I have been conducting numerous interviews over the past few weeks to gain insights into the way people curate, organize and share travel content, with the final objective of identifying opportunities to innovate in this space.

I'm planning a road trip through Kentucky and would love any tips and or suggestions. :)
Although I'm mostly unfamiliar with Kentucky, I am a big fan of Moonlite B-B-Q in Owensboro. Chopped mutton, banana cream pie ... good times!
the bourbon trail! there are distilleries all around the state, though mostly in the northwestern part around Louisville & Lexington. visit the smaller, local distilleries too. keeneland & churchill downs for horse races. mammoth cave national park. the random life-sized noah's ark near lexington. muhammad ali musuem in louisville. it really is a beautiful state to drive around. i lived in louisville for 4 years so happy to give more recs.
Definitely the Bourbon Trail and Churchill Downs.
If you have kids who play Pokémon Go remembering to stop at rest areas is helpful. I may also suggest the bluegrass mall in Simpsonville KY. Parents can do shopping & kids can play Pokémon.
