Hey there, we’re KP & Jessie!

After moving to Denver in 2020, we created Delightfully Denver to share our love of the Mile High City and the beautiful state of Colorado. We’ve found many different areas throughout this city that we’ve loved, from LoDo, where we had our first apartment, to the gorgeous RiNo area filled with local breweries and pubs galore. As Denver travel bloggers, our goal is to share those places with you!

Our Love for Travel Started Abroad


We studied abroad in Dublin in the spring of 2019 and knew that when we graduated in 2020, we wanted to move abroad. Unfortunately… we all know what happened in 2020. So, instead of moving abroad, we moved cross-country to the city of Denver.

We immediately fell in love with the beauty of not only the city but also the state of Colorado. Luckily, because we work remotely, we were able to really take in all of the gorgeous hikes, mountain towns, and beautiful views that this state has to offer.

If you only have a limited time in Denver…

Here are the 3 things you have to do!
1

Indulge in a meal at a local restaurant, like D’Corazon, Denver Biscuit Company, or even Boulder’s Foolish Craig’s.

2

Visit at least one museum, whether it’s Meow Wolf Convergence Station, the Denver Art Museum, or another.

3

Catch the sunrise or watch the sunset because they’re unlike any other in the country. We love watching from Confluence Park.
