Hey! We’re Kassidy and Tyler.
Both of us were born right here in Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Over the years, we’ve learned to love our home state, and absolutley love exploring it.
We both were born and raised in Grand Rapids, which is located right in central Minnesota. We still visit often, as our family lives there!
We started dating in 2015 and have been together ever since. That’s 9 years!
After attending college in Fargo and Moorhead for 2 years, we moved a few locations around the state including Chisago City, Forest Lake and Roseau, before finally settling in a small town on the Minnesota-Canada border.
Our favorite place to explore in Minnesota is the North Shore! We love to hike, and we especially love exploring during fall when the foliage is bright and colorful.
Through all of our combined time living in Minnesota, we have extensive knowledge on our home state! Since we’re both locals and have found all of the fun hidden gems, and the popular spots! And we’re excited to share all of them with you!

About Kassidy
I’m Kassidy, 24 years old, Minnesota native, and the writer and founder of Journey Through Minnesota.
I started blogging about 3 years ago and have loved the opportunities to connect with more people who love my home state, and have more excuses to travel around it!
Aside from just Minnesota, I also love hiking, skiing, paddle boarding, traveling, my cats and dog, houseplants, snowmobiling, podcasts, decorating my home, gardening, and spending time at home with my family.
I graduated college in 2021 with a degree in social work, but after graduation, I decided against going into the field, and instead started my blogs and doing content creation for brands (UGC).
My favorite place to visit in Minnesota is Lutsen. I love exploring the trails, seeing the fall foliage, and trying all of the amazing restaurants! My favorite hike is White Sky Rock.

Tyler’s favorite place in Minnesota is usually wherever he can ride snowmobiles, either on snow or on water. But he also loves exploring the North Shore!
