Save Ferris: A Gen X Pilgrimage to Chicago
We retraced Ferris Bueller's iconic day off through Chicago — the Art Institute, Wrigley Field, that parade float. If you grew up rewinding this VHS tape until it broke, this one's for you. It's the episode that started it all.
Watch the EpisodeWhy Living Vicariously?
Here's the thing — Gen X travelers got left out of the content game. Everything's either aimed at 20-somethings backpacking through hostels on a ramen budget or luxury travel that requires a second mortgage and a personal concierge.
We wanted something in between. Real travel for people who've been around the block (sometimes literally), who want adventure but also appreciate a good mattress and a restaurant where you don't have to shout over the DJ.
Living Vicariously is for the people who grew up making mix tapes and watching John Hughes movies — and who still believe that the best stories come from actually going places, not just scrolling through someone else's highlight reel.
Even when you can't travel, you can live vicariously. And when you can? We've got you covered.
