About Us

Welcome to Your Guide to Micro-Adventures

Hello! We are the team behind DayTripsFrom.City, and we believe that adventure doesn’t require a passport or a plane ticket. Sometimes, the most memorable experiences are just a tank of gas away.

We are dedicated to helping you discover the hidden gems, historic small towns, and scenic routes that lie right in your backyard.

Meet Our Editor-in-Chief

Theresa L. Goodrich
Award-Winning Author, Travel Journalist & Storyteller

We are proud to have Theresa L. Goodrich leading our editorial vision. As the founder of The Local Tourist and author of the Two Lane Gems book series, Theresa has spent over two decades exploring the nooks and crannies of America.

“I’ve always believed that every town has a story to tell. My goal as Chief Editor is to ensure that DayTripsFrom.City helps you find those stories, whether they are in a bustling metropolis or a quiet roadside diner.” — Theresa L. Goodrich

Why “Day Trips”?

We know that not everyone can take weeks off to travel Europe. But everyone has a Saturday free. DayTripsFrom.City is built on the philosophy that you can satisfy your wanderlust without emptying your bank account or using up all your vacation days.

Let’s Hit the Road!
