    I am lucky enough to have my home based quite close to many craft breweries. As I get more info the craft beer scene it is nice to take a tour of some of these breweries. What’s great about Two Roads for people from from say NYC is that they can hop a train right from…

    NOTE: Part I is not a travel blog post but a set up for part 2’s blog post which will be a travel one. It gives you a bit of backstory and history to me and why I traveled to UFC 199. I have been a fan of the sport of mixed martial arts for…

    I took a day trip to Amsterdam with dreams of seeing the Van Gogh museum, the Resistance Museum, and The Anne Frank House so with much to do I figured the 24 hour Amsterdam city card would be helpful. I was dreadfully wrong. You can buy tickets for The Van Gogh museum online but then…

    What’s the big deal with eventide? I tried the clam chowder it was more like clam soup and kind of tasted like I was drinking ocean water. The lobster stew was pretty good, had a nice broth to it, but not something I’d rush back there for. And the lobster roll? Well it was good.…

    In Honor of Halloween With Halloween coming up at the end of the week, I thought we could talk a bit about Salem. Salem, MA is a New England fall favorite destination.  It is close by the water so it can be really chilly, but what better place to be around Halloween then the location…

    Paella is regarded as the national dish of Spain and is THE dish to get while in Valencia. I have not had the chance to go to Valencia yet, but I have spent quite a bit of time in Barcelona. On my last trip, I had 5 nights in Barcelona and had paella every single…

    194 Park Ave Portland, Maine Checked out the original location on Park Ave. A couch with a table of chairs around a coffee table, 2 2 tops, and about 5 stools make up the seating space for this hugely popular establishment. (All of which are by the door brrrrrrr in the winter– dress accordingly.)  I…

    A couple weeks ago I wrote about my first time ever Horseback riding which was in Napoli in September of 2015. We rode up Mt. Vesuvius. So obviously being in another land with volcanoes I knew I had to keep up the trend and ride a horse in Iceland too. During my final weekend in…

    In May of 2013 I went down to the Amalfi Coast for the very first time. As someone who likes to have a bit of a plan going into anything I did a search on the Goggle for things to do. One of the things that popped up was to do a hike called The…

    I fell in love in Iceland.  Not in the way I fell in love in Italy.  In Italy, from the moment I arrived I felt like I had come home.  And with home, you love it, but there are things you also hate about it.  It’s crazy and chaotic, but you really wouldn’t have it…
