Warning: pornographic photos ahead. (I’m only sort of kidding. Because, if you find mouth-watering, eye-popping food from incredible cities like Madrid to be sexy, then these photos could certainly be considered pornographic. We’ll go with calling them “food porn.”) When traveling to any city for the first time, exploring the unique cuisine is not just…

“If I don’t get some fucking sleep, I think I’m going to kill someone.” A deluge of heartwarming sentiments regarding murder, lack of rest, and general airplane-induced discomfort (you know that feeling when your ears don’t pop for several hours following a flight? Yeah, that one) feasibly gave our taxi driver second thoughts about picking…

I am a folk and indie music enthusiast. If you do not have an ounce of appreciation for songs that contain thought-provoking lyrics, soul-stroking acoustic arrangements, or chillingly smooth voices that may or may not remind you of butter, you might as well stop reading right now.

It is not a measure of practice or skill; rather, it is a measure of life well lived. The…

“People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the kind of people they ignore at home.” -Dagobert D. Runes. I have a bitter tendency to demonize the familiar by claiming that there is nothing here for me. Once I’m out in the world, life will truly begin. There’s no beauty here, because it’s too close…

“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.” -Cesare Pavese. Traveling — really traveling — is daunting. It should scare you just enough to leave your fingers trembling against your plane ticket, just enough to leave you entirely unaware of what lies ahead, just enough…

“She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. ‘Time’ for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.” -Roman Payne In a word: go. Go to Howth. Smell the…
