About

Hey, I’m so glad you’re here!
Adventure Chest is where my love for history and travel come together. It’s all about uncovering the stories behind historic trails, hidden gems, and cool movie filming locations we think of visiting while we watch and forget right after.

Ever had that long-awaited trip take a turn for the worse? You trust others to plan your itinerary, but it doesn’t quite fit your vibe. It’s raining, but you’re stuck on a prepaid walking tour you can’t reschedule, or you find yourself rushing through city streets without time to pause for a drink, worried about losing your group. And those stunning photos you’ve seen online? You barely had a chance to take your own—no time, no gear, no inspiration.

That’s why this blog exists—to arm you with the info you need to DIY your itineraries. Wherever you go, you’ll know what to do, when to do it, and how to make the most of every moment. No matter how pushy the salespeople get, you’ll always be in control, knowing your needs and what suits you best.
