Trip Itineraries
Real Trips, real Details
These itineraries are based on places I’ve actually visited—planned with intention, paced for enjoyment, and full of helpful takeaways.
Whether you’re heading out for a quick weekend or a longer adventure, you’ll find ideas to borrow, routes to follow, and honest notes on what worked (and what I’d tweak next time).
I’ve got a map for that
If there’s one thing I rarely travel without, it’s a custom Google Map. I pin every stop—like coffee shops, viewpoints, and lunch spots—so you can see how it all fits together.
It’s one of my favorite ways to make a trip feel easy, even in a brand new place.

A Few Things About My Itineraries
01. I’ve actually been to every place I write about.
These aren’t generic roundups—I share real trips we’ve taken, with honest notes on what worked, what I’d change, and what I’d do again.
02. They’re flexible by design.
I don’t plan every hour, and I don’t think you should either. My itineraries are meant to guide—not box you in.
03. Timing and pacing matter.
I build each itinerary around natural flow, downtime, and logistics that make sense (no backtracking across town five times a day!).
04. I love to include Google Maps.
Most itineraries include a custom map with pinned stops, walking routes, and notes—so you can easily make it your own.
05. I focus on what felt good.
My goal isn’t just to fill your time—it’s to help you create a trip that feels fun, easy, and memorable in the best way.
