Welcome! I'm JoAnn Hill, a travel writer, author, and lifelong explorer.
I've traveled to all 50 states and more than 60 countries in search of off-the-beaten-path places, authentic experiences, and unforgettable stories.
Through my books, travel writing, and adventures, I share the hidden gems, local flavors, fascinating history, and unexpected discoveries that make a destination unique, and inspire others to explore beyond the usual tourist stops.
I'm the author of Secret Washington, DC, Unique Eats & Eateries of Washington, DC, and DC Scavenger.
My latest book, Secret Florida: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure, co-authored with Alexia Gonzalez, is now available! Join us as we uncover the Sunshine State's hidden gems, fascinating histories, and wonderfully quirky stories.

Beyond the Blog
When I'm not traveling, you'll often find me studying Italian, teaching yoga, taking long walks along the St. Petersburg waterfront with a great audiobook in my ears, cooking with a glass of wine in hand, or dreaming up my next adventure with my husband, T.
I believe travel isn't just about seeing new places. It's about gaining new perspectives, creating meaningful connections, and discovering parts of ourselves along the way.
