Many of us dream of cruising the Greek Islands, sunbathing on a lido deck with cocktail in hand. And that does sound amazing. But I wanted my next cruise experience to be something unique, different. Something culturally enriching. Also with cocktail in hand. So I opted for Celestyal Cruises’ 7-day, 3 continent cruise. …It was […]
The Ultimate 7-Day Portugal Itinerary

This beautiful country is home to stunning coastal towns, awe-inspiring landscapes, and my personal favorite—tasty food and drinks. If you’re wondering how to spend an epic week exploring and eating your way […]
Best Cities in Portugal to Get Off the Beaten Path
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 […]
Best Small Towns in Tuscany… Under The Sun
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?

Most Beautiful Cities in Italy You’ve Never Heard Of
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 […]
Tomar, Obidos & A Tour of Belem: A Week In Portugal V.3
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 […]
A Day Trip To Sintra, Portugal: A Week In Portugal V.2
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 […]
Arrival In Lisbon, Portugal: A Week In Portugal V.1
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 […]
Lugano & Liechtenstein, Railing The Riviera & The Alps V.4
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 […]
Monaco to Genoa, Italy, Railing the Riviera & the Alps V.3
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 […]
Andorra to Avignon, Railing the Riviera & the Alps V.2
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 […]
