With some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean and an average of 340 sunny days per year in which to enjoy them, it’s not hard see why the tiny island of Cyprus attracts 2.4 million visitors each year. However, there is another side to the island and if you have landed on this […]

Heading to London After the Olympics is Still a Good Idea
by stayadventurous on September 19, 2012 in Destination, Featured, Guest Post
Olympic fever may have come and gone this year, but London’s appeal as a must-see tourist destination will never fade. The capital city offers access to some of the world’s best historical sights, and plenty of new attractions that are sure to hold any traveler’s attention. Here are my recommendations for what you should see […]
Sunset Sunday – L’Ametlla de Mar, Catalonia Spain
by Craig Zabransky on July 8, 2012 in Sunset Sunday
During the last days of my European backpack adventure I traveled across Spain. And many of those days and nights I spent in the sleepy shore town of L’Ametlla de Mar. Largely off the international tourist map, L’Ametlla de Mar is roughly two hours south of Barcelona on the train and is essentially the “go-to” […]

by Craig Zabransky on December 18, 2011 in Sunset Sunday

Andalusia. It’s labeled essential Spain with good reason. The history, culture, and cuisine – all make for a fantastic trip. With the roots of Columbus in Seville, the tales of the Alhambra in Granada, and the historic bull fighting ring in Ronda, one can easily spend a week inside Andalusia. And if you enjoy eating, […]
The Czech Republic and the Christmas Stone
by Craig Zabransky on December 24, 2010 in Destination, Reflection
The sun rose over the horizon as the bus started to navigate the city streets. I entered Prague fatigued by the overnight ride from Brussels but yet full of energy and excited to learn more about my heritage. The splendid city famed for adoring architecture, romantic boulevards, and pilsner beer also contained the roots of the […]
Sunset Sunday – Amsterdam
by Craig Zabransky on April 4, 2010 in Sunset Sunday
On a cold, cloud filled April afternoon in Amsterdam, the rain showers (even hail) soaked the streets and pestered the pedestrians. Although bikes still out numbered the compact cars most tourists and locals hop on foot from cafe to coffee shop in search of warmth, conversation and the favorable local fare. But with the day […]
