On the Coast
Weekend getaway ideas on the east coast / south in the United States to inspire your travel planning.
Some of the best food I've had in recent travels - from Miss Shirleys to Blue Moon Cafe and The Horse You Came In on Saloon.
Baltimore
I mean, you can never run out of things to do in NYC. I love visiting different boroughs on each weekend trip.
New York
For the best spooky, fall vibes. I recommend going in early November to beat the mass crowds. You can also commute in from Boston on the commuter rail to save some costs.
Salem
I did a girls trip in Charleston and loved it. It was the perfect mix of relaxing at the beach and going out at night on King Street.
Charleston
Perfect beach vibes and night life. This is where I'm having my bachelorette party!
St. Petersburg
Midwest
Weekend getaway ideas in the midwest of the United States to inspire your travel planning.
A midwest hidden gem with a great public market - West Side Market. I got the most delicious, mini cake here.
Cleveland
I would move here tomorrow if I could. My favorite destination in Michigan (as a local). Best winery goes to Chateau Chanel!
Traverse City
Make time to do sunrise at the Arch. This is the best thing I did while in St. Louis.
St. Louis
On a clear day, you can see the Chicago skyline from Indiana! I loved sitting by the beach to watch the sunset and the skyline looked even more gorgeous during the sunset.
Indiana Dunes National Park
I was surprised by how much I loved Minneapolis. I also felt extremely safe as a solo traveler.
Minneapolis
No. 1 island in the continental U.S. for a reason. Take it from someone who has been coming here since she was a child. Definitely make time to bike the island and see the beautiful blues of the lake.
Mackinac Island
For all the brewery and beach vibes. We spent most of our time on Lake Michigan during this trip. You can never get tired of the gorgeous blues in the summer.
Milwaukee
A true step back in time like no other in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I recommend booking a local, guided kayak excursion to truly experience Pictured Rocks.
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
West
Weekend getaway ideas in the west of the United States to inspire your travel planning.
Great for a hiking weekend getaway. The beauty of the outdoors welcomes rock climbers, paddlers, and mountain bikers.
Bend
I love Hood River during fall especially. The fall colors are gorgeous with the mountain peaking out from the background. The town is perfect to walk around and explore.
Hood River
A city to wander and get lost in - dipping in and out of dive bars and exploring Bricktown.
Oklahoma City
This National Park makes you feel like you're on a different planet with its unique beauty!
