Georgia Safari Conservation Park
Many years ago when I worked in Madison, the seat of Morgan County that sits about 60 miles east of Atlanta, there were rumors of a safari park in the works. We didn’t really know what that meant, other than relying on our own assumptions that it would involve animals and likely encompass a pretty […]
A Foggy Day to Len Foote Hike Inn
While many Georgians know about the beautiful Amicalola Falls and the start of the Appalachian Trail in Dawsonville, many don’t know that nestled between these two destinations is another beautiful landmark: The Len Foote Hike Inn. This lodge in the woods is an amazing blend of hiking trail accommodation and conservation education, making it an […]
A Nature Enthusiast’s Daytrip to Lake Lanier
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always loved the water whether it was a waterfall, the beach, a creek, a lake or even a random stream. It has always been my safe place where the sounds of the tide or current cancel out the outside noise and I can sit and think. The only […]
A Ladies’ Escape to Lake Blackshear
You’ve been asked to go on a girls’ trip—quick, what do you envision? A pampered weekend at the spa? Nights out on the town? Vineyards and brunches? I know what probably didn’t come to mind—shooting ranges, alligators, and trains! But that’s exactly what a recent trip to Lake Blackshear with my lady friends consisted of, […]
5 Reasons Why Kingsland Should Be On Your Georgia Bucket List
If you’ve ever taken I-95 to Florida and back, you’ve probably stopped at the Georgia welcome center just across the border from Kingsland in St. Marys, if only to stretch your legs and use the facilities.

Multicultural Dining in Johns Creek
In my opinion, no trip is complete without indulging in some seriously delicious meals. Travel is all about relaxing, discovering new cultures, seeing amazing sights, and let’s be real, eating. And doing a lot of it. It’s undeniable that food brings us together in ways nothing else can, especially when it allows us to get […]

Georgia Obscure
Georgia is a hotspot for tourists who come to experience popular attractions ranging from the World of Coca Cola and the Georgia Aquarium to the historic Savannah forts and other iconic places.

Springs, Falls, & Muscadine Summers
Growing up, summers for me meant visiting the family farm in Forsyth (that’s the town just north of Macon, not the county north of Atlanta!). Fishing with my grandfather, four-wheeling with my dad, gardening with my grandma, eating wild muscadines and watching the sun go down from the porch rocking chairs… The TV only had […]
Doghobble Wine Farm
Before I went to Doghobble Wine Farm, I was apathetic about wine. I would enjoy a glass with friends and family if there was an open bottle, but immediately go back to my comfort zone of cocktails and the occasional beer. I tended to avoid wineries, but Doghobble feels like something completely different. 15 minutes […]
