Inside the Red Keep: Game of Thrones Tour in Dubrovnik

Europe · October 23, 2014

Game of Thrones Tour Dubrovnik

Living without a TV and traveling for so many years has left us completely out of touch with popular culture. It wasn’t until a few months ago that we starting saying to each other, ‘What’s this GoT thing that people keep talking about on Facebook?’ It seemed this “Game of Thrones” had somewhat of a […]

Eating Italy: A Walking Food Tour in Rome

Europe · October 18, 2014

Eating Italy Food Tour Rome

One of the biggest reasons we couldn’t wait to get to Italy was the food! When we heard about Eating Italy Food Tours and their eating expeditions with local foodie experts, our minds and our stomachs could not pass it up. We’d never heard of Testaccio in our reading about Rome, but as it turns […]

An Insider’s Look into a Paris Flea Market: The World’s Largest

Europe · September 29, 2014

Paris Flea Market Les Puces

Exit Porte de Clignancourt metro station and start heading towards Paris’ famed ‘Les Puces de Saint-Ouen’ flea market, and you might start getting that disappointing feeling of a wasted trip. Did I just wake up early and travel all the way to the ‘burbs for this? Actually you’re technically outside of Paris now, but let’s […]

Celebrating July 14th Paris

There’s always a risk when you hold such high expectations of a place. That you’ve built it up so much in your head, no reality can possibly live up to it. Yet I went to Paris with an assuredness like no other. I’d fantasized about Paris for so long, there was almost no way I […]

5 Things we Learned about Italy in the First 48 Hours

Europe · August 17, 2014

Nasoni water fountain, Rome

Every new place we visit presents us with new learning opportunities. Different cultures and norms, add another language in there too, and you’re suddenly thrown into perhaps the most enthralling educational game you’ll ever play. The means to reaching the next level? Dive right in and soak it all up. Learn from your mistakes, then […]

10 Absolutely Fascinating Things to do in Sarajevo

Europe · July 22, 2014

Sebilj Fountain, Bašcaršija Old Town, Sarajevo

Sarajevo instantly pulled me in. It’s not one of those cities that needed time to “grow on me” or left me undecided about whether I liked it or not. From the moment we stepped out into the old city, it had me. And I willingly let it. One of the downsides of travelling full-time is […]

Celebrating July 14th in Paris & What it Means to Me

Europe, Personal Musings · July 18, 2014

Bastille Day, July 14th Fireworks, Eiffel Tower, Champ de Mars, Paris, France

I like to think there’s a reason for me being born on July 14th and my unfathomable obsession with Paris and politics. The annual 14th of July celebrations in France (officially La Fête Nationale or The National Celebration) marks the day of Storming of the Bastille in 1789 in which common folk revolted against the reigning […]

Soccer Fuel: Eating Raw Meat in Turkey

Europe, Personal Musings · June 12, 2014

Çiğ köfte

“I need you,” was the very blunt statement presented to Hai as we entered the door. It had come from our host in Şanlıurfa, Turkey, just minutes before we were about to leave again to watch his weekly soccer match. “Our goal keeper has had to go back to his hometown unexpectedly for family reasons.
