Hi I’m Kerri!

Walt Disney once said, “To all who come to this happy place….Welcome.”

He of course was referring to Disneyland as he welcomed guests through its gates for the first time, on the park’s opening day back in 1955. 

A lifelong Disney fan myself, it seemed fitting that I use his words to welcome you for the first time to my blog:

Always Grab a Map!

A travel and tourism blog dedicated to sharing micro-adventures from my travels throughout Massachusetts, the beautiful region of New England, and (when life allows) beyond.

I’ll admit I’m not what many would call a “world class traveler”….at least not yet. 

In fact my passion for travel and tourism has taken a back seat in my life over these past few years.

Instead I’ve been focusing on things like trying to maintain a career and make sure the bills get paid on time, as I’m sure many of you reading can relate. 

Through all of this though, I’ve realized how valuable what little free time we have in our lives is and how we should be spending it on the things we love most.

It is with this realization I wanted to finally start Always Grab a Map. 

To rediscover my love for travel, and help incorporate it back into my daily life.

So whether you’re a local like me or a first-time visitor to the area, if you’re looking for ideas on the best places to go and things to see and do primarily in the Northeast, you’ve come to the right place.

Head on over to the About page to learn more!

I also invite you all to follow along with Always Grab a Map on Instagram as well, to stay up to date on the latest adventures:

If I’m being honest, the thought of ever FINALLY starting my blog seemed impossible to me. 

Yet it was Walt Disney who also said, “It’s kind of FUN to do the impossible.” 

So here’s to you Walt, not let’s have some fun!

Kerri
