We’re all familiar with the allure of Paris, Rome, London, 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 you go for a truly amazing experience outside of the standard European tourist destinations? Here, I’ll […]
My, oh my, how things change as we age, eh? It used to be the case that the #AP4L and I never wanted to go the same place twice. Because it meant forgoing a whole new place, right? But yes. I’m starting to learn the benefits of repeat visits and, dare I say… slow travel. […]
England is among the few “repeat countries” the #AdventurePartnerForLife and I have on our lists. I’m actually half-English and a dual citizen, but hadn’t invested any time in England for almost twenty years. And neither one of us had ever been to Wales. So, we decided to go back and see some new things on […]
Global Debauchery in Ireland & Northern Ireland Ireland and Northern Ireland hold a special place in my heart. I’d already spent most of my childhood traveling, but this trip was among the first international ventures I embarked upon as an adult. It also marked the first of many international trips to come for me and […]
All Around the Isle of Skye Oh, so many ferries this trip. Not so many once we get into the Scottish Highlands, though. First ferry of the day required no booking. We arrived five minutes before the next one was set to take off and they had room for another car, so we made it […]
Road-Tripping Scotland to Islay Had to wake up very early to get to the ferry terminal after my very non-baronial night’s sleep. We learned only by chance that you had to book tickets in advance when one of our hotels emailed us to let us know and then our original ferry time got cancelled and […]
Driving Around the Faroe Islands Yaaasss. I finally slept in! And I slept really well. Desperately needed. We got a late start and barely made breakfast time, but it was so worth it. Jeff learned earlier that morning that all the Faroe Islands ferries to Mykines, the puffin island, were cancelled for the day due […]
Faroe Islands, Here We Come! Oh my God. For such an awesome room upgrade, sleeping on last night’s mattress was like sleeping on concrete. But, I’m super excited to be visiting the Faroe Islands! I did not sleep well. Drunk sleep (you know, the totally non-restorative kind), rock-hard mattress, jet lag. I’m completely exhausted today. […]
