Did you know Wichita is the largest city in Kansas? Or that it’s the 48th largest city in the U.S.? The population is now around 650,000. But this Mid-West city has roots that date back all the way to the 1860’s when it was once a trading out post during the “Wild West”. Nicknamed the…
Everyone always thinks of Seattle when they think of Washington State. The sea, the mountains, Starbucks…but the other side of the state is just as wonderful and deserves more recognition. I knew very little about Spokane before I went. I love when a place can really surprise me. Spokane is located on the eastern side…
I never heard of this sleepy little mountain town. I had no idea what to expect as I drove thru the mountains into Blowing Rock. It was immense overcast and I could barely see the road when I arrived. Starving I parked on the main street and strolled around in order to find lunch.
On a quest for all things Edgar Allan Poe and the ultimate brunch spot I made my last stop on my month long road trip Baltimore. I have driven thru Maryland countless times whether it was heading to Ocean City or further south. Upon spending time in Baltimore I can’t believe I ever passed it…

How to spend a weekend in Swansea. What to do, what to eat and what to see.
There is this place in Montana where a river runs through it. A place you can have it all. Arts, culture, diversity, outdoors and incredible food and drink. This place is called Missoula. I sadly dismissed Montana as a destination. I knew it would be beautiful but I felt like it wouldn’t have anything to…
