A Weekend Guide to Huntsville, Alabama

When I briefly visited Huntsville, Alabama on a recent road trip, I very quickly realized I would have to come back and make Huntsville a full weekend destination. The historic North Alabama city has so much to offer; from food to art to science, Huntsville has no shortage of exciting adventures. While it is certainly possible to see some of Huntsville in a single day, I would recommend making an entire weekend out of your visit to the city. Even then, you still won't have time to do everything[...]

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.

10 Things To Do in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee

I love small USA towns. One main street with maybe a stop sign or two, a general store with an old fashioned gas station, and a few mom-and-pop shops run by locals whose families have stayed for generations. Well, maybe that’s not always the case, but at least it sure feels that way. Just under 40 minutes from Nashville and 15 minutes from historic Franklin is Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee. With no stoplight in sight, Leiper’s Fork is the epitome of small-town USA. Here are 10 things to do in[...]
