Every June, social media fills up with passport stamps and turquoise water. And those trips are beautiful. But travel has always been a privilege, and not everyone can hop a flight this summer.

This one's for everyone staying a little closer to home.

This summer, my own travel list looks like this: a road trip to visit family in Illinois, a day trip with my team to Amish country, and our annual tradition of hitting an amusement park we've never been to before. No passport required. All of it counts.

The charm is in the small stuff. The antique shop you almost walked past. The diner with the hand-painted sign. The hiking trail someone mentioned offhand that turned out to be one of the prettiest walks you've ever taken.

You don't need a plane ticket for a real adventure. You just need to go.

I wrote a whole post about it on the blog. Link in the comments.
