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 […]
Holy cats, Meow Wolf! Thank you, thank you, thank you for a ridiculously fun immersive art experience! Anyone who knows me knows I love a good artsy activity. And the recent trend of immersive art exhibits has me all kinds of excited. But Meow Wolf’s Santa Fe exhibit, “House Of Eternal Return” is basically the […]
