About Follow the Piper Blog<\/p>\n
Follow the Piper wants to motivate you to pack more travel into your life. You don\u2019t need to get on a plane to travel. Instead, we\u2019ll inspire you to get off the couch and see the world, near or far. Be a tourist in your own town. Go to that new restaurant. Explore the museum you\u2019ve passed every day for years and never visited. Make a day trip on Saturday or go away for the weekend. You don\u2019t need a whole week or two to travel. You don\u2019t need to travel full-time to experience the world.<\/p>\n
While we want to motivate you to plan your next adventure in Michigan or the Midwest, occasionally you\u2019ll find articles farther afield. So, first, we help you decide where to go, with whom, what to eat, and which activities to pursue. Then, we help you determine why and how to get there cost-effectively.<\/p>\n

While my husband and I retired from our day jobs, we can help you plan how to spend your limited vacations and holidays. Wherever I am, I focus on planning Flights. Food.
