Fun fact about yourself: Wherever I travel, I always try to find local authors to read either before, after, or during my trip. I find it’s one of the best ways to learn about another place.

What do you like about Omaha and what are your favorite secret spots?  Omaha has some amazing restaurants and parks to try. I enjoy taking my dog for walks in a different park each weekend, and trying new restaurants with my friends. Some of my favorite spots include La Buvette for French bistro vibes, Lyles Pizzeria for my pizza fix,  and Lola’s Café for a wholesome lunch.
