Kathy Brown is the founder of EasyUSATrips.com and former owner of FindingKathyBrown.com - a travel blog for relaxed road trips, breezy beach escapes, and easy adventures across the USA, especially for travelers 50+. Based in Chattanooga, TN, she hits the road with her husband Steve (her partner in the crime of travel) and their curly Goldendoodle, Mr. Jax, who insists on sniffing every scenic overlook. If it’s laid-back, dog-friendly, and near the water, she’s probably already packed a bag.
