Gorgeous Destinations & Inspired Cuisine.

Hey There!

I’m glad you’re here. I travel throughout the USA, exploring all the different regions of our country.

From small towns in West Virginia to unknown rivers in Nebraska to the swamps of Louisiana and the bright lights of New York City, I plan to see it all and I’ll share all my adventures with you here!

I’m an experienced, published travel writer whose love of exploring the USA runs deep.

I started this site as a way to document my travels. The more I travel, the more I realize just how little of the USA I’ve seen.

I’m slowly making my way through each state, and enjoying what makes each one different. The people. The places. The food!

I’m naturally inquisitive and like to dig deep. There’s always more to everything than meets the eye.  Let’s discover it all!
