Planning a trip to Salem, Massachusetts? 🎃

Hey y’all! As someone who frequents Salem, Mass. I have some recommendations on treats and traveling tips when down there. 🎃 along with visiting in Salem this season, I will be staying in Mystic, CT, Newport, RI, and visiting Sleepy Hollow, NY all in ONE TRIP!!! 😱🎃

How will I manage? Well, come to my page to find out my tips and tricks 🎃🎃

📒Notes: my idea with going on these trips is to have fun, but be mindful of the money. I do not stay in extremely expensive places - just places that I know I can trust and that have a high cleanliness rating on the apps I review when booking hotels. 😊
