A friend of mine recently got back from Europe. He sent out a tantalizing email summing up his trip and included links to photos with mini descriptions for each album. As I was reading the descriptions, I realized that I really would rather hear the stories about each photo in person...

Life has launched me into full throttle more than ever this fall (and also is the disclaimer that goes with my disperse blog posts!). On August 30, I was behind the wheel of a massive UHaul truck with all of my worldly belongings packed behind me as I made the leap from Boston to New York City...

I’m already plotting how I can get down to South Africa for the World Cup next summer…and I know I’m not alone. Just this past weekend there were talks among my friends who’ve already got tickets! So I began drooling and then visiting my friend Google to learn more. Appare...

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is that plants a seed in someone to want to travel. Maybe there’s an adventurous gene out there. More often than not places are sought out based on friends’ recommendations, books, movies, tv shows, posters and those alluring pictures on Flickr. I kn...

Many people usually give me a didn’t-see-that-coming look when I tell them I grew up in Tennessee. I don’t have an accent and don’t like sweet tea, but I am indeed from the South and am very proud of it. I re...

One of the many wonderful things about travel are the realizations that occur when one is outside of the comforts of your own surroundings. Now that my last extended trip was around 11 months ago, I remind myself of some of my own little epiphanies that I can apply back on my home turf...

I’ve found a slight new obsession to waste time with online. It’s called Photosynth.It’s a new project hailing from Microsoft Live Labs but I don’t think many people have heard of it yet. If you have, it may be because of the CNN Obama inauguration day. That d...

For the Memorial Day weekend I headed down to Portsmouth, Rhode Island which neighbors the popular tourist destination of Newport. Because I was staying with a friend, I got the local tour of the island of Aquidneck which is home to both towns...

Since I moved to Boston in the fall of 2006, my Uncle Tim who lives in New York had wanted to take me to Kelly’s, a beachside establishment since 1951. Tim raved about the lobster rolls that a Harvard student once introduced to him. ...
