Mal Pais, Costa Rica is often skipped over in favor of better known beach towns. Requiring a domestic flight and a long car ride (or a shuttle and bus and another shuttle), most travelers will opt for an easier-to-reach destination. Mal Pais does attract one demographic almost without fail, though: surfers. […]
On my way to Paris, I kind of expected to eat croissants, drink wine in the sunshine, and get one of those jumping in front of the Eiffel Tower pictures. I ended up eating a jar of Nutella, drinking a warm beer alone on the grass by the Eiffel […]
It’s no secret that Barcelona is one of the most beautiful and visited cities in the world. While you don’t need me to tell you that there are a million things to see and do in Barcelona, I do encourage you to look up and around, especially at Antoni Gaudí’s […]
As soon as you rock into Portland, Oregon you’ll notice a unique vibe to the city, and the local’s pride in their weird nature and eccentricities. Maybe you think weird has a bad connotation but that’s not the case for Portland – think of it more as another word for […]
Melbourne is one of my favorite cities in the world – it’s fast, vibrant, and cultural. It’s European but at the same time still very much Australian. The accents are smooth, almost as much as the coffee, and there is live music every night of the week in the various […]

Of all the cities I’ve visited, Brisbane is high on the list of places I would like to live. Brisbane has busy city streets, quiet outskirts, enjoyable nature right in the city, and I’ve never people watched like I people watched at the Queen Street Mall. There are riverboats on […]
Spain is lucky enough to have two sets of gorgeous islands: the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands. While many prefer the likes of Mallorca and Ibiza in the Balearic Islands for beachside vacations and partying, I visited Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, closer to Africa than Spain itself, […]
Slovenia is a fantastic country around which to take a road trip. There’s stunning mountain scenery, incredible castles, magical lakes, and picturesque, largely unexplored towns and villages. It’s also an incredibly sparsely populated country (with just 2.06 million people living in an area of 20,273 square kilometres), so for the […]
When you hear the name Panama City, you might think of wild spring break parties (especially if you went to university in the United States). Or, if you aren’t reminded of college day debauchery on Florida’s northwestern coast, you probably immediately think of the Panama Canal. The essential route is undoubtedly and indisputably […]
Let’s be honest. When we think of Canada, we don’t immediately think of hot sunny days on the beach. It’s cold there, eh? Having lived in Canada my whole life, I can vouch for our summers. They happen and they’re beautiful. Here’s a list of some of the best beaches […]
Bridges seem to be the focus of many tourist pictures. They attract the camera lens as much as doors and waterfalls. Europe has some of the most beautiful bridges in the world and far too many of them to enumerate here but we thought we’d share some of our favorites. […]
