Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
Relax! I am not saying that you should ignore one of the most beautiful cities in the world, just because it is so full of tourists all year long. What I am trying to say is that Morocco is an amazing country and that it would be a sin to stay and tour only one…
I’ve written a couple of pieces over the past few weeks highlighting some reasons to explore the relatively little known city of Shreveport, LA. Now, here’s the catch. It’s extraordinarily difficult to get to. Of course if money is no object, you can get just about anywhere, but it’s the kind of difficult you don’t…
Sometimes it is fun to come back to childhood just for a little bit and enjoy yourself, am I right? British people know that, and therefore, they managed to build and develop these five attractions, which will help you get in touch with the little you inside. Excited? I bet so! Legoland, Windsor Not that…
If you read my last post about the movie industry in Shreveport, Louisiana, then you already know that many Hollywood big wigs have been coming to Shreveport to film since Hurricane Katrina. (If you aren’t familiar with my last post, you can get up to speed here. Go ahead, I’ll wait) While bringing in film…
The term “Hollywood of the South” has a little competition, but Louisiana certainly claims it (don’t tell Georgia). New Orleans has a long history in the pictures, but North Louisiana came about their “Hollywood” moniker in a uniquely opportunistic way. Back in 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and left film studios scrambling to find…
Much has been said about traveling to London. Whether it be the cool climate, or the various ways to save some money, almost everyone has seen and heard all the details about the United Kingdom’s busiest city and the biggest of it’s airports, Heathrow. Often, people are overwhelmed by the magnitude of Heathrow and lose…
I know, I know, It is as painful and embarrassing for me to write as it is for you to read, but it’s the truth. I was ready to be wowed. Iceland is so hot right now, figuratively speaking of course. There are cities in which I arrive and immediately think, “Ah, these are my…
When in downtown Reykjavik, I couldn’t resist a visit to the The Icelandic Phallological Museum, or the “Penis Museum” as it is known colloquially because “Phallological” is kind of a mouthful (no pun intended). Much like the smart and funny folks mentioned in this very official document, there are few things in this world…
One of the oddest things I noticed while in Reykjavik for the first time, was the amount of nods to American culture, or at least American culture as foreigners perceive it. While Iceland has been at the forefront of the tourist industry in the past few years, it is still very isolated geographically. This is…
The Blue Lagoon naysayers are not wrong. It’s crowded, it’s touristy, it’s expensive, but we all know you’re going anyway. From the moment you step off the plane in Reykjavik it’s unavoidable. You’re immediately greeted with pictures of statuesque bikini clad woman surrounded by swirling fog rising from the milky blue water. Your hands…
