Ohio is filled with hidden natural and cultural treasures, and Zoar Ohio is one of them. In fact, it’s one of the best things to see in Ohio before you die. The historic Village of Zoar, settled in 1817 by a group of German Separatists, remains almost untouched from its original state. These days, it…
I love heights. I love being up high and seeing things look smaller down below. I’ve been on the hunt for the best scenic views in Ohio, and I’ve been finding places I’ve never heard of the entire time I’ve lived here. I’ve been reading from fellow Ohio bloggers. I’m so glad there are people…

As you’re 150% aware, we’ve been under stay-at-home orders and restricted rules for social distancing. We’re still allowed outside (yay!) so we’ve been visiting a few not-so-well-known parks and nature preserves for some hiking, as well as canoeing on the open water. This has been a welcome way to get fresh air and some exercise,…
If you’re looking for a day trip from Columbus with equal parts food, outdoors and indoors, may I suggest Toledo Ohio? We’ve been here many times, but we just went to Toledo this winter for a full day, and it did not disappoint! Overview The total drive time was 5 hrs. 30 min. We selected…
The Ohio State Fair is nostalgic for me as an Ohio baby. We went as kids and teenagers, enjoying the food, rides, and concerts. My sister even worked at the pork stand in high school. It’s been a while since I’ve been, so I was excited to see if it was how I remembered it…

Living in Columbus, Ohio, smack dab in the middle of the state, means we are centrally-located enough to drive to…
My sister and I went on some of my favorite day hikes in Ohio. All of these hikes are less than an hour and a half from Columbus, and they offer some incredible views. Like most good Ohioans, I’ve been to Hocking Hills a number of times. I’m always amazed at how pretty it is. …
Dubbed “Southeastern Ohio’s Scenic Wonderland”, the Hocking Hills are a great destination in Ohio. If you’re from Columbus, it’s hard to beat the 1-hr drive. We went a few weekends ago to enjoy the fall foliage. Even though it wasn’t quite peak yet, we still had a great time. Glenlaurel Inn This place was dreamy. …
Fall in Ohio is beautiful. Â The changing leaves, the crisp air, the pumpkin festivals, the bon fires… it’s a beautiful time. Â I’ve been insanely busy with life right now, so a few day trips to some places in Ohio to enjoy the season has been a much-needed refresher! I thought I’d share just a few…
Toledo surprised me. I wasn’t expecting to see so many cool buildings. We weren’t there long, but it was impressionable enough for me to write up a day-trip recommendation for the city. We stopped here overnight on the way to Michigan for a long weekend of fun, sun, and Lake Michigan. We stopped here…

I’ve written out a small sample of our day for your enjoyment and travel inspiration. There’s a…
I went to Miami last year around this time of the year, and soaked up the rays and enjoyed the peaceful sounds of nature. Â We stayed right by a river in Little Haiti and enjoyed the peacefulness of ducks swimming. Â Traveling to warm places in the dead of winter is most definitely a perk. Â However,…
