Julie Forthman

Hello! I’m Julie, and I have a deep passion for travel. I seize every opportunity to explore new destinations and, when I’m not traveling, I immerse myself in travel shows, blogs, vlogs, and books about captivating places. I love to spend my free time crafting plans for multiple trips at once.

While my wanderlust is boundless, my budget sometimes keeps my adventures closer to home. Rather than distant or international travels, I often opt for enriching weekend getaways and inventive staycations.

This website is dedicated to exploring. I’ll highlight charming destinations in Northwest Arkansas, Northeastern Oklahoma, and Southwestern Missouri. In addition I'll offer creative ideas for enjoying a "travel" experience right in your own backyard.
