This Chicago Magic Show Will Shatter All Your Quarantine Illusions

November 8, 2020 No Comments
Chicago Magic Lounge's virtual magic show homepage with wine

Just when you thought we’d digitized every imaginable thing, Chicago Magic Lounge still has one more trick up its sleeve—a virtual magic show. Paired with a cocktail hour. So, when Global Debauchery got an opportunity to “attend” a show, I was all in. Drink in hand. …I had no idea I’d experience such a magical […]

America’s Heartland: An Epic Midwest Road Trip Itinerary

July 28, 2020 2 Comments
Downtown Milwaukee on our America's Heartland road trip

What does one do when they’re trapped in their own country indefinitely? Go explore it, of course. (Safely. Legally.) After four cancelled trips and a few months in strict quarantine, things were starting to look up (and they were, at the time). Our home base—DC Metro—had just started reopening after being the United States’ official […]

When one door closes, another one opens. And Turks When one door closes, another one opens. And Turks & Caicos welcomed us with open arms! 🇹🇨 I’m sure the question on everyone’s mind is: “How the h*ll did you even know Turks & Caicos was open for bidness?” Followed quickly by: “How did you figure out how to get in?” 🤷🏻‍♀️ Well, I’m giving you the secrets to the Global Debauchery secret sauce RIGHT HERE.👇 🏝 First, visit kayak.com/travel-restrictions. (Thank you, @kayak!) Select your country of origin and any appropriate filters. For this trip, we went >Caribbean, >Fully vaxxed, >No quarantine. And LOOK! There’s T&C. Click on over and see their entry details in depth, including their vaccination rates and official tourism site links. 🌞 Head on over to their official tourism board site @visittci and they’ve got their Covid requirements front and center! HOWEVER, if you get off-track somehow, find the Covid link in the pink menu. 🌊 The site outlines ALL your requirements with in-depth explanations. For entry into Turks, you need FIVE things: 💉 Your official vaccination docs 👃 A negative Covid test 🤕 Proof of travel insurance 📄 Your “TCI Assured” travel authorization 🛂 A passport. (Duh.) 😎 It probably sounds more complicated than it is, BUT all you need to do is upload your vax certificates, negative test results, and travel insurance info to their TCI Assured page (also found front and center on the homepage). And within 24 hours, you’ll receive an approved travel authorization! ✈️ Upon landing, you’ll be asked for each of these documents, along with a customs form that you’ll receive on the flight. And ENTREÉ. 🏖 NOW all you have to do is go enjoy the sun and sand, my friends. No problem! And—BONUS: Everyone flying in is fully vaxxed and negative! (And T&C has high vax rates themselves, so you can rest easy.) 👉 I’ve heard A LOT of folks are headed here in the near future. Are you one of them? More questions? Ask away. I’m here to help! 📸: Shot from my plane window over the crystal clear, turquoise waters and small atolls of Turks & Caicos. #turksandcaicos #islandvibes #beachvibes #traveldeeper #traveltips

It’s #wanderlust Wednesday, and I have a holiday It’s #wanderlust Wednesday, and I have a holiday travel challenge for ALL of you! …Do you accept the challenge? Comment 👍 or 👎. It’s that time of year when we’re all firming up our holiday plans and, for many of us, that means going to family members X’s house and hanging out for a long weekend. 🏡🥘😴 But I’m challenging you to take these weekends one step further! Find something you’ve never done before in Location X and… GO DO IT. 🤸🏻‍♀️ It could be anything. Be a tourist in your own town; visit a state park or that museum you’ve never gone to in ten years; check out @atlasobscura or @timeouteverywhere and explore something a little #offthebeatenpath; plan a micro adventure! It doesn’t have to be London or NYC. It just needs to be something NEW. 🤩 👉 NOW… tell me what you’re thinking of doing. Explore the possibilities!!! Need help? Just say the word! We’ll be visiting my Adventure Partner’s fam (as we do for the holidays, right?). But instead of driving our usual route down main highways there (no shade to Blue Ridge because it’s gorgeous,💙🌲 but we’ve seen you a thousand times), we’re going to cruise through the rolling green hills of Kentucky horse country! 💚🐎 📸: Of all the incredible waterfalls in Iceland, I think this bitty baby one that we had all to ourselves in the Westfjords might have been my favorite. No crazy fanfare, no massive crowds, just… peaceful trickling water into a baby field of lupine. …Yep. This is the one. #iceland #icelandtravel #waterfalls
Hey, hey, friends! Sadly, we’re nearing the end Hey, hey, friends! Sadly, we’re nearing the end of all my Iceland content (of which there was A LOT). Just a couple more days. BUT—we’re moving on to Turks & Caicos!!! 🤩 PLUS—join me this Fri-yay for another IG takeover with @sheswanderful, AAALLLLLL about Turks & Caicos, including how YOU can get there, too! 🤗 Have you been? If not, WOULD you go? 🏝 📸: Have you ever arrived at a sight and realized you had your vantage point all wrong? Such was the case with Ásbyrgi Canyon. WAY cooler from above (just Google). Peaceful inside nevertheless. 🧘🏻‍♀️ #iceland #icelandtravel #icelandic #icelandtrip #iceland🇮🇸
I used to write a lot about what I called “Meant I used to write a lot about what I called “Meantime Meanderings.” Basically, what to do with yourself between travels and how to really maximize your travels. Even how to expand your definition of “travel.” Here’s a quick tip: Turn a work trip into travel for pleasure. 🧳 My Adventure Partner will be back and forth between DC and The City for a couple months. So, instead of heading up Tuesday, we opted to head up today. We’ll spend two days touring around together and then I’ll have a couple to do my own thing. And the hotel stay is FREE. 🤩 So, OFF we go! We’ve got a few things in the docket, but already have tix for the Frick and Guggenheim. Be sure to check my stories this week for the latest and greatest. ☺️ 📸: As fall sets in, I’m thinking back to Iceland’s incredible summer lupine bloom! Fields and fields of purple. 💜 #traveltips #traveladvice #icelandtravel #icelandtrip #icelandnature
Happy Saturday INDEED! 🙌 Word on the street is Happy Saturday INDEED! 🙌 Word on the street is that gradual openings for Thailand (beyond the Phuket and Samui Sandboxes), Vietnam, India, and Bali are on the horizon!!! 🌅 I’ll keep you posted as I learn more, though supposedly Vietnam will be open to [some] vaxxed travelers this December! 👏 If you were going to visit one (and only one) of those, which would you visit? 💁🏻‍♀️ 📸: The beauty of going your own way? Views like THESE ONES in eastern Iceland that you otherwise wouldn’t get to see! 🤩 #icelandtravel #icelandtrip #iceland🇮🇸 #offthebeatenpath #traveldeeper
