Travel Tuesday: Explore Your City

This is a sponsored post. All opinions in this post are my own.


If you have been reading this blog for at least a couple of months now, you’ve likely noticed that I took the site through a redesign, and that I’ve added a few new topics up at the top there. I’ve decided that, because I have traveled so much and love to talk about traveling in general, I would start writing a bit about my travels! Lex Landing will be where I feature travels around the country and abroad (such as this post on one of my favorite places in Arizona), and Lex Local will be where I talk about things I do and see in my area (such as this restaurant I recently visited). For now, they’re just tags I’m using on posts, but eventually they will be their own pages. I hope you enjoy my travel posts!

Speaking of Lex Local, I have really been working to get out and try new things in my area. It’s funny: I was born and raised in the DC Area, but I still feel like Jon Snow – I know nothing! There are always new, interesting restaurants popping up, I feel like I learn about a new fitness boutique or type of workout every week, and seriously, am I the only person in the area who hasn’t done an escape room??

Fortunately, Groupon Things to Do has tons of great things I can check out in my area! Once you plug in your zip code, you get a list of a variety of different things going on in your area that you can check out. For example, I just learned that there is a Groupon for this new indoor cycling studio in my area that I’ve been wanting to try out. I plan to get over there and check it out so that I can write all about it in Lex Local! I also learned that there are some Groupon deals for concerts at the venue just two blocks from my house. I’m actually a little salty that I just learned that they’re on there, because I was at the Chrisette Michele concert two weeks ago, and they had a special meet-and-greet with her after the show for people who had the Groupon! Lesson learned!
