Plan your trips with a 2025 Scenic Calendar!

Happy Holidays! One of my favorite traditions is making my scenic calendar. Since 2018, I've compiled my adventures into an annual calendar highlighting stunning locations across the country and beyond. This year is no different - and I actually think it's one of the best calendars I've produced. If you're looking to give a great gift or need a calendar to help plan your trips and get inspired, I would be honored if you chose mine. If you plan to give it as a gift, Wednesday, December 18th is the hard cut-off, as I'm unsure how quickly mail will arrive after that. Please note this on the Google form, as I'll be prioritizing those.

Feel free to ask me any questions and I'll and my...
I'm constantly reminded of the beautiful places Earth has to offer. In early April, I had a chance to spend nine days on Kauai with my fiancée's family, and my gosh, that place is amazing. Its unique microclimates, lush vs dry landscapes, and majestic coastlines make it a 'must-visit' in my book. (Stay tuned for next week's newsletter on how to visit and things to do.) But you also don't have to fly 3,000 miles to see beauty. You can walk the neighborhood as spring blooms unfold, or stroll in...
Happy first day of Spring and the NCAA Tournament. Today, I'm hanging out on the couch, watching copious amounts of basketball, and my perfect bracket is already finished... damn you, Louisville! In more personal news, I returned last night from Michigan after taking a last-minute flight out to see my godmother, who is dying from cancer. My mom and I were supposed to fly out next week, but my godmother's condition is worsening, and we wanted to see her before it was too late. It was a somber...
