Door County, Wisconsin

Door County, Wisconsin

When you think picturesque fall leaves, Door County is what you should imagine! This county is located in the north eastern corner of the state. The best time of the year to visit is September and October. Small villages and quaint main streets wrapped around by nature's beauty, make this county a weekend getaway destination. It's about a five hour drive from the Twin Cities or a four hour drive from Chicago. Having a car or biking is a must!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi, I’m Emily. I have been an avid female solo traveler most of my adult life. I have traveled to over 27 countries, on four continents, as well as lived in three countries, and tried to learn two other languages. I studied in Chile for a semester in college. I lived in Ecuador for a year, learning Spanish and teaching English. More recently, I was living and teaching in Sweden, and also trying to learn Swedish. I love to explore places off the beaten path, creating my own itineraries, and making connections with the locals. I currently live in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I am a true Minnesotan at heart and enjoy being a local tourist in my home state. I am a travel agent, teacher, dog-walker, and notary public! I am excited to share my experiences, recommendations, and ideas for the places I have traveled. I am a travel agent and my small business is called Postcards Travel. I can book and plan for all types of vacations for all types of people.
