Welcome!
You've arrived at PonchoMeg's Guide to Everything Michigan. I am PonchoMeg: The Modern Bohemian (aka: Meagan). I live in Michigan and have my whole life. I was born in Lansing, and I have lived in Eaton Rapids, Grand Rapids, Portage, and East Lansing. Now I am back in the capital city itself: Lansing and living a bit of a hippie/bohemian/free-spirit lifestyle while I write my blog, work on my book, arts and crafts, and music, and try to figure out where I am going in life.

I love my home state, and have always enjoyed living here, even during tough economic times. I also have always enjoyed "being a tourist in my own state." I have visited many places in Michigan and had so many great experiences around the state. So because of my love of Michigan, I decided to create this blog, for residents and non-residents alike. It will be a great resource for anyone living in Michigan, moving to Michigan, or planning a trip to or around Michigan. (And for any student doing a report on Michigan!)
Please feel free to leave comments, visit my main blog: PonchoMeg: The Modern Bohemian, and/or become a follower.
And enjoy!
Peace and Love,
Meagan
