When I visited the Galápagos Islands, I assumed I’d be able to use credit cards and easily get cash.
Unfortunately, ATM fees and credit-card charges were quite high on the islands.
Next time, I’ll bring more cash and spend more time in the Galápagos to help my money go further.

That’s why purse hooks have become one of the most underrated and genuinely useful accessories forfrequent fliers, city travelers, and all in-the-know folks in between.

When I meet Patrick Lee, director of art behemothFrieze Seoul, the first café he proposes we try has vanished, its façade demolished. “This café was just here,” he says, disoriented but not at all surprised. “It was here the last time I was on this street. You see, this is what happens in Seoul.” In the city’s vibrant historical center,hanoks—the traditional curved-roof wood houses that give Seoul its distinctive heart-stopping skyline—are jammed next to sleek art galleries, fashionable glasses shops, and pop-up boutiques. And my God, the cafés. How to convey the love for coffee in this high-octane, thrilling city of late-night barbershops and 4 a.m. Tuesday karaoke? Seoul bursts with, at some estimates, more than 15,000 cafés, many of them freshly opened, and the number keeps escalating.

It’s difficult, if not impossible, to describe St. Louis to the uninitiated without discussing our dining scene—this city is one ofthe best places to eatin the entire country, trust me.

Being born and raised in St. Louis makes it easy to take some things for granted—our commitment to the arts has produced world-renowned cultural destinations and made them accessible to the masses, and we also remain passionate supporters of our regional sports. When you live here, this is standard rather than exceptional. The one thing I never take for granted, though, is the food. Traveling tends to bring this feeling into sharper focus, making it clear that St. Louis rivals the quality and diversity of larger markets but with a decidedly small-town feel that eliminates clutter. You don’t need to dig to find good restaurants here: they exist on every corner and at every price point, and are strongly supported by the neighborhoods they inhabit.
