May 31, 2019 |

A dog and its owner look sit and relax on the grass overlooking a beach scene.

This post is sponsored by Nomador, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Being a pet owner AND a travel addict may sound like a contraction in terms, but that needn’t be the case. Hiring a fellow travel enthusiast as in-home pet-sitter is an easy way to schedule frequent adventures while ensuring your pets stay safe and happy at home. It's also an incredible way to save money for travel! If you find this post helpful, please share this image on Pinterest. How to Find a Pet … [Read more...]

Instagram Addicts: Here’s Your List of the Best Murals in Savannah

May 30, 2019 |

Even though Savannah is better known for having cobblestone streets than spray painted walls, there ARE colorful murals to be found -- if you know where to look! We tracked down the most well-known options and included a few hidden gems that are slightly off the beaten path. Prepare to venture beyond the Historic District for this little scavenger hunt, because the most Instagrammable murals in Savannah aren't located within (comfortable) walking distance of River Street.

The Best Places to Stay in Savannah Near River Street

May 23, 2019 |

The setting sun adds a warm glow to the pink stucco entry at Savannah's Olde Harbour Inn.

When I tell people I live in Savannah, the next words I typically hear are: "You're so lucky!" -- usually followed by a smattering of questions about the best places to eat and a discussion regarding whether or not the city is haunted. Finally, good friends ask when they can visit and strangers inquire about where to stay in the Historic District. I thought it was about time I compiled a list of the best places to stay in Savannah near River Street, since it's the city's most well-known … [Read more...]

Savannah is pet-friendly to the max, so I've rounded up a handy list of dog-friendly restaurants and the top "must-try" dishes at each location.

To use it, drop a quarter in the slot next to the month you were born and the scale will show your current weight, plus a fortune 🔮 I had fun with it and dropped a ton of quarters in just to read the various messages. My favorite one said “More church and fewer nightclubs would help you” 😂😆 (And this is why I love taking the backroads when I travel!)

This tiny house is actually a museum — and one w This tiny house is actually a museum — and one well-worth visiting! The King-Tisdell Cottage is named after its former owners and is chock full of African-American history from the 1800s to present time. It’s located in the Historic District. (Sorry it’s not the best shot since I took it midday - but it’s one of my favorite tiny houses so I had to post it!) Oh, and that’s a horse hitch on the sidewalk beside the gate 😊
Savannah is jam-packed with houses, so that means Savannah is jam-packed with houses, so that means you’ll often find multiple homes on one lot. The larger homes face the streets and the carriage houses and tiny homes face the lanes, aka: back alleyways. Let me tell ya, there are some really cute homes down some of those lanes! 💙💙💙

Also, please note that this house has a welcome mat so guests can wipe their feet before entering the backyard. Naturally I’m VERY curious about that🤔🧐 Is this a common thing? Please discuss 😂
I have so many thoughts about this building. Too m I have so many thoughts about this building. Too many to list! For now I’ll just say it’s a shame that it sits empty when it has so much potential. (And someday when I’m all fired up I’ll probably go on a big rant about it 😂) It looks very much like Savannah’s own version of The White House, don’t you think?
