Posted: 6/26/2003 | June 23rd, 2023 Lisbon is one of my favorite cities in the world. It’s home to impressive museums, historic buildings, picturesque plazas, chilled-out cafes, and a lively mix of clubs and candlelit music venues where people go to listen to traditional fado music. I fell in love with the city as soon […]

Posted: 6/23/23 | June 23rd, 2023 Oaxaca is one of my favorite cities. From the moment I first visited, I knew this was a place I would return to again and again and again. I’ve been half a dozen times now, even leading tours around the city. Located in southwestern Mexico in a valley surrounded […]

Posted: 6/23/23 | June 23rd, 2023 One of the biggest barriers to entry when it comes to travel is airfare. It can be prohibitively expensive — especially in this post-COVID travel boom. As anyone who’s spent time searching for flights knows, finding a cheap one can be an arduous and time-consuming task. Unlike other aspects […]

Posted: 6/8/2023 | June 8th, 2023 Bologna is considered one of the food capitals of Italy. And that’s saying something, because, well, Italy is a food capital in itself. The city has some of the most protected designations in the country and is fast become a center for culinary tourism. And the food is what […]

Posted: 6/5/2023 | June 5th, 2023 Oaxaca stole my heart. I was enamored by this colorful and vibrant city from the moment I stepped foot on its cobblestoned streets. It has it all: history, culture, friendly people, food, mezcal. (I love this city so much that we run tours there now!) While the town may […]

Posted: 6/1/2023 | June 1st, 2023 I love Mexico City. It’s dynamic, diverse, bustling, and filled with incredible museums and restaurants. There’s so much to do here. It takes a long time to peel back the layers of this onion and get to the essence of the city. We run week long tours to the […]

Posted: 6/1/2023 | June 1st, 2023 I love trip planning. Reading about a destination, learning its history, and discovering all the cool things to see and do (and eat) is one of the many things I like about traveling. When I first started backpacking, planning a budget trip was a challenge because you could only […]

Last Updated: 5/25/23 | May 25th, 2023 Backpacking Europe is still one of my favorite things to do as a traveler. There isn’t a year I don’t criss-cross the continent (except 2020 when no one was crossing Europe). During the summer, hostels burst with life, the Mediterranean sparkles, streets fill with people slowly drinking wine […]

Posted: 5/23/23 | May 23rd, 2023 New Orleans is known for its rambunctious nightlife and wild Mardi Gras. But there’s more to the Big Easy than the frozen drinks on Bourbon Street. It’s essential to branch out during your visit. The Garden District, the Central Business District (aka CBD), the Marigny, Bywater, and Mid-City (among […]

Posted: 5/23/2023 | May 23rd, 2023 New Orleans is one of the best cities in the world. Synonymous with debauchery, it’s become famous for the boisterous Mardi Gras festival that takes over the city each February. But there is more to “NOLA” than just partying. Much more. I first went in 2006 and have been […]
