Happy Fourth of July! These are my recommendations for US destinations to explore the next time you're considering traveling domestically! As a travel writer, I get the opportunity to visit many locations in the US, and these are my absolute favorite...
The best spot for kayaking, and crystal clear blue waters 💙
Ocala, Florida
Extremely underrated, and an affordable destination with fantastic food, and one of the best art museums around!
Buffalo
A fantastic destination for history, buffs, and beer lovers
Boston
I couldn't not mention, New York City! If you've never been, embrace the tourist attractions, but if you're a repeat visitor, consider going to underrated destinations, like the Tenement Museum or Koreatown.
New York
Some of the friendliest people I've ever met are from here, and some of the best food I've ever ever had, I ate here.
Fort Lauderdale
I know many people prefer the more nature focused Islands, but Oahu gives you the best of both worlds
Welcome to Oʻahu - Hawaii
I love this town for its historical value, and outright preppiness 😂
Newport
Fantastic food, great music, and the best ghost tour I've ever been on!
Memphis, TN
A small island off the coast of Southern California with some amazing art deco architecture and Mediterranean Island vibes
Santa Catalina Island
Best of beer, coffee, and gem hounding the US has to offer! Fantastic soul food and underrated nightlife
Charlotte
Low country living if you want to have that “Where the Crawdads Sing”, beachside, water-filled, and shrimp lovin' vacation
Pawleys Island
Charming small town in the Berkshires with a forgotten Gilded Age history that rivals Newport, RI
Lenox
Steeped in history, charming federalist architecture, and fun attractions, Salem is fantastic year-round but particularly in the summer and fall
Salem, MA
Don't sleep on Omaha! Delicious food, vibrant small businesses, and a developing tech hub
Omaha
My favorite Cape Cod destination for the best “Summer I Turned Pretty” vibes
