United States Travel
The United States is full of destinations that deserve more attention than they get, and I love shining a light on the ones that make you pause and say, “How did I not know about this place?”
Here, you’ll find guides from small towns in Alaska to laid-back pockets of the Pacific Northwest and California wine regions that don’t feel pretentious, to natural springs in Florida that look straight out of a tropical daydream - and everything in between.
If you’re the kind of traveler who values unique experiences, meaningful moments, and trip ideas that go beyond the obvious, you’ll feel right at home here. Think of this as your starting point for discovering the USA, one hidden gem destination at a time, with stories, tips, and itineraries based on my personal travels.
Whether you’re dreaming of a cozy getaway in Washington, a scenic road trip along the Oregon coast, or a warm-weather escape to the Southeast, my USA guides are built to help you discover destinations that feel both exciting and refreshingly un-touristy.
Wherever you’re heading next, I’m here to help you find the places worth slowing down for!

I’ve visited Alaska twice and have fallen in love with it more each time. These guides will help you experience everything from glaciers to wildlife in one of the most awe-inspiring places in the U.S. Anchorage is the easiest jumping-off point!

After five years in the Pacific Northwest, I still can’t get enough of its mix of moody coastlines, lush forests, vibrant cities, and colorful flower farms.
California Travel Guides
After visiting California more than ten times, it’s a place I keep coming back to for its incredible variety, from the vineyards of Sonoma to the desert landscapes of Palm Springs.
Southwest Travel Guides
Having grown up in Texas, the Southwest will always feel a bit like home to me, with unforgettable landscapes like the Grand Canyon, incredible food, and some of the friendliest people you’ll meet.
Southeast Travel Guides
After living in Florida for a few years and having family there for over a decade, the Southeast has become one of my favorite regions, with a mix of coastal charm, great food, and destinations that are perfect for exploring more of the U.S.
Northeast Travel Guides
I lived in New York City for nearly ten years, but rarely explored beyond the city. The Northeast is a region I’m beginning to explore more deeply, with plenty still left to discover.
