A Visit to the Ohio State Reformatory
A few weeks back, my March adventure took me only as far as Mansfield Ohio.

A weekend in Nashville
I’ve been to Nashville, Tennessee a few times. Being just a six hour drive from Columbus, Nashville is a fairly easy road trip for a long weekend adventure.

Visiting Indiana Dunes National Park
My life goal has always been to travel the world. I want to see it all. Like for most people, COVID threw a wrench into those plans. But, COVID lockdowns also gave me the opportunity to start exploring things closer to home. The first summer of COVID I did all the National Parks in Utah …
Driving the Northern Ireland Coastal Causeway
After spending two weeks in Scotland, and three days in Belfast, I was off on my next road trip- driving the Coastal Causeway of Northern Ireland. I had no itinerary, just my rental car and the advice from every Northern Irish person I met. Many told me to stay clear of the freeway and keep …
Must-see Scotland: Castles
I recently spent two weeks driving around Scotland, and oh my goodness, I loved it so much! Towns I visited include Edinburgh, Inverness and Glasgow. I rented a car and drove the North Coast 500, explored the east coast, as well as the Isle of Skye. It’s all been amazing, and you can read my …
