Look About Lindsey

Look About Lindsey Hi there! I'm Lindsey - a Minnesota-based travel writer. If you want to learn about hidden gems in y

As you've probably guessed, my name is Lindsey - a born and raised Minnesota blogger who lives in Minneapolis with my favorite person (and hubby) Cole. When I’m not living the corporate life during the week, I spend my free time exploring everything from my North Loop neighborhood to destinations overseas - and this is where you can find all the details! For the last few years, I've been jumping o

n a plane or taking a road trip any chance I can get, so I thought, why not write about it? I truly believe travel and new experiences shouldn’t be dreamt about as "someday” but should instead be something that’s part of your everyday life. So, no matter where you reside, take some time to look at what's around you differently. There's always something unique about it that you can't find anywhere else in the world! Follow along with me to learn realistic new ideas for travel near and far! I hope my experiences inspire you to find the hidden gems in your small town or book that next flight...all while on a budget and working full time!

📍 Sigmund Thun Klamm, Austria

The hike through the gorge takes about 15 minutes (there is a fee to enter the gorge), then walk another 10 to see the most blue lake Klammsee. There you’ll find a playground and little restaurant for food, snacks, and drinks called Klammseestüberl.

A great option with kids!

Hello Austria!!! 🇦🇹 An amazing first day after a not so amazing travel experience. Lost bags, delayed trip, but we finally made it!

Austria’s been on the bucket list to travel with little kids ever since we had Ro. This hike had fun stops along the way for kids to play at and look forward to. Also plenty of spots with b**r gardens and playgrounds along the way. My ideal day!!

Our second time here and love it even more!!

Cove Point Lodge is located on the North Shore of Lake Superior in Beaver Bay, Minnesota. A little over 3 hours from the Twin Cities.

Choose from rooms in the main lodge to entire cottages - all overlooking Lake Superior and so gorgeous!

They also have bike and e-bike rentals to explore the neighboring Gitchi-Gami State Trail.

Last time we stayed in the fall and highly recommend that too!!
