🍁 Discover New England Like a Local
Hidden Gems, Cozy Escapes & Epic Seasonal Adventures
I’ve spent my entire life—31 years—living, exploring, and road-tripping around New England. As a full-time travel blogger and born-and-raised local, I know this region inside and out. I’ve wandered every corner of Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, and Connecticut…in all four seasons.
This section is where I share the real New England, from quiet mountain towns and coastal drives to glamping spots, farm stays, and fall foliage routes most tourists never find.

🛶 My Favorite Places (That You Won’t Find in a Guidebook)
-
Mad River Valley, Vermont – The perfect blend of small-town charm, stunning foliage, and year-round adventure.

White Mountains, New Hampshire – I visit several times a year for hiking, cabins, and waterfalls.

Coastal Maine – From quiet islands to lobster shacks and sea cliffs, it’s endlessly scenic and still wildly underrated.

🏡 Where to Stay
I’ve personally vetted dozens of glamping spots, boutique hotels, and off-grid cabins. If it’s featured here, it has character, comfort, and a damn good view.
🍂 What to Do Each Season
Whether you’re leaf-peeping, hitting ski trails, blueberry picking, or chasing Christmas lights, my seasonal guides break it all down with local tips and photo-worthy spots.
Why Trust My Guides?
Because I don’t just visit New England…I live here.
