Hi! I’m Lara! A forty-something traveler who snaps photos of food, geeks out over history, goes hiking and zip lining, and most importantly loves small towns! I’m on a mission to find the best small towns and what to do, where to stay, and where to eat. Hopefully my discoveries will inspire you to dream big and travel small!
