travel blog from the midwest to the world
Two Midwest Kids. One Whole World.
Welcome to Weekends 2 World, where every trip gets documented, every itinerary gets tested, and every honest mistake becomes a post someone else doesn’t have to make.
This summer, we’re taking things a step further: backpacking across Europe for three months and putting AI-generated itineraries to the ultimate test. From fully AI-planned city guides to our own on-the-ground adjustments, we’ll be sharing what actually works, what doesn’t, and where human instinct still wins. Whether it’s three days in Paris or a quick weekend escape, you’ll find real experiences, honest reviews, and practical takeaways you can actually use.
We’re Bailey & Parker!
Originally from Wisconsin, after college we spent time living in both Boston and New York City, experiences that gave us a strong foundation (and plenty of opinions) when it comes to navigating cities, finding great food, and building efficient itineraries. We’re not full-time travelers, just two people who love exploring new places.
