Raleigh Travel Guide

** This Raleigh Travel Guide was updated: 3/20/19

If you’ve been reading along for the last few months, you know that I went on a cross-state road trip throughout the state of North Carolina last fall. This is the third installment in my road trip coverage, all focusing on the beautiful city of Raleigh (and surrounding metro area!) I know quite a few people around my age that have picked up and moved to Raleigh, and I was excited to see what the hype was. The kind folks at Visit Raleigh put together an itinerary for me to explore the city, and I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun in a three-day period.

Best Places to Eat in Winston-Salem:

Over the last couple of years, I’ve gotten the opportunity to visit almost every major city in North Carolina, and to be honest? This state is packed with amazing food, southern hospitality, and incredible charm, and I fall in love with each visit!

Last month, we had the opportunity to visit Winston-Salem, NC for the first time, and we loved every second of our experience. Winston-Salem is a lot more than just a college town: it’s an incredibly hip, modern city, and it should 100% be on your radar if you’re a foodie! 

Here’s an ultimate weekend guide to the best places to eat in Winston-Salem if you’re planning a trip to Winston-Salem in the near future.

Travel Guide: A Weekend in Baltimore

Weekend in Baltimore featured by top US travel blogger Alicia Tenise
Weekend in Baltimore featured by top US travel blogger Alicia Tenise
** This Weekend in Baltimore travel guide was updated: 2/4/19

If you’ve followed me long enough, you’ve probably seen me claim both Baltimore and D.C. as my hometown. Confusing, right? Let me explain.

I was born in Baltimore and lived there until I was five, then I moved to Northern Virginia (aka the D.C. suburbs) with my mother. My dad and his entire side of the family still lived in Baltimore, and since the two cities aren’t that far from each other, I was always bouncing back and forth. My dad has worked at Baltimore City Hall for a couple of decades, so it was fun getting to visit him at work and experience the city. Baltimore has a lot more culture than the D.C. ‘burbs does, and I love that half of my family still lives there!

If you’re in the Mid-Atlantic and are looking for a fun weekend trip, Baltimore should be on your radar. I had the opportunity to work with Visit Baltimore to put together a full weekend trip for you guys — and now I’m counting down the days until my next Charm City visit!
