]]> Travel writer and social media manager Kelly Lack is always up for a good adventure. Based in San Francisco, her work has appeared in publications like Martha Stewart Weddings, Travel + Leisure, and AFAR, and her clients include brands like Zappos, Conde Nast Traveler, and One Kings Lane.

Aside from writing, she’s also amassed an impressive following on Instagram, where she shares her experiences with her fans. “When I’m traveling, I go nuts trying to capture it all from sweeping scenic shots to quiet moments in markets to the comings and goings of locals,” she admitted once in an interview with Lonny. 

But with travel being more or less impossible these past months, Lack stays close to home. In a piece she wrote for Harper’s BAZAAR, she sums up the 88 things to do and see in San Francisco. Her recommendations include spending the afternoon at Mission Dolores Park (which she calls “the ultimate hipster hang”), and experiencing the Camera Obscura in the shadow of the Cliff House.

“I love an adventure,” says Lack, “I get bored when standing still. I also love how [traveling] smashes the pre-conceived notions you have about the world, even when you don’t realize you have them! We’re all human, trying to get by and struggling with and finding joy in the same things—only in different settings.”

Make sure you follow her lead when visiting California (or elsewhere).

]]> Flying can be a stressful experience. You’re usually on a tight schedule, meaning one thing going wrong can throw off the entire journey; you spend hours in a cramped space full of strangers, and you’re far from home. Even the most experienced travelers feel exhausted at the end of a long flight. The San Francisco International Airport has found the perfect solution to this problem: Meet the Wag Brigade.

The Wag Brigade consists of 22 lovely dogs and one therapy pigs with one mission: to greet the passengers coming through the airport, provide support and comfort, and relieve their stress.

This unique program is a special collaboration between San Francisco International Airport and the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The idea is to help passengers manage the stress involved in air travel and to introduce the public to dogs that are certified by the Animal Assisted Therapy Program. The dogs, who are social media stars on their own account, put their skills to good use and enjoy spending time with people, and travelers from all over the world get a better, easier experience at the airport. It’s a win-win situation! Scroll down to see some of the Wag Brigade’s soldiers in action.
