My name is Mikey – I’m a 29-year-old from Birmingham, Alabama, who has more than just a passion for traveling, but a desire to spread my love of travel to help and encourage others.
What does that mean?
It means sharing any and all helpful information about places across the world. From curated itineraries, to where to eat, to where to stay, and what to know before going. I created this blog to do all of the above, and hopefully, to inspire you to visit some places you hadn’t considered visiting.
My Specialization: Hidden Gems and Alternative Destinations
In a time where overtourism has become a legitimate challenge for many frequently visited countries, there’s never been a better time to think outside of the box for choosing where to travel.
This doesn’t mean sacrificing enjoyment just for the sake of going somewhere a little less exotic or crowded. Instead, it means finding the spots that have remained authentic and offer something different, and hopefully even better.
Some of my recent trips include:
- 2 Weeks in Romania
- 5 Days in El Salvador
- 10 Days in Hungary
- 2 Days in Zagreb
- 10 Days in Newfoundland
- 10 Days in Colombia
A few of my all-time favorite places include:
- Newfoundland, Canada
- Vis, Croatia
- Chicago, Illinois (not off-the-beaten-path, I know!)
- Transylvania, Romania
- Jardin, Colombia
