Heading to Brasov I contacted the local branch of Urban Adventures. I have worked with them in Philly and also numerous times in New York. I have never been on a tour I didn’t enjoy with them. They use local guides and give you unique experiences. They show you things you might not find on…
Just like most people I love castles. They are beautiful, extravagant and I love wondering what it would be like to be the kind of person who lived in a castle. What was their life like? Spending time in the castles gives you a snapshot into that world. I wanted to go castle chasing in…
I ate more in 4 days than I ever thought was possible. This is not me complaining this is just me stating a fact. The road to Kilkenny is spotted with some of the best food I have ever tasted and some of the most wonderful local food producers. Come on a short tour of…
There are a few reason’s Kerala is called Gods Own Country, but looking around you can see why it stuck. Kerala is beautiful. It is mountains, beaches and serenity. It is not as loud and abrasive as northern India. It is much less unassuming, It doesn’t have the giant Taj Mahal or places of the…
India is a mystery. At times it makes no sense other times it seems to move in perfect harmony. It is unlike any other place I have ever been. The second I set foot in it for the first time 8 years ago, I knew I would come back. Now after coming to Kerala, I…

Just like every country, Iceland has cuisine that is unique to them. Some of it I loved and some of it not so much. Some of it was delicious and some of it was…interesting. Regardless of how I normally feel about a dish I love to try things when I am somewhere new. Basically that…
After spending a long weekend in Reykjavick I was ready to start exploring outside it’s walls. I was told the Golden Circle was a must see. So I set out early in the morning to see the wild beauty that is Iceland in the winter. I figured it is hard to explain what it looks…
Every time I travel to a new place I, obviously, learn things I did not know. The most exciting part of the trip to me is the discovery. I love history and facts. I love seeing where things happened. It brings everything to life! Iceland is no exception. It was an interesting and exciting place…
Iceland is a sustainable country. They pride themselves on their environmental thinking and their easy execution of it, as I wrote about prior to this, here. HI Hostels follow and promote that lifestyle as well. It is wonderful to support a place that cares so much.
With all the problems environmental protection is facing in the United States, Iceland is a breathe of fresh air. Quite literally. The air is super crisp and fresh
