When Tinggly was looking for bloggers to review their “experience gifts,” I jumped at the chance. I’d seen them around here and there in the travel sphere, but had yet to test out one of their gift boxes. So, this was the perfect opportunity. They recommended the “Experience the World” package for the #AdventurePartnerForLife and […]
What’s a girl to do with a few days by herself in San Juan, Puerto Rico? Find some cool things to do. And what better thing to do than engage in one of my all-time favorite travel hobbies, right? That’s right—I tracked down The Art Walk PR for some serious mural hunting. And we explored […]
What do you do when you have a whole week in Puerto Rico to yourself? Check out the food scene, of course! To be honest, I tend to find a place I like and keep going there. (As opposed to continuously trying new places.) And this tendency is even more evident when I’m traveling alone, […]
I went to San Juan with the mission of rescuing street puppies and flying them back to DC for adoption. An area animal shelter was running a program they called the “100 Puppy Project.” They’d fly folks down and back for free and, in return, you’d escort these pups on your return flight. The catch […]
It’s not like I needed any more reasons to love Wisconsin. After my midwest road trip, when I visited Bayfield and the Apostle Islands and Milwaukee, I was all in on this underrated, under-visited, and under-talked-about state. No changing my mind. And then Madison came along to steal my heart, too, with their insanely awesome […]
So, I’ve been indulging in my wanderlust and doing a few virtual tours here and there (Madison, Wisconsin… Lawrence, Kansas…). And it’s pretty cool to see how different places give virtual tours. One of the neater ones I recently did was a live sunset walking tour of Prague’s Jewish Quarter with Prague City Adventures. It […]
When you get an unusual—but safe—opportunity to explore small-town America during a global pandemic, what do you do? You dive right in, of course! …So there I was, gearing up to attend my all-time favorite Wanderful event, the Women In Travel Summit. And Wanderful is offering a ton of virtual tours and press trips, because […]
In the midst of the barbecue and the booze and all the over-the-top honky tonk, Music City’s Cumberland River offers a little respite— kayaking in Nashville. When I was looking for a place to catch some of the best views of the city skyline, one place in particular stood out to me. And it wasn’t […]
It’s so funny—I’ve been struggling to start this post. And not because there’s nothing to write about Franklin, TN. But because there’s so much to write about it. I mean… where do I even begin? How do I even organize my thoughts? And then type them up in a coherent fashion? Ultimately, I decided an […]
We spent a couple of days in and around Franklin as part of a larger overall Tennessee trip and, if you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend making this bitty town one of your formal stops. It could be an entire long weekend or family trip unto itself, really. And it very conveniently sits […]
