I am a HUGE book lover and try to visit local book stores on all my travels. Here is a list of my favorites in NYC. There is a huge variety of options with a book store to fit almost every person, and I will be adding to it as I explore more!

Most people who visit want to do the touristy things. But I find the most joy sharing some things that may not be on the iconic lists, but are just as fun. This list is perfect for your second, third, and twentieth visit to the Big Apple!

My running list of the best bites and bars in Manhattan! I'm adding to it all the time and love trying new things! There are options for every price point and occasion on here :)

When I have three days in Amsterdam you know I am going to fit everything in! Use this itinerary to help you plan the perfect long weekend :)

I love Chicago! It has the perfect amount of things to do and see Vibrant cultural communities, a bustling downtown and some of the yummiest food!

From someone who is not the biggest fan of beaches, there is plenty of things to do!

Some of the famous spots and some places off the beaten path in the center of American history!

This is a tried and true perfect afternoon itinerary! It is my go to when friends are visiting the city :)

If you are looking for a guide to experience all the historical monuments and government buildings, this guide is not for you. I think there is already plenty of resources out there for the history buffs. Instead this guide is some of my personal favorite neighborhoods of the city and personal recommendations I would give for shopping, eating and just a little bit of history. You will may be surprised how much more there is to explore outside of the most famous landmarks!

When I moved to Northern Utah for college little did I know I would be spending the next 6 years there! After a great college experience, first adult job and global Pandemic I can honestly say SLC will always hold a special place in my heart! I am a tourist by nature, and all my friends and family have asked me throughout the years for suggestions, so here is every list I have made compiled for future use!

The hidden gem of the Midwest full of art, culture, and friendly people!

I am constantly surprised by how much there is to see and do in Boise. I think many people feel the same way as people have flocked to move there since the Pandemic. My husband is born and raised there so we visit regularly! It also has a special place in my heart as it is the city where we got engaged!

I loved this city so much I spent my Bachelorette Weekend there! Here are some suggestions for making your trip to the heart of country music memorable!

Bourbon- a throughly American spirit made with at least 51% corn and distilled only in brand new white oak barrels in the US, and Louisville is the heart of Bourbon. This itinerary is two full days, six distilleries, four fantastic local restaurants along with shopping and stay recommendations. Perfect for a three day weekend! My goal was for us to visit as many distilleries as possible, but try to have a unique experience at everyone one (there is only so many times you need to learn how whiskey is distilled). And as someone who is not a whiskey drinker (but is married to one) I wanted us both to have fun!

My travel style is to eat, walk around to kill time, and then eat some more. Here or some of the places I recommended as a local!

Just some of my favorite

These are my hand picked hotels for Salt Lake City I have stayed at almost all of these or have visited friends who are staying there!

The Biggest Little City in the World, and my favorite neighborhood in the USA!

I left my heart in Oklahoma when I went to celebrate graduating with my online Master's in Education from Oklahoma State University! This three day itinerary should show you why!

After living in SLC for a couple years, I hosted some of my girlfriends from all over the country to spend a weekend getting the most out of SLC! This guide is perfect if you love small shops, yummy food and walking! It includes a hand picked bar hopping night and my favorite hike for all activity levels.

I have tried for years to like beer to no avail, but these breweries are just too good to pass up!

Cute mountain town with both the Grand Canyon and Sedona easy to drive to... Flagstaff is for you! This itinerary is compiled from my several trips out there. It was used by one of my friends for her first trip to the SouthWest!

I want to like hiking, but let’s face it there are so many other things I would rather do with my time. But these hikes were close to changing my mind!
