Below is a collection of my travel articles. These days, I mainly explore the South, with a large emphasis on high-end family travel, and I love an under-the-radar destination. I also write travel stories about my home, Atlanta! If you’d like to work together on a travel story, I can be reached at lia@liapicard.com.

Chattanooga is for Food Lovers
Chattanooga is only 1.5 hours away from Atlanta (depending on traffic, of course). There are plenty of things to do but the number one reason to go is the food.
Serenbe is an idyllic community just 45 minutes south of Atlanta. It’s our version of the Hamptons.
