My time in Paris (as with many European destinations for this short period of my travels) was short and sweet. I would hazard a guess that you could spend the better part of a lifetime exploring the various nooks and crannies of Paris. But in as little as five days, you can cover a lot [...]
I recently spent almost a week in southern Germany. I didn’t see any major towns, nor did I attend many tourist attractions. And although I imagine I’ll return to Germany someday, I won’t on this particular trip. And I’m not sorry about it. One of the underlying messages in the documentary A Map For Saturday [...]
I have fallen – head over heels – in love with Spain. My three weeks spent there flew by, and I know I will return to this country. In fact, I’m on a mission to return to Spain as soon as I can, and to stay as long as I can. Something about Spain has [...]

As I walked through the narrow cobblestone streets of Alcala (a town 50km outside of Madrid, where I was the house-guest of a lovely Spanish family for a week), I took in everything I could. [...]
Jason Demant and Sharon Duckworth quit their Silicon Valley jobs last year to travel throughout Asia. Initially planning on a 1-year career break, they quickly realized that wasn’t going to cut it. So while traveling, they’re also trying to build an online business to keep their travel dreams going. Please enjoy a week-in-the-life of Jason [...]
Happy Canada Day! Salutations from Spain, where I’m spending my last of three glorious weeks. After a week’s rest while staying with some friends near Madrid, I’m back at Valdelavilla where I’m volunteering my English chatting skills in exchange for excellent accommodation and meals. (Not to mention the chance to meet some amazing people from [...]
