One of my biggest Global Debauchery fans is my “little” cousin, who’s actually going to be 21 this summer. She’s done a fair bit of traveling with her family growing up, but recently embarked on her first solo international trip to Amsterdam and Berlin. She had some difficulty forming her itinerary and requested that I […]
If you’re as restless as I am, you probably always need something to look forward to in life. For me, it’s always the next destination, the next experience, the next big trip. I’m always in dire need of travel inspiration. Right now, I’m waiting on the latest Yellowstone, Tetons, and Glacier books to release from […]
At 282 feet below sea level, Badwater Basin in Death Valley National Park is the lowest point in the United States. Oddly enough, the highest point in the continental United States, Mount Whitney, is only 85 miles north. The basin’s salt flats cover almost 200 square miles.

For some unknown reason, I’ve harbored an intense, multi-decade fascination with Iceland. Perhaps because we considered moving there instead of Belgium when I was seven years old and I was always curious about the place we didn’t move to. When the usual springtime travel itch came around, my husband and I decided to do it, […]
Some time ago, I was forwarded James Kay’s Lonely Planet article, “The Traveller’s Classic Rites of Passage” and asked which of these rites I, personally, have encountered in my explorations. The answer is all of them. “Reader’s Requests” came to life shortly after and, well, telling those tales on this forum seemed a perfect fit. […]
News flash: You don’t have to take an entire week’s vacation from work to see the world. Take one or two days, attach it to a holiday weekend, and go somewhere you’ve never been before! You don’t even have to spend a fortune to do this. Just think small(er) and get creative. The #AdventurePartnerForLife and […]
