The Getty [1200 Getty Center Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90049] is one of the most fabulous art museums I have ever been to, both inside and out! Entrance is free, but parking will run you $15 – which was worth the price for the cultural phenomenon. There is so much […]

No trip to LA is complete without a visit to Griffith Park. Iconic Griffith Park is to LA what Central Park is to NYC, there is something to see for anyone visiting. You can spend an entire day exploring, or even years and never see it all. Griffith is America’s […]
Driving into Malibu on the curvaceous roads you’ll see ritzy cars and glamorous homes on top of the hills across from the ocean. This is the pinnacle of living, take part in it, at least for a few hours. One of the most scenic beaches in the area is El […]
When I told a friend I would be staying in the town of Joshua Tree he said, ‘Why? There’s nothing in the town but the park – stay in Palm Springs instead.’ I was nervous about my decision, had I made a mistake? As it turns out I visited both […]
If you’re in Split you simply cannot miss it. The structure: a fortress of ancient marble quarried locally in the 4th century AD to serve as a retirement home for a Roman emperor. Today Diocletian’s Palace is in and out of time at the epicenter of a booming city. Truth […]
Of all the museums to choose from in a city, I insisted on Froggyland [Kralja Tomislava 5, Split, Croatia]. Everyday I would tell my companion after long weary hours of exploration, let’s go to Froggyland and at last – she was worn down by my incessant exuberance. Heck, I even […]
If you love to swim, sun, and have fun – you can’t beat the action-packed scene at Bacvice beach [Bregovita ul. 11, 21000, Split, Croatia] in Split. Bacvice definitely isn’t a quiet secluded beach. It’s walking distance from downtown Split, so crowds are to be expected. We skipped the packed […]
I couldn’t be happy that our hostel in Split was just a stone throw away from the Green Market [ul. Stari Pazar, Split, Croatia], or Pazar as the locals call it. You’ll find a variety of fresh fruit at great prices here. We went to the same vendor every time […]
Budapest is a city of baths. There are many to choose from, but which is perfect for your thermal experience? After some research it was decided that Széchenyi Baths [Budapest, Állatkerti krt. 9-11, 1146 Hungary] fit the bill for my friend and I. The location was right, close to where […]
A great way to spend a few hours, and get some great exercise, is walking around Gellert Hill [Budapest, Gellért-hegy, 1118 Hungary]. If you’re staying on the Pest side, I would recommend walking over Liberty bridge to get there. It really adds to the whole experience. There are a number […]
If you only have one night in Budapest and you want to party, Szimpla Kert or Simple Garden [Budapest, Kazinczy u. 14, 1075 Hungary] is the place to spend it. The city has a unique bar scene with containing ruin pubs, bars which were established in post-WWII ruined buildings of […]
The sweat is worth the views! Take the 4.6mi RT hike up Buck Mountain [GPS intersection Sly Pond Road and Shelving Rock Road in Fort Ann, Keep heading down Shelving Rock Road and you will reach the Buck Mountain trailhead], just over an hour out of Albany. Trails are easy […]
Nyhavn We are all amateur photographers these days, and Nyhavn [Nyhavn 1-71 | Kobenhavn K, Copenhagen 1051, Denmark] is about as picturesque as you can get. Grab a camera and head own down to the canal to take your own personal set of pictures here. The brilliantly colored buildings along […]
If you’ve never walked around a cemetery just for the fun, exercise, or beauty of it, you should give it a go. If you’re in Copenhagen Assistens Kirkegård [Kapelvej 4, 2200 København N, Denmark] is a perfect place to start. There’s nothing creepy about being in a cemetery, it’s simply […]
If I was moving to Copenhagen, I know exactly which apartment I’d want, right on the edge of Rosenborg Castle Gardens [Gothersgade 11, 2300 København K, Denmark]. It’s the tiny yellow one in the middle, with a huge window to look out on this incredible park. Rosenborg Castle Gardens, or […]
