge or under cold running water.

I’ve got a couple issues piling up: leaky outdoor spigot, loose kitchen faucet, and possibly a small blockage in one of the bathroom drains. I’m hoping to find someone fair and responsive. I’ve heard good things about AnytimePlumbing, has anyone here used them before or have other solid recommendations?

Near Baton Rouge, try Kisatchie, Tunica Hills, or Atchafalaya for primitive camping. Ozarks for hills.

Next year, Utah’s best for solo backcountry; Montana/Dakotas need prep

Aruba: Eagle Beach is a must, super chill vibes. For something different, check out the Arikok National Park, the landscape is unreal.
Curacao: Willemstad is super colorful and cool to walk around. Hit up Mambo Beach for some action, or Jan Thiel if you want something more laid-back.
Bonaire: With only 6 hours, maybe just chill in Kralendijk, grab some food, and soak in the atmosphere. Or head to Te Amo Beach, it's close to the airport and pretty sweet.

Check out Moorea Beach Club at Mandalay Bay. It's topless-optional and usually has a more relaxed vibe.
Another option could be Liquid Pool Lounge at Aria. It's smaller and more intimate than some of the bigger pool parties.
