About Me

Hiking in the Rocky Mountains!

Hey there, road tripper! I’m Teresa — your go-to guide for budget-friendly, bucket-list-worthy road trip adventures.

I’m a Michigan native (from the Thumb!) who caught the travel bug during childhood camping trips. That spark turned into a lifelong mission: in 2023, I proudly checked off my 50th state — Alaska — and I’m still chasing new horizons.

Since then, I’ve explored every state, visited 350+ National Park Service sites, and crafted hundreds of road trip itineraries that balance adventure with real-life budgets.

My travel style? Smart, intentional, and full of personality — think hiking boots one day, quirky roadside attractions the next.

Now, I’m on a quest to visit every US State capitol and uncover the hidden gems scattered across this country. And I want to help you do the same, minus the stress and second-guessing.

When I’m not exploring new roads, I’m at home baking something delicious, working on a DIY project, or dreaming up your next road trip challenge.

Stick around, grab a freebie, and come hang out in the US Road Trip Adventures Facebook Group — I’d love to help you turn your someday trip into a mapped-out reality.

You can also join me on my journey by connecting on Instagram and watching my YouTube content!
