I’m sitting in the front seat of a large van with Lukaz, who’s driving me to Prague – we’re discussing veganism and dal, and how dal is an amazing dish for vegans, even in Prague, which is where Lukaz is from. In the back, a few other people who ‘ve just met for the first …
It seems as though the Internet has been split into two camps regarding the virtues of traveling and the practical costs and benefits of being a traveller. On the one hand, there are posts, listicles and dreamy pictures of far-off vistas that exhort you to drop everything right this minute and embark on a voyage …
Whether you’re looking for your next destination or just trying to find things to do on a weekend while at home, these sites will help you immensely! Atlas Obscura: I’ve shamefully stolen their About Us blurb because it describes the weird and quirky content so well: In an age where everything seems to have been …
I’ve always been skeptical about everything. There’s always been an innate distrust of coincidence, in my life. Perhaps it comes from a constantly questing nature, the need to probe and push and try and figure out why something happened the way it did, rather than accept that it was ‘fate’ or luck.

Budget travelers, like CEOs, have painful lives that they live in order to experience the rewards. That’s the hard truth – for all those beautiful cityscapes and sunsets, the IPOs and the successful buyouts, there’s a price to pay. Constant worry about your belongings and assets. Lots and lots of budget woes. Tons of tense …
By the time you read this, I will be in the UK, probably in a cafe somewhere, sitting and watching the world go by. If I’m lucky, I’ll have more good than bad experiences over my travel the next year. Whatever happens, though, one thing is for sure: I will have learned and lived more …
Facebook is an amazing social tool, but the tragic flaw with it is that society is composed mainly of tools. This is why a number of extremely irritating trends have cropped up – trends which make you want to shut down your computer, go outside and take a deep breath. Now these trends have been documented …
