Did someone say something about fun things to do around New Orleans? My hometown?! Playing tourist is something that I grew up doing. From riding the St. Charles Streetcar to perusing the French Quarter Flea Market, my love for exciting activities in my city has not waned as I have become an adult.

New Orleans is one of the most special cities in the world, and I don’t say that because I’m from here. To many, it’s a dream, a haven, a safe space, and home.

8 Things to Do in Kauai Booking a trip to Hawaii was an emotional decision for me. My trip to Paris and London in 2020 had been canceled due to COVID, and the whole next year I was a little lost as to what to do next regarding a big trip. I took some local trips, which were fantastic, Ocean …
