March 29, 2017 by Connor CLeave a Comment

While some people tend to be instantly drawn to cities and beaches when they think of Europe, there is in fact far more on offer on the continent that most of us realise. Sightseeing aside, it should not be forgotten that there are just as many remote and fascinating mountain ranges and hiking trails in Europe as there are in other parts of the world which tend to get more publicity on the subject. If you are looking to try your hand at hiking … [Read more...]

A Few Interesting Notes about St. Barths in the Caribbean

April 7, 2016 by DaveLeave a Comment

Here are a few notes from what I was told by those living on the island and or from first hand experience. - Flying onto the short airport runway in a small plane is an exciting experience - The island is only 8 square miles but due to its mountainous topography feels bigger than it actually is - The island's electricity is powered by diesel generators - Homes have cisterns to collect rainwater - The roads are narrow and windy and people … [Read more...]

You know? Sleeping in an airport ain’t so bad

March 23, 2016 by Will SandovelLeave a Comment

Traveling for me is the memorable experience of exploring countries that few have had the privilege of visiting. I have travelled to many countries around the world; during my journeys I have experienced both amazing, yet sometimes even unpleasant things. One of these unpleasant experiences is when you look up at the monitors in an airport and see that your flight has been severely delayed. If you fly, you are certainly familiar with this - … [Read more...]

Crawling Around Dublin from Pub to Pub

September 1, 2015 by Dave4 Comments

The only thing I figured out how to do during my short stay in Dublin was crawl from pub to pub. In fact I am writing this now from the standing room only interior of Grogans Castle Pub. Everyone is drinking beer out of Guinness glasses but I am drinking a Swedish Cider. And apparently a cheap one at that. Speaking of cider I've finally discovered a country that can give Sweden a run for the money on the matters of quality cider; that would be … [Read more...]
