Hitchhiking a boat across the Atlantic Ocean

April 9, 2017 by Jakob Horvat2 Comments

My mission was clear: "Hitchhiking from Austria to America" by land and sea. Sailing across the Atlantic Ocean was the last episode of this first part of my world trip. And there had been moments when I seriously wondered "why the hell am I doing that?" Why should I cover a distance of 2.700 nautical miles on a 38 feet sailing catamaran? What's the point in swinging over a million waves when one can so easily fly over the? Why taking a boat, that … [Read more...]

Northern Galicia Coast: Rinlo and Cathedral Beach

October 29, 2016 by Brooke Heron1 Comment

I ended up visiting Cathedral Beach in Galicia by chance. My boyfriend and I had planned a weekend in Galicia (we're currently living in Madrid short-term for his job, but he's from Galicia) and we decided to simply look for a casa rural (a rurally located Spanish B&B) that was a good price, and that was in a good location. Where, didn't matter all that much. I had wanted to explore Galicia long before I met my boyfriend so when we met, … [Read more...]

Nine Reasons to Visit the Azores Now

September 7, 2016 by Jaime Scilingo15 Comments

Name the group of nine European islands merely four-and-a-half hours from Boston Logan Airport. Stumped? You are not alone.  Most of America has never heard of the Azores, couldn't locate them on a map, and wouldn't know what part of Europe claims them as countrymen.  For the few who do know of the Atlantic eden 900 miles west of Portugal, this Zion is a cherished gift and a dichotomous burden.  On one hand, the beauty and virginal nature of the … [Read more...]
