And it’s all delicious. So, while you’re checking out all the awesome things to do there, be sure to pitstop at these best restaurants in […]
Yes. Kansas City barbecue is indeed amazing. But it’s not everything, y’all. My recent trip with Visit Missouri didn’t just show us all the best Missouri wineries and distilleries, it showed us a ton of delicious places to eat, too. So, if you’re in town and want a break from all that is barbecue, be […]
I know, I know… when you think of wine country or distilleries, Missouri probably isn’t the first place you had in your head. But dang, y’all—it seriously might need to be. You see, Visit Missouri and the official state wine board invited me to tour around the state with them. And let’s just say the […]
You know how I love my second cities. So, when I was accepted to participate in a Wichita press trip, I was all in. And—like most second cities—it had all the same “it factors” of a larger city… just on a smaller scale. I spent a jam-packed three days seeing all the things and eating […]
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 […]
As one of the nation’s least visited states, Nebraska kind of chills out in the background. Modest. Quietly confident in its offerings. And its state capital just might be its best kept metropolitan secret. After a whirlwind road trip, we decided we liked the area. A lot. And here are just a few actually cool […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
