I have been in Dublin, Ireland for over two months now and I have to say that I feel a lot different about this place now than I did after I first arrived here. When you start to actually live in a city instead of just going through it as a tourist, you see things […]

Most people will be traveling early or mid-day on the 6th day. As such, you probably won’t be doing much on this day. However, if you have some time, there are always many nice things to do. In the past 5 days, you will have seen the major attractions in Paris, but you will have […]
This will most likely be the last of the big ‘tourism’ days for you in Paris. This will be the last full day that you have to experience everything that Paris has to offer. As such, let’s start with the Notre Dame Cathedral; after that, we will move on to the Musee d’Orsay, a museum […]
Hopefully, you are rested up from yesterday! Today will be an all-day affair that will saturate you with opulence and, most likely, too many other tourists ;). Today, you will go to the Palace of Versailles. Now, to avoid the tourists, you will have to get up early. It will be worth it to see the magnificent […]
Day three in Paris will be a relatively relaxing day where you can really move at your own pace. You will be seeing some sites near Montmartre and then off for a nice roof-top lunch, some shopping, and a nice evening around the Opera (or at the Opera if you buy some tickets 🙂 ). […]
This is going to be a big day! So, make sure to get a big breakfast. A croissant and coffee will NOT do. If you want to ‘experience culture’ then, sure, have that, but make sure to fill up on some real food (eggs, bacon, potatoes, beans if you’re from the U.K. and Ireland, etc.). […]
This is the first part of a 6 part series where I tell you what you should do with 6 days in Paris. Each post will have a “What you should do:” section and a “What I am doing:” section. I have been to Paris many times and I think it will be interesting to […]
I don’t know how to start this except to say that the past week has been pretty shitty. These are the days when you wish you had a group of good friends around to support you and help you feel better. When you are traveling alone, you generally have no one in which to confide, […]
I am still alive, but just barely, or so it feels. As you can tell by the posts, the last time I was able to make a post was after the Torchlight Procession for Hogmanay in Edinburgh, Scotland. There is a reason for this 😉 …
