Welcome to Mindfully American!
Mindfully American is where curious Americans come to understand their country a little better: state by state, dollar by dollar, and grocery aisle by grocery aisle.
We publish across five main areas: Money, Retirement, State Studies, Travel, and Fun Reads. One day we might be writing about the latest news on property tax breaks for seniors in Arizona and the next day about what changes at Florida’s Publix stores once snowbirds leave.
What makes us different is the local lens. The United States doesn’t work the same way in every state. Grocery deals, taxes, slang, and the unwritten rules of politeness all shift at the state line. If you’ve ever wanted to know how your state compares, or what awaits you in the state you’re moving to, that’s where we come in.
We take the “mindful” part of Mindfully American seriously. The USA has many great qualities, but it’s not perfect. Our content covers a range of perspectives, and we constantly strive to offer new points of view, celebrating what’s worth celebrating and being honest about the rest.
Every fact we publish is verified against authoritative sources such as government data, official figures, and primary reporting, and we link to those sources right in our articles so you can check them yourself. When we get something wrong, we correct it. You can read exactly how our content is produced, including how we use AI tools and our house bylines, in our Editorial Policies.
Mindfully American is independently owned and operated by A Piece of Travel, LLC. We’re self-funded, with no outside investors, which means our only obligation is to you, the reader.
