This week in travel: Instagram rolled out a pinch-to-zoom feature on iPhones, Google expanded Waze Carpool to combat Uber, and JetBlue became the first American commercial airline to fly to Cuba in over half a century. Nice. – Daniel, editorial assistant
I learned a ton of fascinating facts about jellyfish (my new favorite sea creature) from Stuff You Should Know's latest podcast episode. Biggest takeaway: Peeing on a jellyfish sting might do more harm than help. – Becky
Super excited to learn about the East Coast Greenway project. The 3,000-mile off-road bike path connects Maine to Florida. Help make it happen. – Berit
If you're looking for a career change, this could be your big break. Queen Elizabeth II is looking for assistants to tend house at Buckingham Palace. And you don't even need hospitality experience to apply. – Daniel
