When I discovered a box of old letters in my childhood home, I took a journey into the lost art of letter-writing.


I traveled to Norway to discover a country in the midst of transformation. Long a destination for adventurers and nature lovers, Norway is emerging as an unlikely hot spot for modern luxury, thanks to the debuts of five-star properties, Michelin-starred restaurants, and a cultural boom in its cutting-edge capital, Oslo.


Charged with the crucial task of preserving our past, museums must now navigate the future. I explored how several cultural and artistic institutions are turning to virtual reality, mobile apps, and interactive experiences to keep tech-savvy visitors engaged.


An exciting cultural partnership has evolved alongside the two cities' storied rivalry, as the arts offer a unique example of the promising potential for collaboration across state lines.
