Weston and Nannette
Hidden gems, local tips, good food, beautiful stays, and the long way around.
We're Weston and Nannette, a couple who loves traveling the world together, from overlooked cities and little towns to major destinations like New York, Paris, Lisbon, and beyond. We ask locals where they actually eat, wander, explore, and send their friends, then we share the places, stays, tours, and tips that are truly worth your time.

Field note
Ask the person pouring the wine where they would eat tonight.
What we're looking for
The real places. The better corners. The little details that turn a trip into a story you keep retelling.
- the restaurant locals keep mentioning
- the hotel with character
- the street worth wandering
- the tour that is actually worth booking
- the city people overlook
- the local tip that changes the trip
- the thing everyone says to skip
- the thing everyone says not to miss
Not just far away.
We love the big trips, but we also believe great travel can happen close to home, in small towns, overlooked cities, local neighborhoods, weekend drives, and places hiding in plain sight.

How we travel
We ask around. We wander. We eat. We get a little lost. We compare notes. We tell you what we'd do again, what we'd skip, and what made the place feel alive.
- Ask the bartender, shop owner, hotel host, and taxi driver.
- Leave room for the wrong turn that becomes the best afternoon.
- Book the tour only when it earns its spot.
- Write down the honest answer, not the prettiest one.
About Weston and Nannette
We're a loving couple who believes travel is better when it is shared, curious, and a little unscripted. We love good food, interesting streets, local stories, beautiful stays, strange tips, scenic walks, and the places that do not always make the standard guidebooks.
Collecting moments, not things.
