One of Cleveland, Ohio’s cutest hotels I’ve ye One of Cleveland, Ohio’s cutest hotels I’ve yet to stay at but hope to some day (even if I live 5 mins away) recently opened a new restaurant @eatatbetts! They have these cute little tents for those who don’t want to dine indoors yet. These heated spaces were perfect for a lovey brunch this morning, and the food was really good! Looking forward to coming back to try dinner some day. If you’re in town or a local this is great place for a night (or day) out!

Have you been exploring new-to-you places nearby w Have you been exploring new-to-you places nearby where you live? Lately I’ve just been opening up Google Maps and zooming into an area that looks interesting to find new places to explore. Then searching the hashtags on IG to see what it looks like and if it’s worth the trip. This park boasted a mountain and view of Downtown Cleveland skyline even though it’s about 30 miles away so we had to check it out!

Hello from the Local part of Local Love & Wanderlu Hello from the Local part of Local Love & Wanderlust! With travel being something we’ve all had to put a hold on lately, I’m taking the opportunity to work on more local content. Currently writing and editing my first “Day Trip from Cleveland” post of a place we checked out this past weekend!

About

Maricopa Point at Grand Canyon South Rim

Hello, so glad you’re here!

I started Local Love and Wanderlust as a way to share my love for my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, and my travel experiences. While researching for past travel adventures, I noticed there was a lack of blogs out there that focused on Cleveland and I wanted to change that. I knew I had something to offer to fill in the gap and I really wanted to showcase my city the way I know and love it.

Combine my love of Cleveland and travel and you’ve got Local Love and Wanderlust! A blog for me to share my local adventures, travels, photography, and stories. You can find extensive restaurant and hotel reviews, lots of nature, itineraries, and much more. During the pandemic, I’ve also decided to add some more lifestyle content as we’re all spending a lot more time at home these days.

The purpose of the blog is not only to be a place where I can share my adventures but a place to inspire and motivate you to travel and explore your own backyards.

In the meantime, I will continue to share travel content I’ve yet to post as future inspiration and I urge you to use your best judgment and stay safe when it comes to anything travel related.

Hello there, I’m Jen, blogger, and photographer behind Local Love and Wanderlust. I live in a cute Cleveland, Ohio neighborhood with my husband and our twenty-year-old kitty girl. We love exploring around town, randomly picking a place on a map to have an adventure, and traveling as much as we can.

Some of my favorite things are desert plants, hiking, the ocean, driving down the coast, reading as much as I can, laughing too hard at Vine video compilations, watching movies, and binging a show series. I love staying on top of pop culture, it’s my fountain of youth.

Let’s Connect & collaborate!

I love to connect with local businesses, outdoor adventure brands, hotels, restaurants, and local tourism organizations. Let’s chat about how we can work together to create amazing, inspiring content. Drop me a line using the form below, I look forward to hearing from you!
