Welcome

Hi, I’m Kari! I created Kari Me Away to share my love for exploring the Midwest and uncovering its hidden gems, charming towns, unique food spots, and unforgettable adventures.

Based in the Heartland, this blog is where I document my favorite Midwest experiences—from road trips and small-town finds to seasonal festivals and outdoor escapes. You’ll also find a sprinkle of U.S. travel and the occasional international getaway, because my wanderlust doesn’t stop at state lines.

Whether you’re a fellow Midwesterner looking for weekend ideas or a traveler curious about what this region has to offer, you’re in the right place. I’m here to help you discover local treasures, travel smarter, and get inspired to explore more—close to home and beyond.

Let’s connect and make everyday adventures something worth remembering!
