Europe is filled with discount carriers that can take you just about anywhere you want to go, for cheap, even with US dollars and despite even higher fuel costs on this side of the pond. Discount carriers include Ryanair, Easyjet, SkyEurope, Transavia and Sterling to name a few.
Sterling is a Scandinavian based airline and from […]
If you’re visiting Stockholm, staying on a boat is the way to go. When I was there in 2001 I stayed in 2 different boat hostels, the Red Boat Malaren and the af Chapman. Both of which are still in operation.
The af Chapman is an HI Hostel (which sometimes includes very annoying rules like curfews, […]
Today my wife and I are off on a week’s vacation to Sweden and Denmark! This won’t be my first time to Sweden as I previously visited the country back in 2001 and truly enjoyed it.
Stockholm is one of the cleanest and prettiest cities in Europe and they have some of the fanciest 7-11’s you’ll […]

Obviously things are […]

If you’re looking for the best country in the world to live, head to Iceland. The UN just came out with its annual best places to shack up list and Iceland finally passed Norway, which had topped the list the previous 6 years. Apparently the salmon tastes better in Iceland these days. But really, when you look at all […]
