Exploring the United States

While I love visiting Europe, sometimes I’m just in the mood for a fun trip a little closer to home and explore great cities in the United States.

I’ve lived in Arizona for longer than I’d like to admit. As a local, I’ve got lots of insight into the best things to do in Phoenix — like visiting the Heard Museum or the Desert Botanical Garden!

All my relatives live in Wisconsin (my folks were almost the only ones to leave the Midwest), so I’ve certainly got tips on how to spend a weekend in Milwaukee!

I also take a lot of cruises that leave from the US, so I’m happy to share information about the best Alaska cruise ports and what to see in Old San Juan on a cruise.
