What to Expect in Eleuthera, Bahamas
Eleuthera is an outer island of the Bahamas. Pronounced “ee-loo-thra”, the island is named after the Greek word for “free”. The island is very narrow, with a minimum width of just 30 feet. In length, Eleuthera measures 110 miles- so it can still take some time to drive from end to end. How to Get…

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…

It’s a huge complex offering eighteen pool, three of which are outside, and easily accessible from city center via the M1 Metro to the Syéchenyi Fürdő station which drops visitors immediately outside the baths.

Camping in Capitol Reef National Park
After all these years, Capitol Reef remains my favorite of Utah’s Big-Five National Parks. It’s so nice I’ve actually been twice! Unlike many of our other National Parks, Capitol Reef has no lodge or restaurant within its boarders. If you want to stay in the park, you’ll need to camp. I was traveling in an…

What I Wish I Knew Before Visiting Stockholm, Sweden
How To Travel From The Airport The most common and subsequently most expensive way to travel from Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport is by way of the Arlanda Express. This high speed train takes just 18 minute to get to city center from the airport and will run visitors about 320SEK each way. I used this method…
