The Ultimate Arizona Road Trip⁠
Arizona is famous for The Grand Canyon, but the entire state is full of must-visit destinations. ⁠
⁠
The best way to explore Arizona is on a road trip that will take you through jaw-dropping national parks, stunning deserts, vibrant cities, and one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world.⁠
⁠
Discover the best two-week Arizona road trip at the link in my bio!

Off-The-Beaten-Path National Parks To Visit⁠
National parks are some of the most visited destinations in the United States. This is especially true for popular parks such as Yosemite, Acadia, and the Great Smoky Mountains. ⁠
⁠
While national parks are massive, open spaces, overcrowding can still be an issue. So, to avoid some of the crowds, I’ve rounded up lesser-known national parks that are worth a trip. Find out which ones you should visit at the link in my bio!

10 Places To Visit in Arizona (That Aren't The Grand Canyon)⁠

-Tucson⁠
-Lake Powell⁠
-Scottsdale/Phoenix⁠
-Lake Havasu⁠
-Saguaro National Park⁠
-Route 66⁠

⁠
Arizona is home to some of the best national parks, deserts, cities, and road trips in the country. So, before or after you visit the Grand Canyon, I highly recommend exploring more of the state.

Sedona, Arizona, is one of the best small towns in the Southwest U.S. It's famous for its red rock formations, hiking, wellness retreats, and vortexes - swirling energy centers for healing, meditation, and self-exploration.⁠
⁠
At the link in my bio, I've rounded up the best activities, hotels, vacation homes, restaurants, and hikes in Sedona to help you plan an incredible trip!

How To Be Confident Traveling Solo⁠
The number one thing you need when you're traveling solo is confidence. YOU CAN DO THIS! But you don't gain confidence overnight. Confidence is a result of encouragement, knowledge, practice, and support.⁠
⁠
That's why my blog is full of solo travel safety tips, destinations, and advice. Learn my best strategies for traveling solo at the link in my bio!

How To Travel Without Contributing To Overtourism⁠
Tourism can be very beneficial. It can bring economic growth, help conserve critically endangered species, and allow historical restoration. But tourism can also be harmful, and when tourism harms a destination, it’s known as overtourism. ⁠
⁠
Overtourism is happening everywhere, from developed and developing countries to urban and rural communities to wilderness areas and national parks. This isn’t a new concept, but recently, the travel industry has become more aware and conscientious of overtourism.⁠
⁠
I’m not saying you shouldn’t travel—I travel more than most people. But I am saying that, when possible, we need to travel in ways that minimize our travel footprint.⁠
