Best Kept Secret
Sometimes there are things that seem almost too fantastic to believe. For example, if I told you that within a small area in Wales you could visit Roman ruins, Medieval ruins, early Industrial ruins, and see the birthplace of saints, Hollywood celebrities, and one of the fathers of the American Industrial Revolution, would you believe me?

Let’s be honest. When most people say they “went to Mexico,” all they really have done is book a cheap week at an “all-inclusive,” totally modern resort, and collapsed on a beach, drinking margaritas.

I landed in this magical city in Turkey. Distinct chatter amongst locals, nothing I seem to understand. First stop? Of course, the gorgeous Bosporus bridge that has everyone talking. It's the only bridge in the world that connects two(!) continents: Europe and Asia.
The Best Spots in Cincinnati
Hi readers! We all want to get away, take a long vacation to Australia or backpack through Europe. Although I and as well as many others are big travelers, we don’t always have the means to do so—whether that be money, time, transportation, company, etc. I spend quite a bit of time exploring my backyard (and backyards close to me) and take short day trips visiting each one. I highly recommend doing this and you’ll be surprised at what you find. I will definitely make posts in the future as I share my favorite spots in these cool places I’ve gotten to explore.
Hailey DavisPublished 6 years ago in WanderHow to Talk to Norwegians
Because of their extreme shyness, Norwegians might seem like some of the most confusing people you’ve ever met. Visiting Norway for the first time, you may feel like you’ve landed on a different planet rather than a different country. This doesn't mean that you should avoid talking to Norwegians or visiting Norway. In order to interact with Norwegians, you need to get a look into the well-established rules and customs that control the social interaction between them, even though it may seem like they’ve been taken a bit too far. This guide will explain some of these rules and make sure that, once in Norway, you will be able to act as ‘Norwegian’ as possible.
Margit FagerbekkPublished 6 years ago in WanderThe 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!
Forget Iceland, Go to Cartagena
Caribbean beaches, timeless cobblestone streets, divine food, and an indescribable passion for life, fun, and visitors makes Cartagena an unforgettable trip. I visited for the first time last July with my girlfriend (who grew up there). Here are my impressions, recollections, and recommendations.

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.
Alexis Ybañez-JohnsonPublished 6 years ago in WanderWhy 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.

Garrett McCannPublished 6 years ago in WanderA 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.
Matthew HocuttPublished 6 years ago in WanderPreparing for Travel
On the run up to my trip to Ghana, I starting preparing properly just after the New Year (to leave mid-February) and, to be honest, it would be easier for me to write a post about what NOT to do. So that's what I'm going to start with, here goes:
