A journal from my journey to visit all 50 U.S. states
I've done enough moving and road trips in my Honda Accord enough times to call myself an expert in the art of packing small cars (and leaving enough room so you can still see out of the back windshield). It really is like a game of Tetris and I have to thank my parents and... Continue Reading →
Just a 30-minute ferry ride off the coast of Long Island, you'll find the quaint local paradise of Fire Island, NY.
Need to check Kentucky off your list? Looking for a quick weekend trip close to home? Nestled exactly between the cities of Louisville, KY, and Nashville, TN, you'll find Cave City.
This past January, long before COVID-19 took over, I found myself in a unique situation. I got a new job and had a free week between my last day and my first day. Given that I'm 24, and I'm running out of time to hit my "50 states by 25" goal, I immediately started looking... Continue Reading →
