Why Travis Kelce Posting Taylor Swift Pics Now ‘Wasn't Random'
THE RUNDOWN On Thursday, Travis Kelce went 'Instagram official' with girlfriend Taylor Swift, posting a carousel of pics featuring the Eras Tour singer during their time together this year. In the caption, he wrote, 'Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 💯' The high-profile couple seems to make careful decisions about appearing in public and sharing intimate looks into their relationship and they're generally fairly discreet on social media. A source speaking with People says that Kelce's choice to finally post images of Swift 'wasn't random.' 'It was intentional,' the insider claimed. 'They've been private in their own way, but this was his way of showing how serious things have become.' The source added, 'They're in a really solid place and more in sync than ever.' The couple started dating in the summer of 2023, but Swift first appeared at one of Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs games in September of that year, announcing the relationship. 'When I met her in New York, we had already kind of been talking, so I knew we could have a nice dinner and, like, a conversation, and what goes from there will go from there,' Kelce told WSJ magazine in November 2023 of their first date. 'Everybody around me telling me: 'Don't fuck this up!' And me sitting here saying: 'Yeah—got it.'' Swift has posted Kelce on Instagram before, in June 2024, when she shared a selfie taken backstage at her London show while being visited by Prince William and his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Kelce's collection featured pics with friends and family, including his brother, Jason, and mother, Donna. Swift appeared beside Kelce in photos from a trip to Montana, on a boat, and in a restaurant where they're wearing matching black outfits. One photo even revealed Kelce's lock screen, which featured a black-and-white pic of the couple. Some fans thought Swift was flashing an engagement ring in the blurry image, since she is clearly holding up her hand. But the singer is reportedly wearing her boyfriend's Super Bowl rings in the image. She's proud of him.

You Can Surf Down the Side of an Active Volcano at This Central American Destination
With chill coastal communities like San Juan del Sur buzzing with surf-minded visitors, the stellar swells crashing along the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua are no longer the best-kept secret in Central America. But in-the-know thrill seekers are heading into the country's interior for another kind of surfing experience: "volcano boarding" down the sandy black cone of Cerro Negro volcano. "Volcano boarding is a really unique and memorable experience to try when visiting Nicaragua," says Javier Silva, a long-time Nicaragua expat and executive director of the non-profit Lacrosse the Nations. The adventure is just as other-worldly as you'd imagine, starting with facing down the slopes of a still-active volcano and culminating with a dusty, high-speed descent that feels somewhere between sledding and go-kart racing. To protect against the ashy, sandy spray that coats the sides of Cerro Negro, boarders don bright orange jumpsuits and ski goggles, only adding to the next-level thrill of the experience. Tourists prepare to leave after sandboarding down the Cerro Negro volcano. INTI OCON/AFP via Getty Images "Keep in mind that you probably won't be able to stand up on the board; you'll definitely want to sit on it," says Silva. "The descent is so steep that you get going very fast, and it's pretty challenging to control the board. Hold on, and simply lean into the ride." Just how fast is fast? Wait until you reach the bottom of the cone to find out. Most volcano boarding excursions will have someone standing at the bottom of the volcano with a radar gun to clock your speed, which can reach up to 40 miles per hour. "If you're traveling with friends and are at all competitive, seeing who can reach the highest speed will be a riot," says Silva. Named by Travel + Leisure editors as one of the best places to visit in 2025, Nicaragua wows with everything from white-sand Caribbean islands and centuries-old churches to immense biodiversity in its untouched rainforests. But for a destination that still draws many intrepid travelers, volcano boarding is easily one of the country's most popular experiences. "It's one of the most highly-requested tours from visitors and guests," says Howard Coulson, general manager at Jicaro Island Lodge, a sustainability-focused luxury lodge on a private island in Lake Nicaragua. Tourists climb the Cerro Negro volcano to enjoy sandboarding. INTI OCON/AFP via Getty Images Most volcano boarders embark early in the morning from the charming city of León, located just 45 minutes from Cerro Negro. However, volcano boarding's growing popularity means that tour operators now offer the excursion, with transportation included, from other destinations across the country. Many hotels and resorts, including Jicaro Island Lodge, curate their own private or small-group excursions for guests, but Coulson also recommends Vapues Travel for their certified guides with years of experience. León's proximity to Cerro Negro allows volcano boarders to get an early start on the expedition, beating the crowds and avoiding the midday sun, which can make the experience more challenging. "It's important that travelers know that the experience can be demanding," cautions Coulson, citing the high temperatures on the sunbaked surface of the volcano. Though the descent down the slopes is invigorating and lasts less than a minute, it's the hour-long ascent up the volcano's cone carrying your board that makes it unexpectedly challenging. The sandy, unstable terrain and steady incline don't make it easier. Boarders should come well-prepared for the experience by wearing sneakers or hiking boots and carrying plenty of water, sunscreen, and sun protection gear like UPF-rated clothing and a sunhat with a chinstrap. Tour operators will provide orange jumpsuits for the descent, but you'll want to be comfortable when ascending the volcano. There's one unexpected highlight of the experience that most visitors forget until they arrive: taking in the view from the top of the towering crater. "Walking to the top of an active volcano, where you can contemplate all of the volcano's beauty and the beauty of its surroundings, is something truly special," says Coulson. Vistas stretch on for miles in every direction, but peeking into Cerro Negro itself, less than 200 years old and still belching streams of gas and smoke, is arguably just as enchanting. "That's definitely one of the highlights of the experience," says Silva, "but the thrill ride back down the volcano again doesn't hurt, either."

Savage but fair: Surviving a swank writing master class in Morocco
Silk Road Slippers, a five-day writers workshop at a delicous Moroccan resort, was more scrivener's boot camp than a luxurious path to self-discovery. MARRAKECH, Morocco – It's morning under the Atlas Mountains and publishing legend Alexandra Pringle is taking a savage blue pencil to a very nice paragraph. At least I thought it was a very nice paragraph. But no. It's actually a mess – jumbled, ineffective – and Pringle, former editor-in-chief at Bloomsbury Publishing in London, strikes down my wan offering with a single sentence before moving on to the next willing victim. It's obvious, just one day into this weeklong writing workshop, that we're in the hands of professionals – three glamorous, erudite killers who've had a hand in some of the biggest and most interesting books of the last 40 years. Pringle runs the master classes with historian and broadcaster Alex von Tunzelmann ("Fallen Idols", "Indian Summer") and Faiza Khan, a former editor-at-large at Random House, packing the plummiest accent this side of Downton Abbey. They're a formidable team – humane, perceptive, politely unsparing. The outfit, called Silk Road Slippers, holds four master classes a year at a delicious resort hotel outside Marrakech, each featuring a different heavyweight lecturer, including winners of the Nobel, Booker, Pulitzer and other literary prizes. My session was graced by novelist Alan Hollinghurst ("The Line of Beauty"). Esther Freud, Nobel laureate Abdulrazak Gurnah , Monica Ali and Andrew O'Hagan have all given attendees a bracing taste of how it's really done. The classes are very much open to new writers. Many at the session I attended earlier this year were already in the writing game, some with published books. But Silk Road Slippers wasn't created with literary pros in mind, von Tunzelmann says. Among those gathered under the palms at the workshop's long outdoor table placed near an outdoor fireplace to ward off the morning chill were an architect, a publicist and a counselor. Silk Road Slippers has hosted newbies who'd spent their professional lives in business, medicine, and law. Scrivener's boot camp The Jnane Tamsna boutique hotel, created by French attorney Meryanne Loum-Martin (whose life would fill a page-turner) and her American ethnobotanist husband Gary Martin, was the swanky backdrop to a week of grinding mental labor. The Morocco location makes Silk Road Slippers accessible to writers from Asia, Africa and Latin America who may not care for the process of getting a visa to Europe and the United States. (U.S. passport-holders travel to Morocco visa-free.) Despite the sumptuous trappings – the palms, the book-lined bar, the (five!) swimming pools – Silk Road Slippers is more scrivener's boot camp than a luxurious path to self-discovery. The days are filled with short writing exercises, with each hastily written passage read aloud by the author and then critiqued by Pringle, Khan and von Tunzelmann. Writers are drilled in dialogue, setting, action, perspective – a crash course in substance and style. In a revealing assignment, attendees were asked to write a fictional third-person scene with themselves as the protagonist. As with the other drills, the results ranged from middling (that was mine) to quite good. There wasn't a bad pen among the nine women and two men who were my classmates. But none topped Booker Prize-winner Hollinghurst, who turned out, in the same 15 minutes as the rest of us, a richly cinematic scene placing the fictional character of Alan Hollinghurst in a tricky social encounter fraught with manners, ego, and ambition. Just like something out of a novel. Anyone can play Years ago, U.S. literary wags spilled barrels of ink over the question of MFA vs. NYC, shorthand for two paths to creating a life as a novelist: the formal structure of a master's in fine arts degree, with its ready-made community and the tutelage of established teacher-mentors, or the (relatively) hard-knock life of apprenticing oneself to the New York publishing industry and living, loving, losing in the real world, with all the bruises to show for it. Nobody was talking about this kind of thing in Marrakech. I had no idea where anyone went to school, or what credentials they may have held. Every person there was taking a leap of some kind to learn alongside – and expose themselves to – a group of discerning strangers. There was no shortage of work. There were tears, and support among new friends. Some writing samples were raw and personal, but that was no protection from our instructors and the feedback born from their editorial instincts: 'There's too much specificity. You're putting the kitchen sink in there.' 'It's just awful. It's explanatory. It's telling us what to think.' 'There's nothing more boring than other people's dreams.' By the end of the week, each participant had completed a passage of at least 1,000 words to be assessed in an hourlong consultation with one of our three guides. I drew Pringle, and I've never had a more rewarding or discombobulating conversation about writing. Despite having two nonfiction books and decades of journalism to my name, Pringle pointed me to the far riskier path of literary fiction. That gets to the heart of why even a published author might want to spend time and money on a workshop like Silk Road Slippers and why it holds so much potential benefit for newcomers. This is solitary work, and trying out your craft with trusted peers and masters of different ages and walks of life can be – as I found – a rejuvenating literary shot in the arm.
