The West Coast and Pacific Northwest are tailor-made for an epic road trip. From California’s palm-lined boulevards to the forests of Oregon and the skyline of Seattle, you’ll find schools that range from laid-back beach vibes to tech-fueled innovation hubs. This route gives you not just a taste of campus life, but also unforgettable landscapes and city adventures.

The Midwest and South offer a mix of classic college-town charm and vibrant cultural hubs. Think Big Ten energy, barbecue breaks, and cities that blend Southern hospitality with world-class education. This is a route where Saturday football games and jazz nights feel just as important as the campus tours themselves.

The East Coast is where tradition meets buzz. Think ivy-draped lecture halls in New England, urban campuses where students balance internships with subway rides, and historic cities that double as classroom extensions. This stretch is packed with some of the world’s most recognizable schools—and plenty of less-intimidating (but equally exciting) options.

Whoever your team is, you have the chance this year to combine two of my favorite things - football, and traveling the globe! The NFL has been (not at all quietly), going global. For the 2025 season, a record-breaking seven regular season games will be played outside the US - spanning five countries, including debut games in Brazil, Ireland, Germany, and Spain. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking for a unique excuse to travel, this year’s NFL International Games offer the perfect reason to pack your jersey and passport. Fora and I have you covered in this guide about where to go and where to stay to see your favorite team. Who knows, I may just have to head to Brazil to see if Taylor shows up!

It will surprise exactly no one that I am a bougie traveler. I love a 5-star resort. I get giddy over an airline upgrade. I’ve been known to squeal (quietly... I’m still classy) over a perfectly appointed hotel bathroom with marble counters, fluffy robes, and flattering lighting. (A unicorn, truly.) But what if I told you that you don’t have to drop $500 - $1,000 a night to live your best travel life?

Choosing the right travel destination can be overwhelming with so many options out there. To make it easier, I’ve created a fun, personalized quiz that helps you find the destination that perfectly matches your travel style. Whether you’re after adventure, relaxation, or culture, this quiz will point you in the right direction!

Hawai’i was the site of MANY of my favorite vacations with Mike and the kids. Mike's parents spent time on Maui every February for over thirty years, and some of our first trips were visiting them.
