Sarah Einhorn runs a website that's a database of trip suggestions

For years, my phone line was flooded with calls from acquaintances who wanted “some place to go.” Everyone knew that trips were my passion, and I had a great mental database of attractions. If I have a free hour in my day, I’m out exploring a little-known local park or lake trail. If it’s an entire afternoon free, I could be on a scenic hike or skiing on artificial snow or at a glassworks studio.

When the kids are off from school in the summer, you’ll find us far from home exploring beautiful vacation spots, packing the days with activities and sight-seeing, water sports, museums and everything in between.

Friends would call when their boys had a few days off from yeshivah and needed to do something fun. They wanted suggestions for Chol Hamoed destinations, family summer overnights, major trips for day camps, and halcyon venues for dates. I enjoyed sharing my experiences, and for years, I’d been publishing pictorial articles about my trips in the Jewish Press, Mishpacha Jr., the Jewish Echo, betweencarpools.com, the Lakewood Scoop, and other publications.
