Train Ride Through the Tea Mountains

2 September 2010

During a recent trip to Sri Lanka I had the pleasure of taking a three-day train ride through the Tea Mountains. The first leg of the trip was about two hours and went from Ella to Hepatale. A days rest in Hepatale to explore the Tea Plantations, drink the tea and enjoy the peaceful mountain [...]

Before I had this blog, I had a blog. When I was studying abroad and again when I was working in London I maintained a lovely little blogger blog. Before this beautiful monster of a blog existed, my aims were sweet and simple. I wanted to keep in touch with the people at hone, and [...]

I’m leaving the United States indefinitely exactly one month from today. I’ve given my notice at work and told everyone I know, so there’s no going back now. Everyone keeps asking me how excited I am and the truth is- right now not so excited. Not even nervous. Right now all I can feel is [...]

Your One Stop Post for Accommodation on a Shoe String

Today’s guest post comes from Anna Cleal, who knows a thing or two about finding a place to sleep that will fit your (minimal) budget. I know I’m at the risk of sounding cliché by using the terms shoe string and travel in the same sentence, BUT hear me out on this one because I [...]

In Rome, Past is Present

Rome is enormous, and that’s why I love it. It’s not just that it’s a big city (although it is), or that it has an unmistakable frenetic energy. Rome is one of those European capitals that is truly epic. It’s history stretches two and a half thousand years back, far past the time of Jesus [...]

I know we are all fans of independent travel around here, but there are times when nothing but a tour will cut it. Today’s guest post describes an adventurous, budget, African safari. “This is not a holiday, it’s an adventure,” Michel, our Mozambican guide, informed us.

A Roman Holiday

I wasn’t actually in rome for Christmas, just until December 23rd. It sure felt festive though: It was a great time to visit; festive and cheery, lacking in tourists and good weather. It might have been geography, or just luck but compared to chilly Venice and Florence, Rome was downright pleasant. At times it seemed [...]

What I’m Taking With Me: Memories From Ocean City

8 August 2010

I spent last weekend out of town at the least glamorous beach on earth. No palm trees or glistening white sand for me. I barely left the tri-state area. I went on holiday to Ocean City, Maryland. And it was glorious. If you’ve never been to Ocean City, you really aren’t missing all that much. [...]

Two years ago I studied abroad in what would grow to be my all-time favorite city in the world, London. Seriously… Greatest. City. Ever. While I was crazy excited about [...]
