Where to Travel in September

For many destinations, September is the best month to travel. The global transition to shoulder season often means fewer tourists, more affordable travel, and still have the benefit of decent weather.

Solo Female Travel in Cusco, Peru

Peru was on my travel bucket list for a long time. Ever since learning about Machu Picchu, I dreamed of making my way to the Peruvian mountaintop ruins. I was naturally a little nervous to travel alone, especially with my vision and hearing challenges. By overcoming my fears of solo female travel in Cusco, Peru, I made my Machu Picchu dream a reality! I spent ten days exploring the towns, mountains, and countryside of Peru.

The Perfect One Week Morocco Itinerary

Prior to visiting Morocco, I usually planned my trips in great detail. Without a doubt, this habit was partly driven by my sincere passion for travel planning. Another motivation was my desire to not have to “waste time” trying to figure out my next activity while on my actual trip. I always dreamed of just landing somewhere and seeing where my adventures would take me. Morocco was the first time, although not entirely spontaneous, that I spent little time planning and booking things in adv[...]

A Weekend Road Trip to Huntsville, Alabama

Raised in New England, much of the southern United States is still uncharted territory for me.
