Hello from the road! I’m Cheryl, a city girl at heart who chased my childhood dreams to Chicago and back. I currently split my time with my husband between our lake life in Michigan and the Chicago city life. Twenty years ago, for me exotic destinations only existed in Hollywood movies, or graced the pages of high end travel magazines. Exciting travel was not something that felt within reach. But one trip to Southeast Asia in 2018 changed everything. My husband and I were hooked! Now, we weave together luxury stays, concert travels, off-the-beaten-path adventures, and winery jaunts – all fueled by delicious food and a thirst for local life. We travel on credit card reward points, with friends, and sometimes by the seat of our pants, proving that anyone can do it!
This blog is your passport to turning wanderlust into wanderlusting. Forget those “someday” bucket lists! To quote one of my favorite musicians – “The future is no place to place your better days.”
I’m here to show you that travel is real, achievable, and bursting with adventures for all budgets and styles. Nervous about taking the plunge? No worries! My detailed guides, relatable stories, and travel savy tips will help you conquer those fears and chase your travel dreams. Come join me on this global odyssey – the world awaits! ✈️
