Hi, my name is Marisa and I am obsessed with travel. I constantly seek out new adventures, whether they are abroad or local, and I am always the first one to jump on a new trip.
I am fortunate/cursed to live in Alexandria, Virginia with two crazy cats. It’s wonderful to be in an area with so many amazing restaurants, wineries, museums, and culture, but the traffic around here can be brutal. To me, there’s nothing quite as thrilling as finding a new place, discovering hidden gems, trying a new cuisine, and learning about another culture. When I am not off jet setting to a new destination I spend my time with family, friends, exploring the local area, getting all the #sweetgainz at Crossfit, and planning my next adventure.
There’s very little that I love more than planning a trip, you might say I have an addiction. Please join me on my adventures as I travel around the world, find new local spots, check off more items on my bucket list, and try as many amazing restaurants, wineries and bars as humanly possible. My goal is to provide a place to inspire you to seek out new adventures, try a new restaurant, or explore a destination that would never have been on your radar before. Follow along with me while I share travel tips, info on local events, and new restaurant recommendations. Traveling to new places does not have to be a goal for some far-off future or crazy expensive. Need help planning a trip, but don’t know where to start? I’ll be your travel spirit guide!
I love coffee, lifting heavy things, finding the best travel deals, and I never say no to champagne. Join me and let me help you live your best travel and food life!
