There is a wide assumption that traveling is expensive. I'm not going to lie, it can be; however, it doesn't have to be.

Which means, I'm not exactly rolling in dough or making it rain Euros.   Far from it, my friends. So, I have to come up with ways that allows me to still live this life of travel that I love.

Food, Fun, & Facts: Ultimate Spanish Cuisine Tour with Devour Madrid

Food, Fun, & Facts: Ultimate Spanish Cuisine Tour with Devour Madrid

A Guide to Ljubljana

Two years ago I'd never even heard of Ljubljana (pronounced Lyoo-blee-ahna). It was nowhere on my radar of places to go, but this past holiday season I decided to go off the beaten path of "typical" Europe, and explore some of the lesser frequented countries.

Exploring Sarajevo: The Ultimate Guide of Things to Do, See & Eat

Sarajevo, the "Jerusalem of Europe", where East meets West, and where the coffee is strong enough to put hair on your chest. This underrated city has easily become one of my top favorites, and if I had to give Sarajevo a title it would be, the country the has left the deepest impression on my heart.
