Hi! I'm Lori, and I created Boston Made Easy to simplify your Boston trip planning with clear tips, local insights, and easy-to-follow guides.

I fell in love with Boston over 20 years ago, and many of the places and experiences I share here are ones I’ve personally enjoyed.

After giving friends and family who were visiting Boston for the first time the same recommendations again and again, I realized it was time to put everything in one spot—so you can plan your first (or next!) visit with ease.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time, traveling with family, or planning a return visit (trust me—you’ll want to come back!), I’m here to help you navigate and plan your perfect Boston trip.
