Seeing the World One Step at a Time

Why Philosophy is an Ideal Travel Companion for Adventurous Minds

April 16, 2020 by Emily ThomasLeave a Comment

In 2019, there were 1.4 billion international tourist arrivals globally – and, given that the planet only holds 7.7 billion humans; this figure alone suggests that a lot of us are travelling.

A Beijing Trip with my Mother

April 7, 2020 by Teh Chin Liang2 Comments

Not long ago, I was enticed to watch a Netflix travel show - “Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father”. The show follows Jack Whitehall, a British comedian on a gap year.

High-Speed Train Europe

March 5, 2020 by Devin Galaudet2 Comments

It has been 25 years since the last time I was backpacking through Europe. At the time I bounced through 18 countries with little more than clothes and a tattered Let’s Go guide for the better part of a year. Looking back, most of what I brought with me was easily replaced. Well, except for one thing. That was my Eurail Pass. I held onto it like glue and hopped on and off trains with abandon through 18 countries and had a life-altering … [Read more...]

The affluent area is a shopper's paradise, with shopping malls as far as the eye can see and the Hilton Richmond Short Pump Hotel & Spa, was a comfortable and convenient basecamp for exploring the small town of Ashland, located … [Read more...]
