Is it too early to start thinking of 2019? No, I don’t believe it is my friends. December is upon us, meaning the new year is closer than we {read: I} can process. I’m so excited to draft my annual New Years Eve blog post, but the real anticipation comes with my travel plans for 2019. I thought I would include some ‘off the beaten’ path recommendations for any fellow travelers getting tired of seeing the same shit everywhere. Continue Reading

So far on the blog, I’ve explained what to know before visiting Venice and given my two cents as far as riding a gondala during said visit. However, personally I find my inspiration to visit a destination through images.
