Hi, I’m Erica and I’m on a mission to explore America. As the founder of Tales of Exploration, I couldn’t help but notice the influx of international travel smeared across Instagram over the past five years. The allure was incredible, sure. But the price tag? Awful. This all fell during the same period when I ventured to Hawaii and Alaska. Um, hi exotic destinations that don’t require a passport. The beauty to be found in our own back yard is like a bottomless well of resources.
There’s no need to go global to experience enriching cultures or live life adventurously. The incredible stories and histories behind American travel destinations will astonish you. But first you have to find those sweet spots. You know the ones: the stellar Airnbs, hot springs, and small towns. That’s where I come in. Join the journey as Erica Explores America. Yes, I just referred to myself in the third person. Ew.
