Hey Y’all!
I’m Lori – the southerner. After traveling and road tripping for years, I created Southerner Says as a way of sharing the amazing places I’ve encountered along the way.
Planning trips can be hard. Jobs, budgets and lack of time all get in the way. Let me help with that! After dozens of adventures and thousands of road trip miles, my travel guides and itineraries take the hard work out of planning.
And now, I’m a certified travel agent, so if you’d rather have someone else doing the planning, I can help with that too!

What You’ll Find Here:
United States Travel
Most of my travel is in the United States and Mexico. That’s not to say you won’t see me in Europe, and other places, from time to time, but the majority of content on Southerner Says is from the Americas.
National Park Guides
I’m passionate about our National Parks and I’m on a quest to visit as many as possible. If you love exploring, and chatting about, our national parks then this is the place for you.

Road Trip Itineraries
Airplane travel is a whole lot of fun but if you really want to see a destination then road tripping is the best way. With plenty of interstates and back roads, the USA and Canada are perfect for road trips.
Travel For Anyone
Many of my articles are written from a solo female perspective, since I travel by myself frequently. However, the travel guides and itineraries found here are useful for everyone, including families.
