Places to Go on Your Birthday & Fun Things to Do
Plan a weekend trip to Gadsden to see the beautiful Noccalula Falls Park and visit the city's top attractions.
Alabama in the southern United States has one of the highest densities of caves by area of any state in the US.
Traveling the world reminded me how many ways there are to live—and how each place opens something new in you. I remember standing in cities I’d only read about, walking through markets I couldn’t have imagined, hearing languages I didn’t understand but somehow felt. And I remember thinking, “This is what it means to be changed by where you’ve been.”
What stayed with me weren’t just the views or landmarks, but the feelings: awe, wonder, humility, connection. A shared laugh across a language barrier. A still moment watching the sun rise over a temple or a mountain or a quiet street. Each trip left something with me—and gently took something too, like doubt, or rush, or assumption. I came home more open every time.
