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 […]
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 […]
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of South Dakota. And I was really looking forward to showing it off to the #AdventurePartner on our Nebraska & Dakotas road trip. I imagine folks who’ve never visited the state would have zero idea exactly how many exceptional things to do in South Dakota there are. But, […]
Just when you thought we’d digitized every imaginable thing, Chicago Magic Lounge still has one more trick up its sleeve—a virtual magic show. Paired with a cocktail hour. So, when Global Debauchery got an opportunity to “attend” a show, I was all in. Drink in hand. …I had no idea I’d experience such a magical […]
Nebraska is one of the least-visited states in the United States, but our recent road trip through Cornhusker country truly left me wondering why. There are indeed vast expanses of grassland, but I find that particular landscape really intriguing. Not to mention the endless pioneer stories, which had me obsessively reading all about the Donner […]
You may or may not know that this blog was started when yours truly was pursuing her 40×40 (40 countries by age 40, which I smashed by the way). And, to be honest, I’ve yet to establish another travel goal for myself. But the #AdventurePartnerForLife has—to visit all fifty states. And who am I to […]
Although my most recent trip through America’s heartland was a road trip, we actually traveled in all kinds of different ways—subway, airplane, Uber, driving, walking. And in several different states—Maryland, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana. Being the Type A traveler that I am and, being in the middle of Coronavirus in the US, I […]
I always ask the #AdventureParternForLife if he has any “special requests” for a new itinerary I’m crafting. Aside from him wanting to officially visit all fifty states, this trip, it was to visit Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. (Locally known as “the UP,” and where the “Yoopers” hail from.) “I have to see the UP. I have […]
What does one do when they’re trapped in their own country indefinitely? Go explore it, of course. (Safely. Legally.) After four cancelled trips and a few months in strict quarantine, things were starting to look up (and they were, at the time). Our home base—DC Metro—had just started reopening after being the United States’ official […]
When my husband said he wanted to visit all fifty states, I was one thousand percent on board. So, I sat down and started my usual Googling to plan an epic Midwest road trip. Before long, I discovered the charming and vibrant city of Bayfield, Wisconsin, a sparkling little gem on Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands National […]
