While waiting on our cab in the hotel lobby, my dad took up a conversation with another American soldier. He mentioned that we were on our way to Vilnius, but it was clear the soldier had zero idea where that was. My dad elaborated—Lithuania. (Literally, the country right next door. Literally, dude.) “Oh, oh!” A […]
The next morning we caught a bus to Riga, Latvia. The buses here are really nice. They have coffee machines and “in-bus” entertainment. The whole trip was about four hours, so not too bad. One interesting thing was that the homes outside the city in Estonia are huge by European standards, and even by American […]
I’ve been having this never-ending internal debate about whether to actively journal my travels on Facebook as I normally do, or to save them and create blog posts later, which I’ll eventually do anyway. Meanwhile, the #AdventurePartnerForLife (at home) has been wondering where my usual entries are this trip, so I figure I’ll go ahead […]
I ‘d heard of Americans still traveling to Mexico in the midst of Covid here and there. A “someone-who-knows-someone” kinda thing. But I didn’t actually personally know anyone. And, after the spring surge calmed and the lockdowns subsided stateside, I was curious about a quick, international fall escape. So, we opted for Cancun. And had […]
Well, I dunno about you, but when it comes to the Caribbean, I’m a sucker for the lesser-known islands. The well-known ones are popular for good reason, of course, but in true Global Debauchery fashion, I like exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations. I feel like it gives a more authentic experience. So, while I shared the best […]
It’s that time of year, folks. Many of us are well into the snowy season. And many of us have been quarantined or house-bound for weeks at a time. We’re all dreaming of some tropical, sunny paradise to take all our cares away. And, while we simply can’t go much of anywhere right now, we […]
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of South Dakota. And I was really looking forward to showing it off to the #AdventurePartner on our Nebraska & Dakotas road trip. I imagine folks who’ve never visited the state would have zero idea exactly how many exceptional things to do in South Dakota there are. But, […]
Let’s be thankful for family and friends and cheers to our health this holiday season. But mostly—let’s all cheers to 2020 being almost over, shall we? If there was ever a year to allow oneself to get rip-roaring annihilated, it’s this one. Amiright? So, in true Global Debauchery fashion, may I present to you: 10 […]
A Day In Lugano So, now we begin our journey from the Riviera into the Alps—Italian, Swiss, and German. I’ll admit I was relieved to be heading to Lugano, and away from Genoa, but I’ll also take personal responsibility for the experience. Everything I read on the internet (post-walking tour) said it was a medieval […]
