If you're into llama trekking Montana is the place to be.

With soulful, chocolate brown eyes, silky soft hair, and a passion for food, nature, and daydreaming, Raffi sounds like the perfect man. And I can certainly attest to the fact that he is! Furthermore, legends about handsome, strong, capable Montana ranch men are indeed true... provided that you don't need all said men to actually be human. Raffi, after all, is a llama. Yes, you read that correctly. A llama! And a devilishly handsome one at that. We spent one blissful day together, sharing our hopes and dreams as we hiked up the side of a mountain. But I know that it's only a matter of time before another girl catches his eye. After all, if you're into llama trekking, Montana is the best place to be! Find out why this is one of the most memorable micro-adventures I've undertaken.

Should You Ever Go Barefoot On A Plane?

Confession time: I did, once. And I have no regrets!

I have a confession to make. A deep, dark, shameful confession.

I once went barefoot on an airplane!

I was flying from Bangkok to Dubai and, thanks to the heat, I hadn’t thought to change out of my Birkenstock sandals and into my usual flying uniform of sneakers and compression socks. Perhaps that heat affected me in more ways than one and I had a headache all flight. Thankfully, my husband and I were the only people in our bank of three seats and I was able to pitifully curl up, put my head in his lap, and my bare feet were everywhere, pushing against the wall, curled up against the seat belt mechanism, dangling on the floor. Not my finest hour.

Thus, when I saw comedian Andy Richter’s viral tweet about a man who stretched out his legs and put his bare feet against the front wall - to the disgust of everyone around him - I felt a split-second moment of sympathy for the shoeless slob.
