    You had me at UNESCO: Why I’m head over heels for heritage cities

    UNESCO.  For those of you who aren’t familiar, the acronym may look like letters for a combination gas station/carwash, a bulk goods grocery store, or some Silicon Valley Tech start up, BUT it stands for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.  UNESCO has a mission to promote the protection of natural and cultural sites and that their preservation be a way to educate future generations while bringing awareness to unique places all over the world.  I’ve been checking their website before going to a new place to see if they have a world heritage site near where I’ll be staying and a pattern started to develop.  I love…

    6 Things I should do when I travel that I CONSTANTLY forget

    By now I should be at least 83% of the following: A complete pro at security checkpoints or any kind of airport line for that matter, a suburb packer, fluent in several languages, a geographical genius, pursuer of insane travel deals, have a superhero like ability to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit and an organizer extrodinaire.  I’m almost there people, have patience. I have put together things that I’m consistently finding that I forget or just blatantly ignore when traveling to put to bed the rumor that I’m not a 100% travel pro (like I said, I’m getting there) and the you don’t have to have every duck in a row…

    Coffee Shop Talk: Where to Find the Best Coffee in the World

    Brew a cup, order a Venti, or pop a K-cup in the Keurig because we are breaking down where in the world you can find the best coffee. Can I let you in on a little secret? If you read my story about my trip to a Colombian coffee farm, you already know that I’m the only person you know that doesn’t drink coffee.  Ok, so what makes me an authority on where to drink coffee around the world? I love everything about the caffeinated craving in a cup aside from drinking it, in particular, the coffee shop.  The smell, people all sitting around socializing quietly with friends or working…

    “I’m sick of all this wilderness”: A Day at Glacier National Park

    Being a full time traveler has many advantages and for me personally the pros far outweigh the cons, for one I get to skip out of a lot of the mundane chores and tasks.  I’m happy to avoid grocery shopping at all costs since I don’t have a kitchen to stock, and since I don’t have a house, I haven’t cleaned a toilet in god knows how long.  Oh, the extra perks of constant travel. This can all seem pretty glamorous from an outsiders perspective as I’m out exploring the world while others are at their desks working in a cubicle.  But when you wake up sick, you can call out…
