Boston has always been one of my favorite cities. Beautiful and exciting, Boston still maintains the history and culture that made it a foundation of American history. I had last visited Boston in high school, so when we had an opportunity to extend my work trip to the East Coast, of course Boston was our … More 24 Hours in Boston

No matter how much we plan for the perfect, seamless trip, sometimes life has other plans. Whether it is a missed flight or train, a language barrier that you can’t cross or some foreign food that makes you wish you had stuck to the granola bar you brought along, sometimes things go wrong. While a … More Travel: What To Do When Things Go Wrong
Most people have a tendency to pack half a suitcase of items they don’t need when they travel. When you really buckle down and streamline your packing, you will be surprised at how little you do actually need! While there are certainly packing essentials, there are a number of things that many people pack that … More Don’t Pack These Things

We stayed in an awesome location close to the university area, which was surrounded by amazing restaurants, bars, and within … More Travel Guide: Florence, Italy
Pisa is, quite frankly, a huge tourist trap. We were fully planning to skip Pisa, despite it being directly on the way from Cinque Terre to Florence, but once we realized that this was the perfect opportunity to take ridiculous pictures and high five people pretending to hold up the leaning tower, we couldn’t resist … More Travel Guide: Pisa, Italy
We woke up in Manarola on our second day in Cinque Terre, ready to take on the final three towns. Adam and I managed to coerce the rest of our travel group to hike the trail with us, and we set off for Corniglia! We accidentally took the High Trail (we found out later that … More Travel Guide: Cinque Terre, Italy (Part 2)
