It’s that time of year, folks. Many of us are well into the snowy season. And many of us have been quarantined or house-bound for weeks at a time. We’re all dreaming of some tropical, sunny paradise to take all our cares away. And, while we simply can’t go much of anywhere right now, we […]
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of South Dakota. And I was really looking forward to showing it off to the #AdventurePartner on our Nebraska & Dakotas road trip. I imagine folks who’ve never visited the state would have zero idea exactly how many exceptional things to do in South Dakota there are. But, […]
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 […]
Nebraska is one of the least-visited states in the United States, but our recent road trip through Cornhusker country truly left me wondering why. There are indeed vast expanses of grassland, but I find that particular landscape really intriguing. Not to mention the endless pioneer stories, which had me obsessively reading all about the Donner […]
You may or may not know that this blog was started when yours truly was pursuing her 40×40 (40 countries by age 40, which I smashed by the way). And, to be honest, I’ve yet to establish another travel goal for myself. But the #AdventurePartnerForLife has—to visit all fifty states. And who am I to […]
The massive structure watches over an otherwise unassuming West Virginia town. While the stone building is imposing, it’s not at all threatening. A manicured lawn and sparkling fountain welcome you upon approach. And, as you stroll the grounds, you’d never know—from the outside—that the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum was once home to some of the most […]
It never fails to amaze me exactly how much stuff there is to do in Washington, DC. Even after ten years of living here. And can you believe this will be my very first blog post about my hometown? But it’s not uncommon for people to be so focused on traveling away that they forget […]
Did you know… there’s an island in the Chesapeake Bay that’s been so isolated, for so many years, that to this day its residents speak with an actual “relic accent?” Did you know the island is only accessible by boat? That it’s one of the oldest English-speaking settlements in the region? And, that it has […]
Not a huge fan of beer? Wine not quite your thing? Connoisseur of adult beverages? Then mead might be for you. When it came time for Global Debauchery to embark on a quintessential Maryland getaway in the Chesapeake, I was beyond excited to pair the trip with our neighborhood meadery, Maryland Meadworks. Not only does […]
Although my most recent trip through America’s heartland was a road trip, we actually traveled in all kinds of different ways—subway, airplane, Uber, driving, walking. And in several different states—Maryland, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana. Being the Type A traveler that I am and, being in the middle of Coronavirus in the US, I […]
