North America

I have the unpopular opinion in Philadelphia that North Carolina beaches are better than the Jersey Shore. There are TONS of beaches in North Carolina (I could name a dozen off the top of my head), and I grew up going to the empty beaches at Ocean Isle, Emerald Isle, and Sunset Beach. Plus, the […]

Charleston is one of my favorite cities in the U.S.! There’s so much to do, and it’s so beautiful and colorful 🙂 I’ve been a few times now, and I visited again recently for a girl’s weekend (Charleston is a great spot for a girl’s weekend!) so I put together an itinerary for my favorite […]

I LOVE how colorful Charleston is! Last week I posted about the best places to shop and eat in Charleston, and I love that even the stores and markets are colorful. Charleston is the closest thing I’ve seen to Burano Island in the U.S. so far. So if you want to see some beautiful pastel-colored […]

After visiting New Orleans, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, and a quick visit to North Carolina, my last stop on my adventure was Charleston for a girl’s weekend! I have been to Charleston a few times before, and it’s definitely one of my favorite cities in the U.S. It’s so pretty and colorful! One of my favorite […]

Did you know that Thomas Edison and Henry Ford spent their winters in Fort Myers, FL? I didn’t before my parents moved there a year ago, and since then, I’ve taken a tour of the Edison & Ford Winter Estates three times already! It’s fascinating to see the historical houses and labs, and the gardens […]

Last week I had my last post on my adventures in the Deep South, and after visiting New Orleans, Alabama, and Mississippi, I went to Florida to visit my family. They recently moved to Fort Myers, and I visited them last March and wrote a post about some hidden gems there, and I’ve visited them twice […]

If you’re just tuning into my adventures in the Deep South, Biloxi, Mississippi was my last stop! I had never heard of Biloxi before researching places to visit on the coast of Mississippi, and I’m so happy we decided to check it out. It has beautiful beaches and a really interesting history! 🙂 One day […]

During my New Orleans trip, I took a day trip to Alabama and Mississippi on my quest to visit all 50 states before I turn 30! The day started in Alabama at Bellingrath Gardens, one of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever visited 🙂 If you’re visiting Alabama, you definitely need to visit the gardens. […]

A little while ago, I announced that I was visiting Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi as part of my quest to visit all 50 states before I turn 30 (those states got me up to 42!). I started this trip in New Orleans with my mom and had an awesome time and ate some AMAZING food, […]

New Orleans is known for its food, and it did not disappoint. I didn’t have a single bad meal while I was there! I went to a variety of restaurants and everything I tried was delicious, and surprisingly, everything was cheaper than I expected. The most I paid was $20 for a three course meal! […]

When I was in New Orleans, I did a self-guided tour of the Warehouse District along with lots of tours with groups- two cemetery tours, a French Quarter tour, and the last one was a New Orleans Garden District tour! It started in the Lafayette Cemetery before continuing on to see the beautiful historic homes. […]
