When vaccines first became available, the first thing I did was reschedule last summer’s canceled trips—and add a few new ones to the mix.

We have curated a thoughtful mix of summer adventures that offer insight both on far-flung locales and destinations closer to home. If you love a good road trip (and you also love to experience local cuisine), turn to page 60 for our “Foodie Road Trip.” In this fun, informative package, you’ll discover our state’s hottest culinary stops and learn where to get the best key lime pie, find neighborhood favorites, dine with a view of the sunset,…

Photographer Francesca Coviello Dunham of Coviello Photo is based in Delray Beach but lives out of her 26-foot 1962 Airstream Overlander when traveling to shoot weddings and engagements. She and her husband renovated Sterling with the help of local vendors before embarking on her maiden voyage: a 16,500-mile cross-country adventure. “Transitioning from a big house to under 200 square feet was no easy feat,” Dunham admits. “But having built-in creature comforts made us always feel at home on the road.” To the many young professionals embracing nomadic lifestyles, Dunham recommends investing in little luxuries to make it work. “We made the bed a priority and splurged on a custom latex mattress,” she says. They keep several sets of organic sheets on hand to stay fresh between laundry days, maximized kitchen…

We all know how important diet is to overall health, but the power of food extends to beauty, too. What we eat plays a huge role in the appearance of our skin—its youthfulness and elasticity (or lack thereof). Beauty may come from within, but sometimes our body displays external cues to indicate our health. I consider the skin a map that outlines what’s going on inside the body. Oftentimes, the health of our gut is written on our skin, almost as a warning sign. Whether these signals show up as a breakout, dehydrated and dry skin, or a condition like eczema or rosacea caused by gut dysbiosis, our bodies are always communicating with us. For example, eczema can be an indicator of gluten sensitivity, and acne is often associated with…
Originally from New York, interior designer David Lucido descended upon Palm Beach last fall to oversee the buildout of the restaurant Le Bilboquet—and has been back and forth between his apartments in Chelsea and West Palm Beach ever since. Before starting his own firm, Lucido studied visual communications and architecture at Washington University in St. Louis, then designed for a private estate, overseeing residential projects around the globe as well as completing yachting and aviation work. He also served as design director for the Mercer Hotel in Soho. Because he now spends most of his time in Palm Beach, working on residential and hospitality projects in the area, he’s actively house-hunting here alongside his partner, Ori Harpaz, and their beloved Jack Russell terrier, Gunther. —Skye Sherman SIGNATURE ACCESSORY My gold…
