Everyone knows a Disney World Vacation is going to set you back financially, but it’s the most magical place on earth. Who can put a price tag on that? Well Disney can, and it’s a lot. Here are a few magical things you can do at Disney World for free (or almost free). It’s great…

Art in Oslo
I appreciate any society that values the arts and art in Oslo is alive and well. I’ve mentioned a little about growing up in Franklin, TN on here before. I grew up in a very artistic household in what I would consider a relatively oppressive society by western standards, though everyone there would strongly disagree…
Orlando’s Margaritafest 5
Okay, so I know it’s not technically travel since I live here (and hopefully no one is traveling to Orlando for Margaritafest), but this is the post I wish someone had written about Margaritafest 4 (or 3,2,1) before I spent $35+ tax on my “VIP” experience.

Destination Memory Lane Blogging Challenge!
I was recently notified by the lovely Marti Ingram at Down The Wrabbit Hole that I was nominated for their Destination Memory Lane Blogging Challenge. The concept is pretty cool.

Return of the Travel Contests!
Back by popular demand, you’re one stop source for travel contest info on the internet. Okay, so “popular demand” might be a little generous, but if you’ve been following my blog from the beginning (thanks!) you’ll remember that I used to do a monthly travel contest section. Honestly, it was a lot of work…
It’s Difficult to Pick the Oddest Spot in Oslo, but The Munch Museum is in the Running.
If you haven’t yet learned from my other posts, or worse yet if you haven’t read my other post (which you probably should), Oslo is weird. Nothing quite makes sense, and the Munch Museum is no exception. I mean, where else in the world could a museums most famous painting be stolen… twice?! To be…
