Back in April of this year we spent a couple nights in a place called Brighton, England. Brighton sits on the southeast coast of England, about an hour train ride straight south from a very famous place called London. As is typical nowadays, I didn’t do too much research before heading to Brighton. So, besides …

Travelly Picture: West Side Market, Cleveland, Ohio
When we were in Cleveland for a minute last year (which I will be writing more about soon), we spent some time perusing the stalls of the West Side Market on recommendation from friends. It’s a gorgeous and enthralling market and as far as I am concerned, can hold its own with any indoor market anywhere …

Getting Cheesy at the Alkmaar Cheese Market

Travelly Picture: Sunbeam on Sarajevo
Sarajevo, Bosnia is easily one my favorite places in all of Europe. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind town and we were lucky enough to stay at a guesthouse up in the enchanting hills surrounding Sarajevo when we were there. We made it a point to spend our afternoons watching the sun set over Sarajevo listening to …
Travelly Picture: Turia Fountain in Valencia, Spain
Valencia had been very high on my list for years before we arrived for a couple nights a couple years ago. The word on the street was that it was “laid back and chill” compared to its famous Catalan neighbor Barcelona, and that’s definitely true. It’s funny, because when we look back at our travels, …

Travelly Picture: Amsterdam Canal Sunset
Took this picture with my digital camera the other night. We were out having dinner and drinks and as we approached a canal bridge, I noticed a couple people whipping out their cameras and clicking away at the sunset. I figured “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em”. Oh yeah, if you click on it, …

Fun Festivals in Europe I’d Really Like to Go to One Day
Crazy celebrations populate every page of the European calendar, and going to as many of these fun festivals in Europe as I can is really high on my travel to-do list. Fun festivals in Europe like The Running of the Bulls, La Tomatina, and my beloved Oktoberfest may garner the boldest headlines and biggest crowds, …

Travelly Picture: Bavarian Forest
When many of us think of Germany, what we are really thinking of is the German state of Bavaria. It’s the land of lederhosen and beer gardens and all that other good stuff. We were lucky enough to watch a wonderful house in a traditional Bavarian village full of wooden chalet-style houses with windowsill flower …
Travelly Picture: Sydney Opera House
