I’ve been to Mobile, Alabama several times throughout my travels along the Gulf Coast. I spent a month living there as a digital nomad, and I was pleasantly surprised with how many things there are to do there. It’s not far from the beach, it has a charming downtown, and it has plenty of nightlife…
Why am I doing this? How much longer? My back hurts. My knees hurt. I’m not a “real” hiker, what was I thinking? OMG! This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen! These were all thoughts I had along the Hanakapiai Falls hike. On my trip to Kauai, I walked, crawled, slid, and rock…
It’s time to put away the swimsuits and break out the jackets and apple cider. It’s fall y’all! After spending years traveling full-time as a digital nomad in the U.S., I’ve had the chance to experience a lot of different corners of the country, including some fantastic fall destinations. And I’ve learned that the “best”…
Taking a day trip to Pensacola, Florida? Lucky you! Pensacola is a charming coastal town with a wonderful beach (my favorite beach in the country!), a cute downtown area, and delicious eating and drinking options, including the OG Bushwacker. Plus, it’s home to the Blue Angels, and you can go see them practice if you’d…
If you’re planning a solo trip to Kaua’i, first off, let me say I’m jealous. Kaua’i is genuinely the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. And it’s not just the sights–being there does something to you. I mean, I drove around that island and started to believe I could write folk songs and learn to…
Does the idea of going on summer vacation only to plant yourself on a crowded beach among a sea of bodies sound like your personal hell? Or paying twelve bucks for a hunk of fudge after standing in line for an hour. Maybe you’re just over tourist traps entirely. I hear ya. If you’d rather…
The French Quarter gets all the attention in New Orleans, and to be fair, it’s iconic. I’ve lived in New Orleans for years now, and the French Quarter still makes me smile every time I go. But it’s also crowded, loud, and not always the version of New Orleans people actually fall in love with….
Spring is one of the best times to travel in the U.S. because the weather is mild, it’s not quite peak tourist season for most places, and prices are often lower than in summer. Spring travel in the U.S. looks different depending on where you go: in some places it means cherry blossoms and wildflowers,…
When I die, I want to go to the Flora-Bama. The Flora-Bama Lounge is honestly my idea of heaven: good food, strong drinks, music always playing, interesting characters, and most importantly, the ability to turn off my mind and just zombie out and enjoy it for a few hours. Everybody’s in a good mood, and…
When I visited Albuquerque, I took a day trip to Acoma Pueblo, also known as “Sky City,” It’s about an hour away from the city and is absolutely worth the trip. This isn’t really a touristy or historic site, but rather someone’s home, since it is still inhabited today. This was my experience visiting Acoma…
Meow Wolf Denver is described as an interactive art experience, and honestly, one look at the pictures is usually enough to tell whether you’re the type who’ll love it or want to turn around immediately (guess which one I am?). Meow Wolf was at the top of my Denver to-do list. Going in, I wasn’t…
I briefly lived in NYC as a digital nomad, and let me tell ya, the hustle and bustle is real. As an introvert, it could get overwhelming fast, especially in crowded areas. To put things into perspective, I once got irritated because some guy was staring at the same subway wall that I was…talk about…
If you like weird, nostalgic art that disturbs you just a little, the Abita Mystery House was made for you. Living about forty minutes away and unable to think of a better way to spend a perfect-weather Sunday, I decided to finally check it out. It’s the kind of roadside attraction that doesn’t really get…
Updated June 15, 2026 There are two types of travelers: those who want to get there as fast as possible and those who try to enjoy the journey, because getting there is half the adventure. I’ve been both, depending on my mood, but lately I’m Team Enjoy the Journey. I’m a sucker for weird roadside…
I loved Breaking Bad when it was new and always will, so I was delighted that its spirit is still alive and well in Albuquerque. Breaking Bad Tours are operating, and I highly recommend you take one if you’re a fan of the show. A note here–if it’s been a while since you watched the…
