I just need to begin this post by saying that you should not spend merely 48 hours or a long layover in Istanbul. The city deserves much more than that. However, if you have to choose between a short time in Istanbul or no time at all, like I had to, I suggest spending whatever…
There is so much more to Germany than just World War II. I am extremely aware of the stigma that surrounds the country but it doesn’t mean that Germany consists of ONLY World War II sites. But visiting World War II sites while in Germany is an excellent way to learn more about the country’s…
Monaco on a budget? I know, those two words seem a bit contradictory, don’t they? After all, Monaco is the home of Princess Grace Kelly, the Monaco Grand Prix, and many James Bond adventures. It’s a place that almost seems too good to be true, especially too good to be done on a budget. But…
If you haven’t been to Rothenburg ob der Tauber yet then WOW get off your computer and go pay it a visit ASAP. It may have taken the top spot of my favorite town in the world. Even if it’s not number one, it’s definitely a close contender. When I was preparing to go to…

Haven’t decided where your travels will take you in 2019? This list should help you narrow down your ideas and hopefully will give you some more ideas about where to go!
The world is a small place and it is shrinking daily thanks to a plethora of technological advances. Today, you can book a flight across the world by clicking a few buttons on your computer instead of going through the exhausting process of a travel agent like you had to do 20 years ago. But…
A few years ago I traveled to Dubai and wrote about the “Dos and Don’ts of Visiting Dubai”. It is still my single most popular post because there simply isn’t enough information about what to truly expect in these types of places. That’s why I’m creating a similar one for Egypt. There are some crazy…
I’d like to think I’m an expert at travel. I don’t know a lot of things and I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but over the years I’ve been able to learn a LOT of things. Travel isn’t all pretty Instagram pictures, it can be gritty and rough. That being said, here are my 10…
