I’ve always believed the best travel moments happen when you slow down enough to notice them. Explore, Sip, and Savor is where I document those moments—travel experiences shared solo, with my wife, or with our family—through the lens of place, food, and what’s in the glass. This site is part journal, part guide, and part reminder that how you experience a place matters just as much as where you go.
EXPLORE
Travel isn’t just about destinations—it’s about wandering, noticing, and letting a place unfold at its own pace. Explore focuses on cities, small towns, and neighborhoods, with an emphasis on what stood out, what surprised me, and what made each place feel distinct.
SIP
From coffee shops and cocktail bars to wineries and tastings, Sip is about the experience behind the drink. Many of these stories come from trips with my wife and focus on atmosphere, craftsmanship, and the moments that happen when you sit down, order something interesting, and slow things down.
SAVOR
Food has a way of anchoring travel memories. Savor highlights meals that linger—whether it’s a memorable breakfast, a great dinner, or something unexpected found along the way. These aren’t just reviews, but reflections on why certain meals stay with you long after the trip ends.
TRIP REPORTS
Trip Reports are the backbone of this site. Each one captures an entire weekend or vacation—where we went, what we ate, what we drank, and what stood out along the way. From there, individual experiences branch out into their own stories, creating a fuller picture of the trip as a whole.
Browse by Location
Our adventures, organized by place—so you can explore destinations by state, city, or neighborhood.
This site reflects how I travel now—curious, intentional, and increasingly drawn to experiences centered around food, wine, and shared moments. Whether you’re planning a trip, revisiting a favorite place, or simply enjoy thoughtful travel writing, I’m glad you’re here.
