About Me.

Hi! I’m Julia — a travel-loving physical therapist assistant from Pennsylvania who believes that adventure doesn’t have to wait for retirement.

I work full time but love maximizing my PTO to explore new places, chase sunshine, and make unforgettable memories. What started as sharing Google Docs with friends has grown into this blog, where I share real-life itineraries, travel tips, and stories from the road.

You’ll often find me adventuring with my husband, Matt — my go-to travel partner for everything from national parks and scenic hikes to beach days and brewery stops. We created this blog so our friends (and you!) can easily recreate our trips, armed with the tips and tricks we’ve learned along the way. When we’re not exploring, I’m usually creating reels, organizing our next getaway, or planning our next adventure. I hope this blog helps you dream big, pack smart, and skip the stress so you can enjoy the best parts of your own adventures.
