Who is Awesome Mitten?
At Awesome Mitten we work hard to make honest, helpful, and reliable travel guides and articles for the state of Michigan that are a genuine resource to our audience.
We want to produce the kind of content we’d be proud to show our own mom. Actually we often do! (Thanks mom!)
But producing guides and articles with real people is an expensive endeavor. We spend the time to research and go more in-depth than anyone else. We go and visit the places, eat the food, talk to the owners, and walk the paths to share the details with you.
Then each piece of content passes in front of multiple team members to ensure it’s worth sharing with you, our audience.
But it’s getting more and more difficult for small independent publishers like us to cultivate an audience with big tech constantly changing the rules.
By purchasing our travel guides and premium access you can support our mission directly, to help people fall more in love with Michigan, and get the benefits of our expertise for all your exploration of our amazing state!
