travel guides

i thought that i was the queen of google maps but…. i didn’t know about the most game changer thing ever. tags. thank you mom for the tik tok video i’m about to link so you guys can get your life changed as well. i love to be oh so very organized in my travel plans and this was the number one thing i could’ve dreamed of. now instead of scrolling through my 600 place long “california- want to go list” i can search by tag and distance!!! sweet heaven.

PS I ADD TO THESE LISTS ALMOST DAILY, SOME MORE THAN OTHERS. ALL ARE FROM WORD OF MOUTH, PERSONALLY TRYING, OR SEEING ONLINE

life changing tik tok
