AFC Road Trip: Reviews From Atlanta to Abu Dhabi

In some cases we traveled very far away.

In November, Paddy went to Abu Dhabi and was followed around by butlers the entire time. Corinna went to Chicago and stayed in an Airbnb with a skateboard hanging over her bed. Whitney went to Atlanta and exclusively ate at Hooters. She recommends the wings on salad. While they were there, they also saw some art. Here are their reports, and more!
