La Botticella – Roma, Italy
As much as I love the art sand travel I equally love sports (Yankees, Steelers, & Penn State Nittany Lions). So when I realized I was going to be in Italy during the first game of the Penn State Season and the start of the NFL season it was time to plan (Sept 2015). In…

Hamlet’s Castle
Hamlet. As in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Yeah that guy. He has a castle in his home of Denmark. Sort of. Now we know Hamlet wasn’t real but there’s a lot of mystery surrounding Shakespeare. Things weren’t well documented and preserved then. A little ironic with him you know being a writer and all. Some of the…

You Can´t Go Back
Back in February of 2016 I went back to Iceland after having left in December of 2015. Here are some thoughts from that trip…. I am 8 days into my current trip. The first 5.5 were spent in Oslo, Norway. I have been back in Reykjavík since. I’ve already realized you can’t go back again.…

4th of July 2016: New England Beach Road Trip
This 4th of July I decided it was time to get away and take a solo trip alone to some parts not to far away from me. I spend a lot of time making Connecticut my home base and so with 3 days off I hit the road on a mini road trip. I drove…

My first Slow Travel/Work Exchange Part II
In my previous post I discussed how I got my first slow travel/work exchange gig back in 2016. I know every place I’m sure does things differently, so I can only go based off of my experience. I arrived and checked in with reception and went to bed. The whole time leading up to the…

My first Slow Travel/Work Exchange Part I
I knew that I loved Iceland. I knew that I wanted a chance to explore it more. I knew I couldn’t afford to take all the time off from work and pay to go away for a month. I had heard of slow travel and work exchanges in the past and decided to see if…
