Exploring Off-the-Beaten-Path U.S. Destinations: A Traveler’s Guide
Tumblr media
When most people think of travel in the U.S., their minds immediately jump to New York City, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas. But if you're a traveler seeking unique experiences and hidden gems away from the usual tourist crowds, the U.S. has a treasure trove of lesser-known destinations waiting to be explored. These off-the-beaten-path locations offer a perfect blend of natural beauty, rich history, and local culture that will make your trip memorable. Let’s dive into some underrated destinations across the U.S. that you won’t want to miss.
1. Marfa, Texas
Tucked away in the West Texas desert, Marfa is a quirky, artsy town with a fascinating mix of small-town charm and avant-garde art installations. Known for the famous Marfa Lights—a mysterious, unexplainable light phenomenon—and large-scale art installations by artists like Donald Judd, Marfa is a hidden gem that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. Visit the iconic Prada Marfa art installation, explore local galleries, and soak in the eerie beauty of the desert at sunset.
2. Asheville, North Carolina
Tumblr media
Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville is a haven for nature lovers and foodies alike. With its stunning mountain views, hiking trails, and vibrant arts scene, Asheville offers an authentic, laid-back experience. Wander through the Biltmore Estate, the largest privately-owned house in the U.S., or enjoy craft beer at one of the city’s many breweries. Asheville’s farm-to-table dining scene is one of the best in the country, offering fresh, locally-sourced dishes that reflect the flavors of the region.
3. St. Louis, Missouri
Often overlooked in favor of larger Midwestern cities, St. Louis is a city rich in history, culture, and delicious cuisine. The iconic Gateway Arch is just the start. Explore the city's thriving music scene, especially its roots in jazz and blues, and indulge in local favorites like St. Louis-style BBQ and the famous gooey butter cake. Take a walk through Forest Park, home to free museums and outdoor spaces larger than New York’s Central Park, or visit the stunning Missouri Botanical Garden.
4. Mendocino, California
Tumblr media
While much of California’s coastline is well-traveled, Mendocino remains a quiet, picturesque escape. Located north of San Francisco, this coastal town offers breathtaking views of rugged cliffs and the Pacific Ocean. Explore scenic hiking trails, visit local vineyards, and enjoy fresh seafood in cozy coastal restaurants. Mendocino’s peaceful atmosphere is perfect for those looking to escape into nature, with beautiful spots like Russian Gulch State Park and the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse.
5. Tulsa, Oklahoma
Tulsa, often overshadowed by bigger cities, is a hidden gem in the Midwest. Rich in art deco architecture and Southern hospitality, this city offers a surprising amount of culture and history. Visit the Philbrook Museum of Art, housed in an Italian Renaissance-style villa, or explore the revitalized Greenwood District, known for its history as Black Wall Street. Tulsa’s culinary scene is blossoming with farm-to-table restaurants, and its vibrant downtown area is home to local shops, cafes, and live music venues.
6. Sedona, Arizona
Tumblr media
While the Grand Canyon draws in millions of tourists each year, nearby Sedona is an equally stunning yet quieter alternative. Known for its red rock formations, spiritual vortexes, and thriving arts community, Sedona offers travelers a unique mix of natural beauty and holistic experiences. Whether you’re hiking through the Coconino National Forest or meditating at one of the city’s famous energy vortexes, Sedona is a place that nourishes both the body and soul.
7. Hotel Experiences that Add to the Journey
While exploring these hidden U.S. gems, your accommodations play a huge role in making the trip truly memorable. With b0arding.com, you can easily find hotels that match the local vibe of each destination.

The way handsome Bajie jumpscare shook the soul out of me.
The mirror flew to him and I thought oh the mirror is going to shock him into consciousness isn't it?
Jokes on me I was the one getting shocked.
Well yes of course a person from the celestial court would naturally be good-looking, but I didn't expect the dev to make Bajie's Marshal Tianpeng form to be THAT(???) beautiful.
And his face model actor 胡涛 (Hu Tao) cosplaying as the character good LAWD🙏

Just grooming headcanons and how would DO/SW react to reader busting out a whole ass skincare/haircare routine with tons of nice smelling products, shampoos, oils and hair masks
monke getting pampered tonight!!!
Tumblr media
Okay! So I have grooming thoughts/HC and I’ll maybe get a whole post together at some point for it, but for now I wanna focus on this particular scenario of modern reader wanting to pamper him.
So, I feel like they would actually react the same way about this, mainly because they both grew up in the same environment and are both warriors etc. That being said I do think there will be a few differences and I’ll list them out.
Before I begin, I want to preface that I think if would be funny if they BOTH would be very against/dont wanna do it at first (I’ll explain why- this is in regards to the skincar/haircare/oils etc not general grooming).
I think SW out of the two would be easier to convince, not right away, but I do think hed eventually give in quicker than DO. I also think SW would seek you out after he realized how much he liked it and would demand his pampering. DO would be more subtle about it and let himself get a little extra messy so you offer it. DO is more on the indifferent side, thinking it’s pointless where as SW thinks that but also sees it as ‘fancy’ and too ‘soft’.
- [ ] You would think he’d jump at the chance to be groomed and have your hands running through his fur? Generally yes. But this? No.
- [ ] Absolutely Refuses when you first bring it up. Curls his lip and wrinkles his nose and everything.
- [ ] Thinks it’s a waste. Of. Time.
- [ ] He would be just fine with a wash and scrub in the river/waterfall, doesnt need whatever the hell that is.
- [ ] Doesnt like how stuff feels on his fur (even if it’s gonna be washed off) - he has yet to experience the joy of modern products making his fur extra soft though.
- [ ] He’s gonna argue that for him, someone who regularly gets into fights and rolls around getting into shit and is always getting filthy for one reason or another, wasting all that stuff is useless. (Not that hes dirty, he washes all the time)
- [ ] The scents of the products would irritate his sensitive nose so before you ask again you’d have to find stuff that he could deal with.
- [ ] Grooming is important in his culture so he genuinely loves grooming and being groomed by you, BUT he drawls the line at this fancy frou-frou modern shit. He is a strong, independent warrior and does NOT need to smell like a flower (disregarding how often he rolls in them when playing with monkey cubs).
- [ ] As much as he grew up being used to grooming and it being a bonding thing, it’s not something he is used to in regards of “being taken care of”. It was more of a social thing so you wanting to take care of him makes him on edge.
- [ ] If you keep at it though eventually he will give in, just the once (he thinks). Especially when you show him the products before hand and they dont smell AS bad.
- [ ] He’s gonna pout and sigh dramatically through the first bit of it. Trying to keep up a ‘I’m only doing this for you, you owe me’ facade.
- [ ] But he very quickly realizes that he freaking adores this!
- [ ] The low lighting, soft smells, warm fuzzy atmosphere, being the focus of your attention for an extended period of time?
- [ ] You rinsing his fur? Slowly massaging in the soaps and scraping your nails gently over his skin? The hot warm water coupled with you rubbing the knots out of his sore muscles? Drying him with gentle towel rubs and light blow drying so he’s nice and soft and fluffy? Rubbing oil or lotion on the fur less patches of his so his skin is hydrated and soft? You just touching him for so damn long tenderly, letting him lean back against your chest when in the tub or letting him lay across your lap as you blow dry his back, or giving him a real massage after while he just lies there feeling like a fucking cloud? Even with the damn moist thing you put on his face.
- [ ] He is in fucking LOVE and heaven. THIS is the real heaven, right here. You have one giant puddle of a monkey and you’ve done it now.
- [ ] He’s going to be letting out so many sighs and light grunts/groans of innocent pleasure. His mind will be quiet and he will just bask in the attention you’ve given him.
- [ ] Very addicted to it although it wont happen SUPER often. (Although you made him boujee about his soap now so this is your fault)
- [ ] SWK - again will from here on DEMAND his pamperings when he deems it time. DO - will be more subtle about it, purposely letting himself get messy and take bare minimum washes so you get fed up with how disheveled his fur is and ‘make’ him sit for you for a night of pampering time.
- [ ] He is gonna be smug as fuck though to other monkeys / people with his glossy soft fur and beautiful shining soft skin. SWK would strut like a peacock and DO would be a bit more subtle about it but would still show off.
- [ ] Definitely WILL return the favor. Enjoys it very much in fact, again it’s a social thing/bonding thing, plus he gets to make you feel special too/has his hands on you for extended periods of time.
Side note: I feel like since this is more of a pamper the monkey thing spicy time would be on a low simmer. But if it leads to it, it would happen AFTER everything is said and done. Not that he wouldn’t get you worked up or you him, slick hands are traveling all over each others bodies after all (sometimes deliberately). But I think it would be tender and slow, just enjoying the warm soft gooey atmosphere you two have created for the night.

the thrill ride of love scene in ep5 when percy explained to annabeth they barely dodged his death at the arch had to hurt. but it's hurts even more when you realize that annabeth has already read the great prophecy at this point. and she knew the consequences of befriending the kid of the big three. and she thinks she's about to pay for it. until he survives and luke rebels and she understands the fates have something much worse in store for her.

[OLD ART ALERT] A COLLECTION OF SCENES FROM THE GILLIONS CATSCRATCH ARC THAT BROUGHT ME GREAT JOY. i love fishy chips especially when its just gillion being delirious and violent and hostile
#jrwi fanart#jrwi show#jrwi riptide#jrwi riptide spoilers#JUST NOTICED A MILLION MISTAKES FUUUUUUUUCK BUT WWHATEVERRRRR IF I STARE AT THIS ANYMORE IM GONNA HHUURRRLLL#SO I REALLY LIKE FISH AND CHIPS RIGHT. IVE BEEN IN LOVE W THE SHIP EVER SINCE THAT NAT 20 KISS#BUT I THINK I SHIP IT WRONG. OR LIKE. I AM CORRECT BUT EVERYONE SHIPS THEM DIFFERENTLY#THE FISH N CHIPS I SEE EVERYWHERE ELSE IS SO FLOWERY AND SWEET AND ROMANTIC. AND THATS NICE! THAT STUFFS NEAT#but gillion and chip would NEVERRRR enter anything similar to a romantic relationship. chips too damaged and gillions too uninterested#I LIKE MY FISH N CHIPS ONE SIDED AS FUCK#bc 2 gillion chip is his best friend in the whole wide world but hes also kinduvagross little man that took him a MINUTE to really warm up2#but to CHIP gillion is this powerful and gorgeous and heroic paragon of destiny and his best friend in the whole world who will#bring about the eschaton. 'i didnt believe in destiny until i met you' until i met a champion radiating with a light thatll alter the world#OHH REMEMBER THE FIRST ICE ARENA?he was so mad.still probably shaking from the ordeal.NEVER had he felt true divine radiance CLEAVE through#his SOUL like that.do you remember that moment in the forest w the bugs. an alien from the ocean; lacerating the land w lightning#when the realization flickered in chip for a moment.that the thing standing before him was more powerful than he could ever fathom#remember when grizz mentioned that the nat20 kiss was the 'best kiss chip ever experienced'. that has nothing to do w this. where was i.#LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT. BUT HEY. I THINK at the beginning chip absolutely knew that gill was smth grand n powerful n scary#when gillion revealed what exactly the prophecy was;chip got defensive and mad.sure he was sleep deprived but OOH. HES SCARED!#he believes gillion too! he believes that his destiny is to eradicate either the sea or land and that scares him!#but then he gets past it bc ultimately he trusts his bestfriend gillion so so much. he fuckin loves this dude.#he would throw himself intothe path of fire for this dude. he would boat across the ocean for this dude.he would build arenas for this dude#even if this dude will end half the world.even if this dude wields the power and the obligation to eradicate him at any second.#even if this dude is going to throw himself into harms way for his own comrades.even if this dude is just going to sacrifice himself.#one way or another one shall die for the other.these self-sacrificial bastards click so well with eachother!!#chip believes his body is best used to pave roads and gill believes his body is destined to pave prosperity.WHATEVER!!#i really love their dynamic!! they care for eachother so much!in MY heart tho. the icing on the cake here is the fantasy that chip is#just a bit more In Love w gillion than he realizes. like this powerful fish guy is HOT and PRETTY and KIND and FUNNY and LOYAL and STRONG#but gillion would never rly feel that same sort of attraction towards chip. its just not rly his thing. aroace as fuck man.#thats how it is in MY little heart atleast. and i sit here and play w my touys in my brain n i explore my silly lil one sided fish y chips.

It was the first time for me , as if loving someone was decided, you came into my heart. You brought me back to life after a long pause. If I close my eyes, will I be able to see you? I'm scared now, I 'm afraid that one day you will disappear.
