Missing New Zealand

Thursday, June 17, 2010

Today’s guest post comes from Amanda Williams who blogs at A Dangerous Business. It really spoke to me because I know exactly what it’s like to miss a foreign country like it was a living breathing person. I often think of London like it’s a lost love, and I think many of us have somewhere [...]

I’m a big fan of today’s guest poster, Matt from LandLopers. His vibrant account of the medina in Marrakech has me dying to visit Morrocco. I can honestly say that I have never tried to find the closest apothecary. Drug stores, supermarkets, yes; apothecaries, not so much. Of course that was before my trip to [...]

An Important Addition to your Travel To-Do List: Exercise

Today’s guest post stresses a lesson I could stand to do better on myself: the importance of being physically fit while traveling. On Emei Shan last month, we reached roughly 1,200 meters’ altitude before I started to feel like I wanted to die. Which might sound like an achievement, except that we’d taken a cable [...]

Thank you to everyone who voted in last week’s poll! It is so important to me to have input from you guys, it makes me feel like I’m not just writing into a dark void. What I learned was that you really like having guest posts on this blog, as long as they are interesting [...]

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 [...]

The Secrets of Alfama

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 [...]

Today’s postcard comes from Garret of Hostel Dog. In addition to selling neat t-shirts Garret seems to have a thing for pimping out his photos. This one is of the impressive Hong Kong skyline. (Do you have a photo you’d like to see featured here? Email me at Steph@twenty-somethingtravel.com)

Monkeying Around in Udaipur

Last time we heard from Alex Budak he was exploring a temple full of sacred rats in India. He’s returned to share another of his bizarre stories (he seems to attract them). While less horrifying than the last, this one is definitely PG-13: Scarves, rugs, and tea boxes — to be honest I was pretty [...]

How to Make Friends Abroad

Congratulations! You’ve made the leap and moved to another country. You’ve covered all the logistics–apartment, insurance, bank account, tax identification number–and oriented yourself to your new surroundings. But now that you’ve settled in, a new, more cringe-worthy challenge, awaits–making friends. Now, depending on your age and how often you’ve moved, striking up conversations with strangers [...]
