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…
As an introvert, I’m always looking for low-key activities when I travel. Don’t get me wrong–I like to go to festivals and parades too, but I need my alone time to recharge my batteries. I’ve been living as an introverted digital nomad in the U.S. for nearly 4 years now, and some places I’ve lived…
I’ll admit it–I went to Albuquerque mostly for the Breaking Bad tour, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised by all the fun things to do there. Not only did get my fill of Breaking Bad, but I also enjoyed a lot of nature/outdoor activities (including riding in a hot air balloon!), offbeat spots (some…
Ahhh, a classic American road trip: the Denver to Telluride drive. This is one of the prettiest drives I’ve ever done, and honestly, Telluride is so gorgeous that it doesn’t even seem like a real place. And if you have a dog? Even better. There are plenty of beautiful spots to stop and walk your…
It’s no secret that Austin, Texas is home to the weird. Just spend a Sunday at Chicken Shit Bingo, and you’ll see what I mean. Well, Cathedral of Junk is another oddity that feels right at home in Austin. It’s a structure you can walk through, and it’s made entirely of…well, junk. It’s actually in…
Updated June 23, 2026 It’s no secret that New Orleans is home to some of the best food and drink in the world. And the best part is, you don’t have to break the bank to enjoy it. I mean, you could if you wanted, but you don’t have to! As someone who’s spent over…
