The Beauty of Budapest
Traveling the world and seeing different cultures is always an amazing experience. In Eastern Europe there are a great many wonderful countries to visit and sites to see. One of the most amazing countries that I have experienced is Hungary. Hungary is an amazing country that has one of the oldest languages and is one of the only European countries to have its own language that is not similar or in common with any other country in the world. I have a special love for Hungary and Budapest in itself, as my ancestors are from there, but that is not the only reason I find it a beautiful place to visit. Hungary is host to one of Europe's longest and most beautiful rivers called "Big Blue" by Europeans: the Danube River. The Danube is used for many things in the lives of Hungarians. On either side of the Danube river lies the capital of Hungary: Budapest. Each side a completely different lifestyle is at play. One is all about the peaceful calm of the countryside and the other is full of the hustle and bustle city life!

Lester, WA
October 2016 was an odd month for me. I got married on the 14th, and was promptly wisked away on a Washington road trip of abandonded cities and their ruins.

Why You Should Move to Kensington, Brooklyn
When I moved to Kensington, Brooklyn five years ago, almost everybody I knew was like "Kensi-whatnow?" But after a couple of years, I definitely know now what I sort of knew then: Kensington is the best.

A Perfect Day in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Waking up to the smell of coffee and toast was the perfect way to start my day, eager to explore a city that I only heard through conversations with friends. I rushed to send my emails and return client calls, so I could start my journey.

Date Night in the Carolinas
There is nothing like a memorable date. One thing that makes date night even more special is where you have that magical date night. Location is very important in making your date night magical.

Living Near the Mountains
Traveling is a passion of mine. When I visit a new location whether it is a new city, state, or country I always try to do something new. I am adventurous; I will try anything, at least once. My new adventure has been that I recently moved to Colorado Springs. I am still going to travel to other states, because it is a goal of mine to visit all 50 states but the great thing about Colorado is that there is so much to do within the state that I live in. From Colorado Springs to the entrance to the Rocky Mountain National Park is around an hour and forty-five minutes depending on traffic. (Side note — do not try to head to the park and leave the park during rush hours. We left there around 4:30, getting us stuck in the 5 o’clock traffic — adding an extra hour to our drive home.) If you are lucky enough to live in Colorado or visit here, I highly recommend staying near Estes Park or Boulder.

Peles Castle: Worth Visiting
The "Peles Castle" is one of Romania's most prized and visited edifice. Its beauty is remarkable and it is worth visiting and taking your time to embrace it. It has an impressing architecture and collections of furniture, sculptures and paintings to match it. While you will wonder throw those halls you will feel like you were taken back in time. It also has a history to match its splendour. So let's go back 144 years ago to the moment when the construction of the castle first started and the reasons why it was built.

Tourism in Carmel, CA
I adore Carmel because it is so walkable. You can park the car and part ways with it for much of the weekend. It is in some ways the jewel of Monterey County. The downtown is full of tasting rooms, it is easy to get to the beach and there are some great restaurants. And the hiking at Pt. Lobos State Park offers some astounding views.
