Midwest

20 posts

Our founder, Kara Harms, hails from Wisconsin and even though she now lives in California, she has a big love for her home state. We love to showcase Midwest travel ideas at all seasons! From sipping cherry wine by Lake Michigan to kayaking lake superior, hiking one of the name state parks and national parks, to getting cozy in the wintertime in a woodsy cabin – these are the best of Midwest living.
