Why I Love Exploring My Own City (Backyard Travel)

I’m chatting about the idea of backyard travel — finding adventure close to home. For years, I thought travel had to mean flights, passports, and big bucket list trips. But I’ve learned that exploring your own city, your own neighborhood, even your own backyard can bring the same sense of joy and discovery. If you’ve been craving travel but don’t have the time, money, or energy for a big trip, this mindset might be exactly what you need. 💌 Join My Mini Monday Pep Talks & Newsletter Get a short & sweet (under 5 min) voice note every Monday with motivation, real talk & life lessons—straight to your inbox.
