Oh, Portugal. You steal my heart every time. My first Portuguese experience was actually a trip to the Azores. Followed by a trip to mainland Portugal. Followed by another trip to Madeira. And—can you believe?—I’ve still barely scratched the surface of this incredible country. So I brought some friends in to advise on the best […]
Who doesn’t love Tuscany, amiright? But Global Debauchery isn’t here to tell you everything you already know about a place. No, it exists to help you travel deeper. And how do we do that? By telling you about all the best small towns in Tuscany you didn’t even know existed. Lesson of the day: Never […]
I’ve yet to discover a person who hates Italy. But I’ve also met very few who’ve explored outside the major cities of Rome, Florence, or Venice. And everyone is missing out. You know Global Debauchery is here for all the offbeat spots. So — true to form — it’s with great pleasure that I introduce […]
Excited to have the medieval towns of Tomar and Obidos on the docket, as well as a whole day touring the Lisbon neighborhood of Belem! Finally discovered that the coffee station I found was there every morning before breakfast, which is better than nothing at all. At the very least, I’ve stopped being a raving […]
Another day, another search for early morning coffee. There was a tour group departing in the lobby and I saw they had a little coffee set-up waaay in the back, so I snookered some coffee from there. I have no idea if this coffee was always here before the breakfast hour, or if I was […]
Oh, yes. We have arrived! It’s fair to say that actually getting to Lisbon, Portugal was a bit of a mess, but all turned out well in the end. And we have a full week ahead of us to find all the fun things to do in Lisbon. (And in the country.) Sigh. Yes, it’s […]
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 […]
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 Maps is super fun… as is the back and forth up and down switchbacks and […]
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 town in the mountains of Spain called Baga. NOTE: THIS POST HAS BEEN SPONSORED AND/OR […]
Our Riviera/Alps Railing Itinerary It’s interesting. For all the times I’ve been to Europe, I hadn’t yet explored this part of Europe. I’ve been to Spain and France and Italy and Switzerland before, but—aside from Barcelona—not these specific parts of them. And the Adventure Partner For Life hadn’t been to Spain at all. So we […]
