Enjoy this travel journal of 350 (!!!) places, including: 🖼️ 42 Museums, Gardens, and Attractions ☕️ 50 Coffee Shops 🍽️ 99 Restaurants, Bakeries, and Food Trucks 🛏️ 38 Hotels, Bed & Breakfasts, and Airbnbs ✨ and a whole bunch more!

Memphis, TN

Memphis quickly became “home” when I moved to the Grind City for a year in 2016-2017, and then quasi-lived there as a commuter for two years. There was a tangible buzz to the city that I felt in my bones and still feel the moment I cross The Loop to visit. In many ways, I felt my personal growth and healing paralled the city’s resurgence over the last couple of years. Memphis is a city that doesn’t hide its scars. It truly embodies the slogan of its beloved Grizzlies: Grit and Grind. Memphis is full of creatives and risk-takers. A perfect blend of southern hospitality and big city anonymity. Here’s a few of my favorite places to frequent for a day or weekend trip, ranging from upscale meals to hole-in-the-wall soul food. Memphis is indeed on the rise.

So is it still possible to visit in a sustainable way? Well, that's what I am going to try and convince you in this guide, so that if you do choose to visit Mallorca, that you can do so in a way that will hopefully not be deterimental to the locals living there.
