We left the suburbs behind and headed for the back roads. The drive from Franklin out to Leipers Fork changes quickly. Subdivisions give way to open land. Fences. Horses.

The first chapter of our Miles and Moments journey is about to begin—and we couldn’t imagine a more magical starting point than Cyprus. Nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean, Cyprus is a place where history whispers through ancient ruins, turquoise waters stretch for miles, and sun-soaked beaches invite you to slow down and savor…

– A Journey Begins Travel has always meant more to us than just checking off destinations. It’s about waking up in a new place with that familiar feeling of wonder in your chest—the kind you had as a child when everything was new, wild, and waiting to be explored. That feeling is what sparked Miles…
