Over the past 8+ years as a full-time travel blogger, I’ve explored 47 U.S. states, visited 30+ national parks, and traveled through countless regions across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
I’ve walked the streets of major cities like New York, Vancouver, Montreal, Mexico City, Chicago, and LA, and also road-tripped through lesser-known towns, stayed in cabins deep in the woods, soaked in natural hot springs, and surfed remote coastal breaks. This category is where all those adventures come together.
Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventure, cultural city breaks, beach escapes, or unique places to stay, this is where you’ll find the best of North America…backed by real experience.

I’ve spent time in nearly every major metro on the continent, including Boston, Toronto, Austin, Oaxaca, Quebec City, Seattle, and beyond.
