I help everyday people bring more exciting bucket list experiences and fun things to do to everyday life.

Is there anything fun in CT? In this session of the Everyday Bucket List Podcast, I go solo today & discuss Connecticut (my state). If you’re headed this way & need fun things to do in Connecticut this weekend or during the week, I give ideas for day trips in CT & places to stop in mostly Southern, CT including New Haven, Madison, Mystic & other places to stop along the shoreline. I also discuss other day trips from CT to Port Jefferson, Block Island & more that I recently marked off my bucket list.
