Hey there! My name is Dani and I am an avid traveler. In addition to being the Lead Community Manager for Perlu, I also run my own travel blog.
After living abroad in Australia for 16 months, I developed a desire to see the world and write about it! My blog is focused on giving people tips and tricks to save money and get the most out of their traveling experiences.
I have a strong belief in being authentic and honest. All photos used are my own, with occasional pieces from guest contributors and Instagram posts. I only write about places that I have actually visited and experiences I've had on my own - and will be clear if something was simply a recommendation!

It’s my other half’s birthday today! He’s usually the guy behind the camera on all of our adventures - and he hates being in the photos! But today is all about him, and what better way to celebrate with his free birthday boot at @wolffsbiergartensyracuse! This year they filled it with June Farm Pils from @saranacbrewery. Birthday or not, I love going to @wolffs.biergarten because it is the closest I can get to Germany. Even better? It’s Oktoberfest season! Do you have a favorite place to go on your birthday? Or a favorite German beer? . . #birthday #happybirthday #birthdayboy #cheers #drinkallthebeer #germanbeer #oktoberfest #oktoberfest2020 #newyorkbeer #nybeer #thinknydrinkny #newyorkstate #iloveny #tasteny #yesny #newyorkonly #thattravelblog #newyorkblogger #nyblogger #travelblogger #instabeer #beerstagram #drinkmorebeer #syracuse #visitsyracuse #yelpelite #dasboot #instagramhusband
Outdoor adventures, animal encounters, street art, great food, plus better beer all add up to a fun-filled weekend in Binghamton. A few years back, an old mechanic’s garage went up for sale and owner Daniel Sharp saw the perfect opportunity to create a unique restaurant. The craft beer industry is booming in New York, and if you’re spending a weekend in Binghamton, you have to check out one of the breweries – or two or three! With so many great activities to choose from, you’re bound to fall in love with Binghamton, New York.
Is there really anything better than enjoy a wine flight amongst gorgeous fall foliage during autumn weekends in New York? Because I don’t think so! I’ve always been very grateful to love so close the the Finger Lakes region with hundreds of wineries to visit. But there are wineries all over the state! Yesterday we stumbled across @bearpondwines while exploring the @CooperstownBeverageTrail. Don’t you just love the tree that they serve their wine flights on? Bear Pond offers a variety of styles from dry to sweet, as well as some selections from other wineries, breweries, and cideries in New York. Do you have a favorite New York winery?

NY Elizabeth Cady Stanton is synonymous with the women’s rights movement. Perhaps the most famous of the suffragists in the women’s rights movement, Susan B. Anthony was a lifelong advocate for women’s suffrage and the abolition of slavery. Matilda was president of the New York State Suffrage Association and later the National Women’s Suffrage Association. The first official point in women’s history happened on July 19, 1848 in Seneca Falls with the National Women’s Rights Convention.
Apparently it’s #NationalGhostHuntingDay - so it’s very fitting that my press trip with @visitschohariecounty and @gocooperstown has taken me to several haunted places! Even better, it was the perfect fall day - warm in the sun, crisp and cool at night. And the fall foliage is changing so it made for a gorgeous drive between stops! This photo was taken on the veranda at @hydehall_1817, former home to the Clark family. Located at Glimmerglass State Park, Hyde Hall is said to be one of the most British homes in the entire US because of its style that George Clark brought with him from England. And just like many old castles and buildings in Europe, Hyde Hall has its fair share of ghosts. George himself is said to be seen regularly walking the halls. His wife Anna placed a curse on the home when their son kicked her out. Jenny Cooper Worthington is perhaps the most famous of the ghosts, with an 8-foot portrait of her hanging in the formal dining room. Staff members report hearing footsteps, smelling perfume, hearing voices, and even seeing apparitions. Check it out for yourself! PS Hyde Hall is part of the @hauntedhistorytrailofnys and has been featured on @ghosthunters! . . #hydehall #hauntedmansion #hauntedhistory #ghosthunters #thisiscooperstown #wegootsego #cooperstown #cooperstownondeck #nystateparks #newyorkstate #iloveny #spookyseason #femaletravelbloggers #proudtobeftb #yesny #newyorkonly #roadtripusa #sheisnotlost #girlslovetravel #thattravelblog #newyorkblogger #nyblogger #travelblogger #exploremore #getoutdoors #damestravel #citizenfemme #girlsthatwander
Tanglewood is home to over ten miles of nature trails in Elmira, with routes varying in length and difficulty. That’s the Mark Twain Trail (also referred to as the Red Oak Trail), named in honor of the American author who called Elmira home for his summers. The Mark Twain Trail has sign posts along the way with quotes from some of Twain’s most famous works. The purpose of forest bathing is for people to walk through the forest, in a natural or near-natural state and take time to appreciate their surroundings and reflect.
Green Lakes State Park will forever be one of my favorite places. Can you blame me? Just look at the natural beauty in these photos from my nightly walk! I couldn’t pick a favorite - can you? In case you haven’t been following my stories, I’ve taken the @one_ny_cares challenge to walk 400 miles by Christmas to raise money for the @afspnational. While walking my daily 4 miles, I’m trying to explore as many of the local trails, @nystateparks, local parks, and other areas around me. Because New York State has so much natural beauty and it needs to be shared! Do you have a favorite local park - in Syracuse or wherever you are? @greenlakesstatepark @afsp_centralny #greenlakesstatepark #iloveny #naturalnewyork #nystateparks #syracuse #visitsyracuse #visitcny #sunsetphotography #sunsetlover #sunsetsofinstagram #ispyny #newyorkstate #newyorkstateparks #newyorkonly #femaletravelbloggers #proudtobeftb #dametraveler #girlswhohike #upstateny #upstatenewyork #yourshotphotographer #yourshotphotography
Created by Rachel Bartunek (the designer behind Handmade Darling), the adorable shop is filled with travel-themed goodies, stationery supplies, and other home decor. While there is no Luke’s Diner or Al’s Pancake World in Clinton, there are some great spots for local food and drink. Filled with local artists, farmers, and other vendors, it’s a great place to stock up on your favorites. The shale-lined trails go through the forests surrounding the college, but you’ll feel like you’re a world away.
When you find your perfect place to escape, you just sit down and take it all in. Honestly though, Root Glen at @hamiltoncollege is one of my new favorite places. It’s peaceful. It’s serene. It’s absolutely magical. I only wished I lived closer so I could visit every day. The trails are well made, dog friendly, and surrounded by the most beautiful flowers and trees. Next time you’re in @ocnewyork, give it a visit! . . #ocnewyork #clintonny #iloveny #femaletravelbloggers #proudtobeftb #yesny #trails #myhappyplace #hikingadventures #girlswhohike #hikersofinstagram #newyorkonly #sheisnotlost #girlslovetravel #thattravelblog #newyork #newyorkblogger #nyblogger #travelblogger #exploremore #getoutdoors #damestravel #citizenfemme #girlsthatwander #wanderlust #perfection #hiddengem #escapethecity #letsgo #letsguide
Reason #374 of why I love living in New York State: views like these. This past weekend I had the chance to visit Elmira, working with @marktwaincountry to promote safe activities to do in Chemung County. One of the amazing places to visit? @tanglewood_nature_center. The Mark Twain Trail is 3 miles long and features views like this plus quotes from the famous writer along the way. The hike is definitely a bit of a challenge, not a Sunday stroll! But the views make every step worthwhile.
