Michigan Travel Guide
I might not be a Michigan native, but I’ve explored the mitten enough over the years to have built up a solid list of some of the good stuff this state has to offer. If you’re looking for a Michigan Travel Guide, this is my tried and true list of Pure Michigan favs.
Tulum Travel Guide
With a wedding anniversary in March, we always have a fun occasion to look forward to during a not-fun time of year—and an excuse to take a trip someplace warm. This year, that place was Tulum, Mexico and spoiler alert: I absolutely LOVED it.
A Complete Guide to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail
Bourbon. I’m not going to lie, I haven’t always been a big brown liquor fan, but after heading down to the motherland and making my way through The Kentucky Bourbon Trail, I’ve got a special place in my heart for the stuff.
Amsterdam & Copenhagen Travel Guide
A couple of years ago, my friend Kim and I realized that while we both love traveling—and in particular, traveling to Europe, we had somehow never been together. Almost immediately we began scheming up a trip and decided that visiting Holland in the springtime was the way to go.
Asheville, North Carolina Travel Guide
Asheville, North Carolina has been on my radar for a long time now, and when we were looking for a place to celebrate our wedding anniversary this past March, we decided to switch it up and head to the southeast instead of the southwest like we had the previous 2 years.
Pacific Northwest Travel Guide
While I’m a Northeast girl through and through, I’ve got a major soft spot for the Pacific Northwest. The nature is incredible and easily accessible, the climate is mild with a winter that isn’t bone-chillingly cold, and let’s be real, hipster food, drink, and activity abounds.
The Best Wineries in Northern Michigan
Call me basic, but I love wine tasting. And I especially love wine tasting with my girlfriends—double basic. Much to my surprise, when I moved to Michigan I discovered that there’s actually a pretty decent wine region “up north” (as they call it here).
Death Valley National Park Travel Guide
As someone who loves to travel, I'm fortunate that I get to travel for work from time to time for trade shows. While the typical trade show hot spots like Orlando and Las Vegas aren't necessarily my #1 choice of destination, I'm pretty good at doing a little research to see what's within a few hours of driving distance so I can extend my trip to visit someplace I actually do want to spend time.
Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park Travel Guide
After we eloped in Las Vegas last year, we took what I called a "minimoon" to Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks in Utah. March was a little early beach-weather-wise to do our full-fledged honeymoon to Croatia, but I wanted to do something after the "wedding" itself before heading back to the dreary Michigan weather we had left behind.
A Honeymoon Road Trip Through Croatia & Slovenia
In the early 2000s, I subscribed to a magazine called Budget Travel. While I'm sure that I dog-eared at least a dozen pages in every issue, two countries that I read about quickly made their way to my travel short list—and to the top of my list for future honeymoon destinations: Croatia and Slovenia.
