I went to Europe and Asia in the same day, saw an actual Bris room, partied all night, and decided I could check Istanbul off my list.

Frederick is one of those colonial and Civil War-era towns that looks like it was nearly untouched. With beautiful red brick buildings, cobblestone roads, and hidden signs of bygone eras, it’s a wonderful way to spend a day!
Exploring Estes Park, CO
Estes Park is best known for its “role” in The Shining however, it’s real history is far less spooky. It’s a great way to spend a weekend, steeped in turn-of-the-century times.
Exploring Durango, CO
Durango is one of those movie-quality western towns that everyone needs to see at least once. Nestled in the mountains, within a reasonable driving distance from many states, it offers a great weekend experience!
Exploring Denver, CO
If there’s one word that can describe this mile-high city, it’s “growth”. Like any city, it faced its ups and downs, but it’s one of few that continues its comeback story even better than before. If you love history, food, and the excitement of what’s around you, then this city is for you!
Exploring Cortez/Mesa Verde, CO
Cortez’s and Mesa Verde’s histories span over 11,000 years when Native Americans owned the land. And, somehow, much of this history is still preserved in the beautiful national parks these towns still have. It’s worth the stop - especially to see the ancient pueblos!

Boulder is a beautiful, artsy town, nestled in the Colorado mountains. It’s a great way to spend an afternoon, leisurely taking in the sights of Pearl Street, or exploring abandoned areas.
Exploring Winston-Salem, NC
Visiting Winston-Salem is like diving head-first into a time capsule. Both the downtown area, as well as the historic area, are so well-preserved that you feel like a time traveler, going from the 1700s all the way through the 1940s. It’s just that cool.
Exploring Raleigh, NC
Raleigh is a former heavy industrial city-turned “hipster’s paradise” with restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, and cocktail bars throughout. It made for a great weekend getaway that we can’t wait to visit again.
Exploring Paris, France
For the first time in my life, I thoroughly exhausted Paris. There wasn’t one street we didn’t go down, one alleyway we didn’t explore and of course, we tried to see as many of the iconic places as we could. It took two months to put together this complete guide to Paris so use it and create your own amazing itinerary for Paris!
Exploring The Historic Village of Mesilla, NM
I hate western films but love historic western towns! Mesilla and Las Cruces, NM are time capsules rich with vigilante and cowboy history.
Exploring Jerome, Arizona
Eating dinner in a former insane asylum, followed by touring a theater with a gruesome past, makes Jerome feel like Halloween every day.
Exploring San Antonio, TX
San Antonio is so rich with culture, which comes alive during certain times of the year, particularly during Dío de Los Muertos. It’s then that the vibrancy of the city and of the Hispanic culture come alive in the most amazing of ways. Check out our post and steal this itinerary!
Exploring Las Vegas, NV
Every time we head back to Vegas, there’s always something new to experience and always a celebrity (or two) to run into.
