Seeing the World One Step at a Time

The Doll Lady of Wisconsin

November 18, 2016 by Sharon Nadja Zajdman3 Comments

The Doll Lady of Wisconsin

On the first anniversary of my mother’s passing, a letter was forwarded to me from the Holocaust Center. My mother had been prominent in Holocaust Education. A woman in Wisconsin was writing a book and looking for my mother to provide her with background information.   The Center didn’t know what to do with the letter, so they forwarded it to me. Enclosed were photographs of my mother, taken in her home. I called the woman in Wisconsin … [Read more...]

Traveling on a Budget in 2016

Traveling on a Budget in 2016

Traveling can be a pretty expensive venture. Expensive is, of course, a relative term. Each traveler has different financial capacities, preferences, and responsibilities. However, despite the wide-ranging financial dynamics, no one likes to spend more than they can afford or pay more for less value. Everyone wants to get the maximum value for every penny they spend. The year 2016 has been and will continue to be an exciting and affordable year … [Read more...]

Cultural Differences and Odd Superstitions

Cultural Differences and Odd Superstitions

It is a truth universally acknowledged that tourists on holiday are likely to make fools of themselves. From telling an Italian to “rock on” with the seemingly-innocent hand gesture (which locally implies that his wife is being unfaithful) to giving a local Thai guide the thumbs-up (the native equivalent of the middle finger), it’s perfectly easy for the travelling man to offend his hosts, be ejected from a taxi and eternally shame himself, all … [Read more...]

Greece’s Hidden Gem

March 31, 2016 by Preethi Chandrasekhar3 Comments

Greece’s Hidden Gem

I recently discovered a secret Greece has been hiding from the world. It’s called Meteora. The town is a hidden gem, a few hours from Athens. Fully prepared to be swept off my feet by the island of Santorini, I fell in love instead with this magical place, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. My dad was turning 70 in September. I don’t know about you, but that felt like a big deal birthday to me. I could buy him yet another full sleeved shirt, or … [Read more...]

5 Of the Best Beaches around the World

Some people love the sight of sky touching mountains, some love bathing in the soft essence of the twilight and there are also some who loves to see the sea getting lost in the horizon from the sandy shores. Beaches around the world have attracted travelers for as long as our history. The sky and the ocean floor blends in together to fill our hearts with a soothing sensation that’s easy to fall in love with. All our worldly troubles seems to … [Read more...]

Ridiculously Awesome Travel Tips For a 7 Day Trip to Antalya

Ridiculously Awesome Travel Tips For a 7 Day Trip to Antalya

This is the sequel to my first post and this one is all about my stay in Antalya. Our trip to Turkey was two weeks long; eight days were spent in Antalya and six days in Istanbul. Although we initially planed to go to Cappadocia, Fethiye and Pamukkale, ultimately we weren't up for all the extra travel and hassle. If you have the time and energy to do so, than definitely check these places out as they are often a part of visitor's typical … [Read more...]

How-To-Guide To Fall In Love with Istanbul

How-To-Guide To Fall In Love with Istanbul

This is my third and last post about my trip to Turkey.  So without further ado, let me address the elephant in the room...the very popular and in my opinion, the highly overrated, Istanbul. Before you object to this, I will admit a visit to this city is matter of personal taste and preferences; because I take travelling very seriously (insert joke here), I offer my honest opinions on experiences and activities that others may gloss over … [Read more...]

22 “Slash” Bus or “Take the White Bus” or “Infopoint” –Bari to Dubrovnik!!

July 24, 2014 by Kirsten HarrisLeave a Comment

22 “Slash” Bus or “Take the White Bus” or “Infopoint” –Bari to Dubrovnik!!

Bari, Italy is a sleepy, small seaside town, which seems only relevant to get ferry passengers to Greece, Croatia, or Albania. But that’s how it seems on paper and the Roma Termini train station. Really, it’s slightly more complicated than that. I suppose the wonder of travel and the fun of it begins when your expectations don’t quite meet the reality. And navigating through that actuality & confusion is the delight, even though it may not … [Read more...]

Looking for Sunshine in Lithuania

Looking for Sunshine in Lithuania

With my brother and my friend looking to escape the miserable weather we've had all week (they are flying down to Greece in a few days) we opted for a trip together to the countryside before we parted ways. Today we visited Trakai, a prominent and historical Lithuanian Castle located on an island. Spotting an empty boat sitting near the drawbridge to the castle on the water's edge we walked on board. There were no guests but rather three crew … [Read more...]
