I’m Brian—Let’s Plan Your Next Adventure
I’m Brian—a Minnesota native who loves taking Midwest & USA road trips and Caribbean cruises. By day, I work a 9–5 in the transportation industry, and spend my off-hours exploring and posting practical guides and tips on Dohrn Travels—with the long-term goal of going full-time.
On my blog, you’ll find road-trip itineraries, honest cruise port guides, and practical travel tips—clear routes, packing lists, and time-savers that make planning easy.
From Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa to Alaska’s Kenai, the Oregon Coast, and the Panama Canal/ABC Islands, I help everyday travelers plan stress-free, memorable adventures.
