With the US dollar struggling mightily, even against currencies like the Russian ruble, it’s a whole lot less of a bargain traveling with the green backs these days. But not all bad deals are created equal, so I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the 10 most expensive cities to visit […]
Fast food doesn’t get any faster than food from vending machines and it doesn’t get any slower than Greta’s digestive tract.

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 […]
Seeing as how I’m living in Amsterdam now and my wife and I came over with US money, I figured I would share the latest US/Euro conversion rate. Right now, 1 US dollar only gets you 65 Euro cents. And if you’re a Euro, you’re now worth $1.53 US! Ouch, I wish I didn’t just […]
My wife and I have been in Amsterdam for less than 3 days and while I’ve been to Amsterdam before, trying to live here is a whole different ball game (obviously). Luckily this is Holland and not France (if it were I would probably want to choke someone right now). The Dutch are incredibly laid […]
Some of my regular readers know this, others don’t. My wife and I are in the midst of relocating from sunny flat Florida to gloomy flat Amsterdam. The date we fly off to our new home is March 1st and it’s been much anticipated since we’ve known about this for a few months.
Obviously things are […]
I just wanted to let you guys know about a guest post I wrote on the website Let’s Visit Asia. About 3 years ago my wife and I spent 12 days traveling around Vietnam. As an American, it was a unique experience to check out the country where we fought our last major war before Iraq. I won’t […]
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 […]
