I’m Carol Cram — novelist, cultural traveler, and lifelong museum lover. My favorite trips
revolve around museums, performances, creative workshops,
and experiences that broaden my understanding of a place and the culture that shapes it.

On Artsy Traveler, I share what I learn so you can explore with insight and confidence.

The “Perfect Day” Series

When I visit a new destination, I like to imagine what a truly satisfying day would look like.
My “Perfect Day” itineraries balance art, culture, relaxed wandering, and
memorable meals to help you connect more deeply with a place, even if you have just one day to explore.
