About Us

Hi! We’re the Hadleys!

We’re so glad you’re here. We love to travel, and our style is best described as medium-paced—with plenty of time built in for naps, snack breaks, and soaking it all in. We’re all about seeing new places, adding a little adventure here and there, and putting a big emphasis on local food and drink (because memories taste better when snacks are involved).

We started Snacks, Maps & Memories because we genuinely love sharing our travel experiences—and hearing about other people’s trips too. When we plan our own adventures, we lean heavily on the wisdom of friends, blogs, and total strangers on the internet. This space is our way of giving back and joining that conversation.

We’re also big into travel hacking, and using points and miles has completely changed how often—and how far—we’re able to travel as a family. We’re learning as we go, and we’re excited to share what’s working for us along the way.

Thanks so much for being here. We hope you’ll stick around, and we’d love for you to share your favorite travel memories and tips in the comments.
