Let’s be thankful for family and friends and cheers to our health this holiday season. But mostly—let’s all cheers to this year being almost over, shall we? If there was ever a year to allow oneself to get rip-roaring annihilated, […]
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 […]
We successfully made our train and disembarked. Interesting thing about Monte Carlo—which you know about in theory, but not in reality—it’s built on the side of a mountain… which means, it’s basically buildings stacked on top of buildings, so… Google […]
A Day Trip to Andorra It was a long, albeit relaxing, day and actually included stops in three countries—Spain, France, and Andorra. Tomorrow, we’d travel back into France again to tour around Avignon. Our first stop was in a medieval […]

Not a huge fan of beer? Wine not quite your thing? Connoisseur of adult beverages? Then mead might be for you. When it came time for Global Debauchery to embark on a quintessential Maryland getaway in the Chesapeake, I was […]
We’re all familiar with the allure of Paris, Rome, London, and Barcelona… and these cities are indeed deserving of their reputations. Everyone should see the Sacre Coeur or the Trevi Fountain at least once in their lifetime. But where can […]
