Freshly Unpacked: The Latest Escape
I'm a traveler and professional collector of boarding passes, hotel key cards, and plans that somewhat worked in the end.
I created everywhere, eventually to share the places I discover, the trips that go surprisingly well (and occasionally wrong), and the stories that make every journey memorable. You'll find destination guides, road trips, city escapes, travel mishaps, and the occasional strong opinion about airports, hotel pillows, and short scenic walks.
So come along for the ride!
There are epic trips to take, great stories to tell, and a very good chance we'll get a little lost along the way. That's usually where the fun starts.
