welcome to nostalgic travels

Creating New Nostalgia

& Making Core Memories

We’re Ashley & Magen. We’re Chicago based and travel often. We share itineraries, best places to visit, unique destinations, and experiences that make life special. We believe local businesses are the core of any destination and help shape your experiences like no other. It lends to what makes your memories YOURS and we love to feature what makes destinations unique.

We believe in living adventurously at home and on the road. We have loads of fun in our homebase of Chicago. (The best city in the world!!) We share the best dining, theater, and history of our adopted hometown and we’ll gush over it often.

You’ll catch us on the road more often than not. We love road trips and often share destinations driveable from Chicago. We love theme parks and quirky, fun destinations but we also share hallmark-esque towns, bookstores, and the best dining and scenic spots to build those core memories!

You’ll probably catch us cruising and finding the best cruise ports and ship experiences, too. It’s a tenet of our travel plans since you get to see so many places in one trip.

Stay a while!
