    I recently had the opportunity to visit a friend who lives in Sydney, Australia, and I found myself hopelessly in love with this city and the whole country! Although my trip was short and I didn’t have time to venture outside New South Wales, I still got to see so many amazing things and have…

    Tried and True Hostel Chains

    Most people when they travel opt for a hotel because its the most obvious option, but some of us more rugged, cheap, or seasoned travelers trade complete solitude to save money and hopefully make some new friends. My first hostel experience was a few years ago, and I’ll admit, I was nervous. Before then, I…

  • Day Trips From Dublin

    While Dublin is lovely, there’s more to Ireland than it’s biggest city. Luckily, Ireland is a smaller country and it only takes a few hours to get most places, depending on your mode of transportation. When reading this list, you’ll notice that Belfast in Northern Ireland is omitted, because I have an entire post dedicated…

    The land mass that we call Ireland is comprised of two separate countries; Ireland and Northern Ireland. Ireland is an independent country and is part of the EU, while Northern Ireland is a member of the UK. Some key differences to note when going between the two is the currency (Ireland uses the Euro, Northern…

  • 24 Hours in Brussels

    Brussels, what a charming little city! And when I say little, I mean it, this city packs a lot of charm into a small area. Most cities in Western Europe need days or even weeks to explore, but not Brussels. You can get a pretty good feel for the city in just one day, and…

    The Central Europe Loop

    When I recently traveled to Central Europe, I met many other travelers who were going to the same cities I was. The most popular cities in this part of Europe are all situated in a loop, which makes it pretty easy to go from one to another and still land back in the city you…

    As an ambitious young traveler, I often take trips where I hop around to different cities, usually traveling by train. This is a great way to get a little glimpse of each city, and decide if any of them are worth coming back to someday. Order of Booking After you decide where your first destination…

    Liverpool – Trailing the Footsteps of the Beatles

    Anyone who knows me well knows I have a deep intense love for the Beatles. I’ve been a die hard fan since I was 3 years old, and I know every song. I also know a ridiculous amount of Beatles history. From a young age I was interested in getting to know the story of…
