The Perfect Roadtrip from Governor’s Harbor, Eleuthera
Looking to maximize your sight seeing in Eleuthera? Look no further than my step by step guide of all the best spots in Northern Eleuthera.

Is Budapest’s St Stephen’s Basilica Worth It?
One of my biggest pet peeves while traveling is when churches are costly to enter. I am of the opinion that churches should be free or at most request a voluntary donation. When I visited Budapest, one of the biggest attractions (both metaphorically and physically) is St. Stephen’s Basilica. The Neoclassical building towers above its…

Spot the Sculpture in Budapest
I bet you didn’t know that when you visited Budapest, you’d be joining a city-wide scavenger hunt.

Visiting Drachenburg Castle
Caution: Here Be Dragons.

The Fairytale Town of Idstein Germany
The tiny town of Idstein has practically leapt straight from the pages of a fairytale. The half timbered fachwerk buildings with their colorful paint and crooked towers are so whimsical that I felt like I’d stumbled into a movie set during my visit. There’s even a tower reminiscent of Rapunzel! I actually had to google…
