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.

Prague’s Jewish Quarter: A Virtual Walking Tour
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.

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 […]
12 Unique Things To Do In Paris
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.

14 Of The Best Cities In France To Visit (That Aren’t Paris)
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 […]
