Last month, I started my European trip in Portugal. After enjoying the northern city of Porto for a few days, I needed to get my ass sun kissed a bit. I spent a few days in Lagos (post to come), but I also spent a few days in Faro, the biggest city in the Algarve region, but…
Greetings once again from the road! This post is dedicated to the 2nd destination on my 5 month journey, Porto, Portugal. I got here by direct flight from The Azores (only about 2.5 hours) and had an easy trip into the city center via the metro. Porto is the 2nd largest city in Portugal behind…

From climate change to Pacific garbage patch, there is a myriad of problems which threaten our continued existence on Earth.

As I’m pushing 30 years old, the days of crashing on straw mattresses at $2/night hostels are basically over for me. The backpacking days were a special time in my life and ones of massive growth, but now a days, I opt more for comfort and convenience over the game of “how little can…
In the seemingly endless sea of online content promoting certain destinations, sponsored or not, it gets to be quite cumbersome to sort through it all and decide what places are actually going to be better than your expectations, and some that will most certainly, not live up to them.

Where the hell is Kosice (pronounced Ko-See-Che ) you ask? I had no idea either, but after a bit of research and…
Encompassing 9 islands (small islands) in the middle of the Atlantic, The Azores are a pretty remote place. One that most Americans, minus the few in the Greater Boston Area have ever even heard of. Why did I go there? Who knows. Was I impressed? Most definitely. My uncle Eddie is in fact an Azorean, one that left…
So I’ve known about my big trip for about a month now, but I didn’t want to say anything about it until I actually knew where I was going to start! But, I finally made it happen. After my 2 month trip earlier last year to Asia, I opened the flood gates and all I could…

It has got to that time of year again where line-ups are being announced and tickets are selling out – and although there’s no Glasto in England’s gloriously wet south-west this summer, there are plenty of festivals to satisfy every foot tapping, roof-raising festival goer out there. Head away from famously damp Britain to the…
Headed to the Canary Islands? You’ve got to check out the island of Lanzarote. This little isla is a gem and not so well known the world over. It’s located in the Atlantic Ocean off of the coast of Morocco but is actually a part of Spain. We’ll tell you what you gotta see, but…
