about me
Hey There, I'm Alia
Architect by day, writer by night and traveling when I can. Getting all this done by the grace of God, coffee, to-do lists, and Broadway musical soundtracks. Currently living in Michigan with my husband and mini-goldendoodle.

Story Behind this blog
What started out as a landing page for my author platform (yes, I write books too…sort of) has now morphed into a full fledged blog where I write a little bit of everything, but mostly dog friendly travel, adventures in Michigan, the Midwest, and anywhere else I’ve had the privilege of traveling to. You’ll also find chats about books, writing, and God.
I do not do sponsored stays / sponsored content. I pay for all my meals, hotels, products, and activities that I write about on this blog. Traveling is a prioritized treat, not my full time job.
Some of the links I share are affiliate links, meaning I earn a small commission if you buy something using my link, at NO additional cost to you. I only use my affiliate link on things I actually buy, use or have researched extensively. Thanks for helping to keep this site running!
