Introduction

I have always enjoyed traveling.
I enjoy everything related to traveling, even planning for it...yes, PLANNING.  I will create itineraries and budgets for trips that I have no intentions to take anytime soon.  (I always plan to go eventually, but vacation days and budget limit the number of adventures I can take.)  I am already spending hours doing research for fun, so I thought I would share my findings so that other people can be inspired to travel, too!  I do not base my travel on budget alone.  I think of it more as value travel - getting the best experience for the best price!

Since I live in Columbus, OH all of my trips will be based from Columbus as the starting point unless stated otherwise.  I am always looking for new ideas on where to go.  I would love to hear other people's thoughts, suggestions, or questions.  If you are a local to one of my destinations, please comment and share some insight about great things to do while there! 

If you have a location or type of trip you are curious about then send me a message, and it may be the travel challenge for the week!
