Travel Itineraries

Over the past 8+ years, I’ve traveled through 69 countries by train, tuk-tuk, ferry, rental car, and yes… even by horseback. I’ve road tripped across the U.S., backpacked through Southeast Asia, island-hopped in Greece, and mapped out Alps-to-Adriatic itineraries that feel like something out of a movie.

This section features my most comprehensive, personally tested travel itinerarie…whether you’re planning a weekend in Paris or a 3-week road trip through the American Southwest.

What You’ll Find in This Section…

🚗 Epic Road Trips

I’ve driven coast-to-coast and deep into national parks, creating detailed routes with stop-by-stop breakdowns, Google Maps, hotel recs, and hidden gem detours. Some favorites:

  • New England Fall Foliage Itinerary (my most detailed and in-demand trip guide)

  • Ultimate Pacific Northwest Road Trip (Washington, Oregon)

  • Southwest USA Road Trip through Utah’s Mighty 5, Arizona, and New Mexico

🏙️ City Breaks & Long Weekends

You’ll also find optimized 2–5 day city itineraries that cover the must-sees without the burnout. These are based on my own time spent living or traveling in cities like:

  • Barcelona, where I studied abroad and return often

  • Vienna, Hamburg, and Verona, where I’ve recently explored hidden corners and local spots

  • Boston, where I’ve lived my entire life and know every neighborhood inside and out

🏝️ Island Hopping & Coastal Routes

From chasing sunsets across the Greek Islands to ferry-hopping in Patagonia, I’ve mapped out smooth, scenic routes that minimize stress and maximize adventure. You’ll also find tropical escapes like:

  • Bali in 3 Weeks

  • Azores and Madeira guides

  • Caribbean beach-hopping and coastal New England adventures

🏔️ Adventure & Nature Itineraries

For those who crave mountains, trails, and natural wonder:

  • 7-Day Yellowstone + Grand Teton Road Trip (based on my 3 visits)

  • Backpacking Patagonia (El Chaltén to Torres del Paine)

  • The Alps by Train (Switzerland, Austria, Italy)

I don’t just Google a few stops and stitch them together. These itineraries come from personal experience…driving the roads myself, staying in these hotels, doing the hikes, figuring out where to eat, and building in time to breathe.

Every guide balances bucket list highlights with offbeat local finds, so you get the full experience without the overwhelm.
