New York in 3 Days

May 20, 2019

New York City is a magical city, there is no denying that. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit a handful of times: one was just before the 9/11 attacks, when my family skipped the Twin Towers to go to the Empire State Building (a move we deeply regret); and another was in 2006 when I…

A World Worth Seeing Book Review

December 1, 2018

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…

The Dos and Don’ts of Visiting Egypt

October 4, 2018

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…

The 10 Commandments of Travel

September 2, 2018

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…

Visiting Luxembourg in 1 Day

July 16, 2018

Luxembourg isn’t a country that people are vying to travel to. In fact, you may not have even known Luxembourg existed. It’s a small country nestled between Germany, Belgium, and France and flies under the radar of many European travelers. In all honesty, it’s a great idea to visit Luxembourg in one day because there…

Visiting St. Petersburg on a Cruise Ship

June 30, 2018

Baltic cruises are becoming increasingly popular routes and many cruise lines are choosing to make a port stop in St. Petersburg. The once-elusive Russian city is now becoming a reality for many people and the best/worst part is that you don’t need a Russian visa. However, without a Russian visa your freedom in Russia is…

May 25, 2018

If you’ve made it here, then you undoubtedly are interested in traveling around Egypt independently. Congrats, it takes a lot of gumption to decide to travel to Egypt without an organized tour group? But do you really want to experience Egypt? Then you need to travel independently. I’m going to be as blunt and honest…

Climbing the Teotihuacan Pyramids

March 21, 2018

Hundreds of years before European explorers set foot on the Americas, the American natives were already creating their own lavish and elaborate cities. The Mesoamericans in central Mexico created pyramids that rivaled the great pyramids of Giza. They called their home Teotihuacan and believed that the sun and moon were born there. In later years,…

17 Reasons to Visit Ireland

March 16, 2018

In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, it only makes sense for me to write an article about how great the country of Ireland is. It’s green, pretty, and 70% of the Irish are always drunk. What’s not to love about it? I’ve been to Ireland twice and still haven’t seen nearly enough of the…
