If you haven’t picked up on it yet, I’m a fan of “small cities.” Sure, places like New York, Philly, and Boston are great to visit, but often times portions of these cities are so homogenized that they become interchangeable. Big cities are also super transient. People come there to get jobs. You could walk
Month: May 2013
The last two years have taught me that traveling internationally is both easier and more affordable then I would have ever imagined. Granted, I currently have no dependents and could use my tax refund on purely personal gain and have the luxury of having my entire summer free, but it’s still more attainable than I would
Memorial Day weekend (or #MDW if I want to be trendy) has long been the unofficial start of summer (even though my personal unofficial start of summer is whenever school lets out) and I’m happy to say that I’ve already been able to start crossing off items from my 2013 Summer to-do List. My mother and I
Preakness once again came and went and a full week later I feel like I’m still feeling it’s effects. The Infield will do that to you. We did Preakness a little different this year. In the past we took a bus trip out of Philadelphia but this year, for various reasons, we decided to stay
Summer is right around the corner and it’s time to start planning your beach getaway. While you may want to take a whole week and go to a quintessential beach locale like Cape Cod or the Outer Banks, it’s always good to have an easy and local beach trip in your arsenal. My suggestion is
I’m not a “foodie” by any means (unless your talking about Tom Haverford’s definition of a foodie which consists of Instagramming what you eat…in that case I most certainly am). I’m terribly picky and have all sorts of strange hang-ups; I generally don’t eat hot vegetables, anything pureed grosses me out, I’ve traditionally been very wary of ethnic
If you google how to avoid being mugged, you’ll come up with a bevy of answers: Walk with purpose. Stay in well lit areas. Don’t go on the “wrong side of the tracks”. Keep your money in a fanny pack (they’re not just stylish). Mugging prevention might as well be titled common sense 101. I
I’m a sucker for a good harbor town and duly impressed by military pomp and circumstance. Annapolis Maryland has both of these, and since Preakness is this weekend, I’m Maryland-theming the blog. Annapolis, a town of just under 40,000, is located on the Chesapeake Bay just 26 miles south of Baltimore and 29 miles east of Washington DC, is
I will officially be going to Iceland from June 19th though the 27th. My sister has agreed to be my partner in crime. Because grading and last weekend overtook all other facets of my life, I’m a week late in posting this. We purchased our plane tickets last Monday, so it’s official. A lot of the
Whenever I hear about “cool small towns”, Jim Thorpe always comes to mind, even though I’ve only ever driven through or been just outside town (for a rafting trip two years ago). Budget Traveler agrees as it named the town one of it’s “coolest small towns” in 2009. Jim Thorpe’s a small town in PA’s Lehigh
