I’ve lived in Minnesota for the majority of my life, and I’m still discovering new places thanks to this map! Kristen has done such an amazing job curating so many wonderful options across so many different categories, from the Twin Cities to beyond. What I love most is being able to plan a full day out by combining multiple spots together. The research and intentionality behind this project is truly inspiring. If you love exploring Minnesota, this is a must-have!

I’ve lived in Minnesota my whole life and still found spots in Kristen’s guide I’d never heard of. 458 places is wild, but what makes it actually useful is the range. North Shore hikes, small-town restaurants, places to stay that aren’t just the obvious chain hotels. I’ve been pulling this up every time someone asks me where to go for a weekend trip. If you’re visiting the state or you live here and want to actually explore it, this is the best guide I’ve found!

Kristen has definitely done her market research. I’d trust her recommendation on any sort of travel excursion because I know she’s speaking from experience. If you want to try some adventures that are unique and fun, be sure to get her guide. I’m very excited to checkout some of these places this summer!
