My best side quest for @lonelyplanet: taking @PADI's advanced open water diver course in Greece, certifying me to scuba 100ft under water! I went cave diving in Crete, explored shipwrecks in Thessaloniki and the Athens Riviera, and planted seagrass in the Mediterranean. So epic.

My contribution to @lonelyplanet's staff list of favorite bars is NYC's No More Cafe, which specializes in zero-proof cocktails full of complex flavors. No boring fruit juice here!

Think about your favorite bar you've ever visited. Maybe it's a vibey see-and-be-seen spot in a major city like New York or Tokyo. Or you like a no-frills,…
