After another year of adventure, I realized how many new places I explored not far from home. If you are looking for some travel destinations without the long-haul flight, check out some of my favorite spots right here in the US!
1. Get Artsy in Marfa
While it’s a bit of a trek through the West Texas desert, this quirky, charming town won’t leave you disappointed. In fact, the seclusion is part of what makes it so amazing. Marfa is somewhat of an art mecca and the Prada Marfa art installation is too cool not to miss!
