Berlin: Beyond Utah Edition
Hey friends! I wanted to branch out and cover one of my “for fun” trips. At the end of February, I ventured to the German capital for a second go at the city (I briefly visited for a day back in 2016). This time around, I stayed for 4 days and set out to explore […]
Layover of the Month: Madrid

August to December had its own special moments (buying my first car, seeing the Chainsmokers live in concert etc), but […]
The Male Traveler Packing List: 5 Days in an European Capital
If you’re reading this, you’re probably one of three categories: #1 you’re a male traveler seeking advice (ya came to the right place), #2 you’re a male who doesn’t usually travel and now you’re going to, #3 you’re the significant other who has to send this link to your husband/boyfriend/brother/son/father/etc to prevent him packing his new soccer […]
Paris on a stomach
Paris on a budget? Paris on a stomach? Why not both! The word “Paris” itself evokes many emotions revolving around gastronomy (a fancy word for food).
