A trip to Niagara Falls is a bucket-list trip for many, and for good reason! We recently visited both the Canadian side and the United States (New York) side - each offers unique highlights! 

While Niagara Falls is an easy day trip from either Toronto, Canada or Buffalo, New York, I recommend an overnight (or two) so you can explore several attractions and enjoy Niagara Falls at night. Here are a few tips and suggestions to make the most of your visit!

If you already planned the major components of your trip, but need a little support researching where to eat, drink, and spend your limited time — this is the service for you!

I'll tailor a list of recommendations based on:

- Length of trip
- Season
- Reason for travel 
- Group vs. solo traveling
- Your preferred activities and dietary requests
- Budget
- Plus other personal preferences shared with me in advance! 

What do you like to do while on a trip (i.e. visit a museum, bar crawl, hike, etc)

Do you have any dietary restrictions or aversions?

What is your budget for food and drinks? If you don't have a hard number, you can use this scale: $ (affordable), $$ (moderate), or $$$ (spendy).

What is your budget for activites? If you don't have a hard number, you can use this scale: $ (affordable), $$ (moderate), or $$$ (spendy).

Will you be traveling with a group or solo?

If in a group, how many people are traveling with you?

What is your favorite thing you've done on a similar trip?

Anything else I should about how you like to travel or your expectations for this list?

Looking to get away but have absolutely no idea where you want to go? Do you want to experience nature, or are you looking for a city break? Are you into sports and want to plan a trip around the American sports seasons? Let's connect, figure out what you're looking for in a trip, and pick a few destination options for your next holiday.

When there are so many options, picking a destination sometimes can be the most difficult part. Together we can talk about what you normally like to do on a trip and where your interests lie, and we can narrow down the list, whether or not you have some places in mind or haven't even started thinking of them. Then you can start planning your trip with just a few destinations in mind, or we can take it on together from there with one of my other services.

What do you normally like to do when you travel?

Do you want to get off the beaten path, do something familiar, or something in between?

So you want to tour the United States based on the American sports season? Then you've come to the right place. As both an amateur athlete and avid sports fan, I've been planning these kinds of trips for myself the past few years in pursuit of visiting every Major League Baseball stadium. I've also three planned trips abroad for the Women's World Cup the past 12 years.

Sports are an important part of experiencing the local culture. You get to see different traditions, big names, and varying levels of competition. Sports are one of the things that bring people of all different backgrounds together.

With this custom itinerary, I will design a trip so that you can see some of your favorite US teams or players (dependent on the time of year you are traveling), as well as visit the city and surrounding area for that sport. For example, you can visit New York City, see the Rangers one day, the Knicks the next, and the PWHL NY team later that week while visiting the Empire State Building and Times Square in between. 

(Please note that I can only make suggestions for purchasing tickets and cannot secure them on your behalf, but I will give you several resources to do so.)

Do you have a driver's license/are willing to drive? Or do you require public transportation?

What are your favorite sports? Are there any teams or sports you don't want to miss? (This requires you to be flexible on when you visit.) These can be either women's or men's sports (or both!).

If you have a favorite team, do you only want to see a home game?

Are there any places you don't want to travel to? 

If you live outside of the United States, will this be your first time visiting?

Do you want a big city, smaller city, or something in between?

What other activities do you like to do when you travel? Do you like art & museums, history, breweries, walking around, etc?

What month are you planning on doing this itinerary? (This dictates what sports are available.)

When you come to the United States, there are so many things to do. You can explore the National Parks system, partake in intercity travel, or visit the big cities. Sometimes destinations don't seem like they have too many things to do, and other times the list can be overwhelming. 

Here is where I come in. If you aren't into making lists or doing any research, I will take care of all of that for you. As a nature, city, history, and craft beer lover, I can point you in the general direction of things to do, or I can make you a very specific list based on any given interest. I absolutely love researching all that a destination has to offer, experiencing it firsthand, and then suggesting my favorites to others.

What do you like to do when you travel? Relax? Explore? See museums? 

Will you be driving a vehicle? Or will you be using public (metro, buses, planes) and private (Uber, etc) transportation only?

What time of year are you planning on traveling?
