Traveling is a passion for us. Our goal is to showcase the wonders that can be found all across North America. While many of our visits focus on the United States, we also want to include our neighbors to the north and south. Our trip itineraries are usually jam-packed with a variety of sites. That will allow many options for you to choose from when you visit a destination. Sometimes we will happen upon a place that doesn’t make it into an article, but is worth noting. Most of these will be seen in our Instagram and Facebook “Stories”. Follow us on these social sites to see all of these special treats. It’s a great way to keep up with us as we wander around. Be sure to sign up for our emails to make sure you catch every article. Thanks for following along as we explore this big, blue marble we all call home!
