Looking for a domestic destination for a mini trip later this year? If you’re anything like me, you’re probably having trouble narrowing it down to one place to visit. There are so many possibilities, and there’s never nearly enough time (or money) to get to everywhere we’d like to go.

Anyway, I’ve been fortunate to see most of this great country, and I’d like to share a few worthy destinations that might pique your interest. Try visiting one of these cities if you’re looking for ideas.

If you haven’t been to Nashville, Tennessee, you’re missing out. This is a great Southern city that’s rich with culture. I’ve been there three times this year and I never grow sick of it.

First of all, there are some great restaurants in Nashville. Aside from the Southern food you’d expect, there’s some exceptional ethnic food too. Downtown Nashville is built up without feeling like New York City, and I find it to be a perfect balance.

The next city I’m going to mention is one that might be a better destination when it’s warm out. Regardless, I’ve had a lot of fun in Providence and I believe that you would too. A visit to Newport is a must during a trip to Providence.

Providence is a beautiful small city with some great culture and a lot of history. As far as Newport goes, it’s about a half hour away and the beaches and restaurants there are phenomenal. I’d only recommend going there in the summer, as it’s more of a beach resort town.

My last suggestion is the great Southern city of New Orleans. With its historic French influence, the architecture is great and the Cajun food is even better. Try to make a trip here if you’re fortunate enough to have a means.

Do any of these cities strike a chord with you? If they do, I’d suggest that you consider any one of these for your next trip. I have a feeling you’ll absolutely love them.
