Cities I Visited in 2023

There will be a theme with a lot of these cities that the blog posts and podcasts will be coming out in 2024. I know a lot of these cities I was at prior to living in Europe, but I figured for those following along at home, they would want to see my adventures in Europe as close to real time as possible. So when I'm finally caught up on the European adventures, I shall sprinkle in some of these adventures from the United States!

Some of the cities, there may not even be blog posts at all, but figured they were worth mentioning. For any post you see coming in 2024, if you would like to hear anything specifically about those trips, please reach out to hieatexplorelove@gmail.com! We also will have some friends and family of mine joining me on the podcast in 2024! If you have a city you feel connected to, and you would like to join me on the podcast, let me know!

• Wilmington

  • Wilmington was an extended stay to help my grandparents out a little bit, see how they were doing, as well as spending quality time with them before I left for Europe for a few years. It was such a valuable time in my life that I'm forever grateful for. There will be a post about this time coming in 2024!

• Charleston

  • Got to spend a weekend in Charleston with my grandmother and we got to explore the not so beautiful parts of American history. We learned so much about not only history, but about ourselves and each other. Make sure to listen to our conversation about it when it comes out in 2024!

• Savannah

  • This was another fun weekend getaway my grandparents and I had together. We really enjoyed this artsy city! More to come on this, in 2024!

• NYC

  • This is my home city and will always enjoy my visits back. There will be plenty of blog posts to come about New York in 2024 and beyond!

• Cleveland

  • The city I go to visit family whenever I can. Can't wait for you guys to read about this in 2024!

• Orlando

  • Went to Orlando for a work trip and it's always nice to visit and see some sunshine! You guessed it, more to come from my trips over the years in 2024.

• Baltimore

  • There will not be a blog post about Baltimore in 2024, but I did enjoy my work trip there. Unfortunately, I didn't venture out beyond the Convention Center, but it was equally enjoyable.

• Boston

  • I went to Boston once as a little kid, and have gotten to go back twice in as many years! I have so many beautiful friends that live there and I cannot wait to talk about my love for this city next year!

• Charlotte

  • My grandmother and I had a girls trip to Charlotte and did some house hunting! We loved everything about Charlotte and this is the place I'm most excited to go and potentially live in the future!

• Verona
