Today is day one. The first post. The moment I officially launch EricHegwer.com, a space dedicated to finding the best bites, most charming stays, and can’t-miss experiences starting right here in Green Bay, Wisconsin and then around the world.
If you’re wondering why a seasoned traveler with over 35 years of global experience has decided to plant his flag here in Northeast Wisconsin, the answer is simple: I’ve learned that the most meaningful discoveries are often in your own backyard.
My Unique Lens
You won’t find the typical “young influencer” vibe here. What you will find is a discerning eye honed by decades of travel and an appreciation for quality in all its forms, from a five-star hotel in Florence to the perfect dive bar burger.
My approach is a unique blend of global polish and local passion:
- The Global Standard: After three and a half decades of traveling extensively across continents, I know what quality hospitality and exceptional food look like. I review every Green Bay experience against that global benchmark, looking for the details that elevate a restaurant or a stay.
- The Local Soul: I combine that elevated standard with an appreciation for genuine, Wisconsin comfort and value. I’m here to find the authentic charm and great stories that make Green Bay a special destination.
- I’m Unique in This Niche: Frankly, this is not the typical travel blog. My goal is to use my mature perspective and deep experience to cut through the fluff and deliver honest, useful reviews that appeal to locals and visitors who value quality, authenticity, and a great story.
What You Can Expect
This blog is your guide to experiencing Green Bay with a focus on depth and detail. I’ll be personally reviewing every item to ensure you get the best recommendations:
- 🍽️ Restaurant Reviews: From plating and ambiance to the honest value of a meal, I’ll cover high-end dining and humble, yet perfect, local spots.
- 🎉 Events & Activities: Festivals, hidden gems, and local happenings that showcase the genuine character of Northeast Wisconsin throughout the year.
- 🛏️ Lodging Insights: Honest reviews of local hotels, boutique stays, and cozy lodging—focused on comfort, quality amenities, and overall guest experience.
It’s time to show the world that Green Bay is a world-class destination in its own right, reviewed by someone who has seen the world.
