Ahhh, meantime meanderings… or Global Debauchery’s ideas on what the hell to do with yourself in between your glorious travels. Mostly, I come up with creative ways to trick yourself into thinking you’re traveling when you’re not. But sometimes I like to do what I’m doing today and provide drool-worthy wanderlust inspo. Like travel quotes! […]

If you’ve visited a thousand and one castles and cathedrals like the #AdventurePartnerForLife and me, you might be thinking that this is just. another. castle. I have a secret for you, though—it’s not. Welcome to Bran Castle, better known to the world as Dracula’s Castle, and one-time home of the infamous Vlad the Impaler. You […]
