👋 Hi! I’m Kristen!
I’m a teacher in Connecticut and spend every free weekend exploring the best hikes, charming small towns, scenic drives, and dog-friendly adventures across New England.
I truly believe we live in the most beautiful part of the country. And right here in Connecticut we have SO MANY scenic hikes and towns. After years of exploring and hundreds of miles on the trail I’ve created this site to help you discover places that make Connecticut and New England so special!
