Unless you live in the Midwest, in which case I don’t blame you for going further.
I have been doing a lot of vacationing “at home” this year and it’s been a blast. Helps that it’s been the warmest summer in recorded history (as long as I don’t think about it too hard).
Going abroad and discover other cultures and climates is great and all, but it’s so easy to miss how great it can be close to home or just a few hours by train.
My colleague insists on always flying abroad “tickets are so cheap!” When we live in one of the most scenic country on the planet.

Im from the Midwest but moved in my twenties. Rediscovering the Midwest when I travel home to visit has been great.
Last time I was there I ate my first mayapple. They just grow there and are a tasty fruit you cant buy in the store. Most locals haven’t even ate one because of it isnt in the grocery store it might as well not exist for most people.
Next up is a pawpaw. I can’t wait. I’ve already been watching tree identification guides.

Aye, that was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment. I was hoping someone would pop by to correct me!
