It’s no secret that I want to see the world. All of it. Alongside that goal, I’ve been working on the lifelong project of reading 1,000 books in beautiful places around the globe. I must admit that I have been a very slow reader lately, but the books I did pick up this month were difficult […]

One of my absolute favorite activities to do while traveling is read a good book. Consuming my current read in different spots all over a city or town is one of my favorite ways to enjoy a new place. I lived in London for four amazing months. On days when I would explore by myself, […]

Unbeknownst to much of the world, Ireland has a native language preceding English that many […]

Budapest has been one of my dream destinations for the past several years for no other reason than its mystery, exoticism, and location in the heart of Eastern Europe. In reality, I knew nothing about the city or the country of Hungary before going there. Much to my surprise and delight, Budapest turned out […]

The decision to go to Amsterdam was made within about 30 seconds four days beforehand. Being the most spontaneous trip I have ever taken, I did not plan very much ahead of time in terms of what to see and do. Still, the “Venice of the North” did not disappoint. Traveling either alone or in […]
