Apple Picking at Masker Orchards- An NYC Day Trip
Only about an hour’s drive from New York City, apple picking at Masker Orchard is a popular fall-time activity- plus it’s pet friendly! One of the things that I like about this orchard is that it doesn’t actually have to be an expensive day out. Both parking and admission are free, and visitors are free…

Hotel Review: Guadeloupe- La Creole Beach Hotel + Spa
When I told people of my plans to travel to Guadeloupe, I mostly got one response back; “That’s so cool! Where is that?” The butterfly-shaped island is located in the Caribbean between Dominica and Antigua and Barbuda. Unlike some other Caribbean destinations, Guadeloupe’s tourism is a little bit more nature inspired- five stars hotels are…

Dining in Dubrovnik- from a Vegan Perspective
While in Dubrovnik, we were lucky enough to book accommodation with a kitchen. By luck, of course, I mean I planned this- traveling for so many days without expecting to wash our clothes seemed unrealistic, so we’d booked our stay mostly with the intention of taking advantage of the in-unit washer. Of course, the lack…

What We Ate In Split, Croatia
One of the best things about traveling is getting to sample food from all over the world! Every place we checked out in Split was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and trendy to boot. I suspect that more “hole in the wall” establishments are located further from the touristic Old Town Split, but there are still plenty…

An Overview of Dubrovnik, Croatia
Dubrovnik! One of the most popular cities in Croatia and definitely the most popular for Game of Thrones fans eager to see the “real life” King’s Landing, the city has a rich history dating back to around the 7th century, and the beautiful medieval city with its formidable stone walls jutting right up to the…

Bus vs Ferries From Split to Dubrovnik
Although the cities of Split and Dubrovnik are like the most popular options amongst tourists, both cities are well known launching points to ferry around nearby islands and even have a ferry to shuttle passengers between the two cities. When planning our trip, we quickly learned that these ferries are seasonal, with many routes (including…

Manchester, England
Working our way down from York, Manchester was the next stop on our meandering trip through England. What was once the world’s largest marketplace for cotton goods during the British Industrial Revolution, Manchester has gone through an extensive transformation over the past few decades. Large sections of the city have been modernized and old cotton…

How to Spend a Day on the Chicago River
While Chicago is know for its windy and wild winters, its summers more than make up for the frosty seasons. I took my first trip to Chicago in August, and the warm weather had me sticking close to the Chicago River for the entire day.

Visiting Fortress Hohensalzburg
Impossible to miss, Fortress Hohensalzburg dominates the skyline view in Salzburg, Austria. While we originally did not intend to enter the Fortress, I do love a good viewpoint. Plus, the museum was a good way to try to dodge some of the rain we encountered in the city. Although there is a funicular that can…

The Pleasures of Winter in Brussels
While many winter markets are slowly rebranding themselves as “Holiday Markets”, or “Winter Markets”, Brussels is ahead of the game by referring to it’s market as “Plaisir d’Hiver”- Winter Pleasures. Originally, I had made the mistake of thinking that the one collection of market stalls I’d stumbled across was the entire market. I was very…
