My most recent trip to Europe was a sudden last minute decision with not a lot of time to plan. A good friend of mine is living in London and I went to visit her. We wanted to do a weekend trip somewhere and looking at a map I thought “Hey Belgium is close!” Then…

The Statue of Liberty and What Freedom Means to Me
I have been slacking a bit on doing my New York City trips. Crazy how hard it is to get away from my day to day life to make it an hour away. Alas it is. I generally don’t work on Fridays and spend that day exploring NYC. Lately I have been swamped with work.
Falling in Love Around the Globe
Have you ever fallen in love while travelling? I consistently do this. Sometimes it is with a place but a lot of times it is with a person. I love falling in love with someone I may never see again. I get to leave a piece of me while taking a piece as well. Sometimes…
How Technology has Changed Travel
About 12 years ago I started traveling. When I packed my bags and made a list of the things I would need when I was away to entertain myself and continue to write the list was very short. I had a discman (you know what existed before iPods) a journal a book and of course…
Tips: Solo or Partner Travel?
This week I am headed to London to hang out with some friends and it got me to thinking. I have started to really enjoy traveling alone. I spent most of my youth travelling with my best friend. Bouncing around from city to city getting on each others nerves and laughing at things only the…
Liverpool and The Beatles
I admit it I wanted to go to Liverpool solely because I love The Beatles. This is a fact I am not ashamed of. Who doesn’t love The Beatles? When I was in London last April I was hell bent on getting to Liverpool.
Coba: Riviera Maya’s Perfect Ruins
My whole trip to Mexico revolved around seeing ruins. I spent a whole day in the hot sun to trek around Chichen Itza. It was a bright, hot day and Chichen Itza proved absolutely no shade. A few days later I went to my next set of ruins at Coba. A completely different experience. We…

Coffee: where you cant find a decent cup
Over the years I have learned to live with out a lot while traveling.Sometimes when you are in a foreign land you have to deal with the fact that things just wont be the same as home. The Rolling Stones were right when they said “You can’t always get what you want.”
London: The Walrus Bar and Hostel
Where you stay can be as important as what you do. Of course I am not always spending a lot of time in whatever hostel/hotel I stay in but there are a few things that I always look for.
A Bollywood Experience
One day while in Varanasi to escape the heat, we decided to go to the multiplex. I love movies and wanted to see a Bollywood film when in India. I wanted to experience it first hand since I knew how seriously India took its movies.
The Liebster Newbie Travel Blog Award
I have been very busy the past few months. Ever since I got back from TBU in Nantes, France I have been going hard trying to promote my blog. For a long time I wasn’t sure I could really do this. Make the blog a job that is. Now I see after these past 4…
