Friday Postcard: Varanasi, India
Posted on 30. Apr, 2010 by Steph.
These postcards are from the financial guru Young and Thrifty from her trip to India. She says: The first one a temple along the river. This was taken just as the sun was rising, so it was eerily quiet. The second was is a sunrise on the Ganges river…I think there was a deceased cow [...]

Time to Go?
Posted on 29. Apr, 2010 by Steph.
Guestpostravaganza continues for the time being (weigh in with your opinion here) with a really interesting and honest contribution from Abby Tegnelia on a side of travel nobody likes to consider: Ever since I conned my parents into letting me jet off to Europe on a senior trip with a high school group I didn’t [...]

April Update and Links
Posted on 27. Apr, 2010 by Steph.
Honestly, I’m going to stop saying “this was a busy month” because every month is turning out to be a busy one. As I get closer to The Big Trip and as Twenty-Something Travel continues to grow, things are only going to get more hectic. To my surprise I like it that way! Most of [...]

Posted on 25. Apr, 2010 by Steph.
Believe it or not, I didn’t fly cross-country last week with the intention of falling head over heels for San Francisco. I actually went out to California to visit my college friend Susan.

Friday Postcards: Dover, England
Posted on 23. Apr, 2010 by Steph.
Of all the castles I’ve seen in England, Dover is the most impressive. It had to be. Perched over the English Channel, Dover Castle was the first line of defense against potential invaders (be they French marauders or German Nazis).

The Secrets of Alfama
Posted on 22. Apr, 2010 by Steph.
Today’s guest poster, Fiona Hillard, talks about a city I’ve never been to but would love to visit: Lisbon. My abiding images of Lisbon will always be vertigo-inducing hills, paper-thin custard pastries and the twinkling lights of the 25 de Abril Bridge. But it’s unassuming Alfama that lies at the heart of this enchanted, fairytale [...]

Flirting with San Francisco
Posted on 20. Apr, 2010 by Steph.
Travel, like dating, is an exercise in possibilities. A thrilling rendezvous with a new city is all about getting to know each other, searching for a common connection. Do I like how this place makes me feel? Could I see myself, working, playing, and living here? Could I make a long-term commitment? It’s a game [...]

Posted on 18. Apr, 2010 by Steph.
There is a reason that Croatia is such a European hot spot, and that reason is the stunning Dalmatia Coast. During my Australian Party Island Hopping Cruise I got to see quite a bit of the golden island which dot this corner of the Adriatic. Here are some of the highlights. The heart of the [...]
