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 […]
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 […]
I’m a big fan of the desert. Something about the otherworldly and seemingly never-ending landscape, the harsh survival conditions, and the huge temperature swings intrigues me. So, I’d been looking for a reason to explore New Mexico a little more than I already had. And there was one place that was non-negotiable for this trip—Santa […]
I always jump at the chance to check out a new city. So, when I flew into El Paso to meet up with my dad, I do what it is that I do—I made a whole day out of the stop. As always, it was one of my whirlwind visits. But not without lots of […]
For all the times I’ve been to the City of Lights, can you believe I’ve never tackled any of the more unique things to do in Paris? It feels almost criminal. Off-the-beaten-path everything is my jam, too. It was this admission that prompted several of my fellow bloggers to tell me all the great, non […]
I’ve been to all fifty states—Georgia more times than I can count—and can you believe I’ve never been to Savannah? Well, me being me, you know I’m going to fix that. So, I did. I went. And I had a complete blast. I had way too much fun, if I’m being completely honest. My only […]
You’ll never hear me say that the city of Paris isn’t worth a visit. But, let’s be honest, it tends to steal the spotlight from the other bagilliondy, equally gorgeous cities in France. I grew up only a couple hours from Paris in Belgium. And, while I have certainly been to any number of French […]
