My 2019 Travel Goals
It’s that time of the year again where I start putting together my travel plans. Here are four travel goals that I’d like to accomplish in 2019!
Top Places to Visit Along Minnesota’s North Shore
The North Shore is a spectacular place to visit and explore. From quaint towns to outdoor adventures, this area of Minnesota has a little something for everyone. Here are my top places to visit along Minnesota’s North Shore!
Grand Marais, Minnesota
Grand Marais is a must-see town on Minnesota’s North Shore. It has a population of just 1,400 people, it’s built on the shores of Lake Superior, and has a thriving artist community. I can’t wait to visit here again soon!
Northern Lifestyle
I currently reside in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, surrounded by the lakes and the woods. Canoeing, exploring, and hiking are a few of my favorite things.
Wisconsin Travel Destinations
I love discovering hidden gems around Wisconsin. Check out the places I’ve visited so far!
