I've been to Zion National Park twice now, and I highly recommend that if you find yourself in southwestern Utah, make it a point to check this park out. Both times I've gone, I've unfortunately only had one day in the park, but I got the chance to do different hikes on both visits. There is so much to do and see at this park, and it's definitely up there with my favorite national parks. Hopefully, this post will inspire you to take your own trip out west to visit this breath

Two years ago, my fiancé and I took a week long trip to Portland, Maine. When we were doing research to plan our itinerary, I came across Peaks Island. We had both never heard of it, but saw how accessible it was from Portland and thought it would be a fun and unique thing to add to our trip, and I'm so glad we did! We only spent half a day here, which we felt like was enough, and if you've never heard of Peaks Island, stick around and consider adding it to your Portland itin

I got the chance to visit Yellowstone for the first time in September 2023 during my family vacation, and I absolutely fell in love! Granted, I only spent 2 days in the park, so I know there is so much that I didn't get to see, but these are some of my must-sees if you're visiting the park!

Fall is, without a doubt, my favorite season, and fall in Pennsylvania is something I will never take for granted! I spent four years living full-time in eastern North Carolina, where I didn't get to experience a true fall season, so my first fall when I moved back to PA a few years ago really made me appreciate it even more. While I'm sitting here, writing this post in the Summer, it's a colder, rainy day and just felt like the perfect fall-vibe day to get me excited for the

Maine is one of my favorite places to visit in the summer. The vibes are immaculate, the temperature is perfect, and the scenery is beautiful. I've been to a few different parts of Maine; however, my most recent trip last June was probably my favorite in terms of what we were able to do and see in our week there. If you're planning a trip to Maine, here's my recommended itinerary! Table of Contents: Getting to Maine Where to Stay Day One: Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor Da

Last January, my boyfriend and I took a trip to New York to visit the Finger Lakes area to celebrate our 2-year anniversary. We both love wineries and have heard great things about the Finger Lakes, specifically the Seneca Wine Trail, and it certainly did not disappoint for our first time there! Seneca Lake, where we stayed, is home to 30 wineries! Here's how we spent our weekend in the Finger Lakes- Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. If you click on one of the l
