Escape of the Week: Underground Berlin

When I was in Berlin, I enjoyed two free tours. One that took me to the historical sites (which, to my surprise, was not a snooze fest), and one that took me to the underground art scene. In the cold and rain, our guide escorted us through squatter residences, enlightened us on the history ofContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Underground Berlin”

Hello, California. You are a lovely neighbor.

I have lived in Las Vegas for basically five years. Sure, I had that year in Atlanta I like to refer to as the Catalyst for the Rest of my Life. And my career-break/adventure through Europe and Africa. But, basically, the place I have called home since 2005 is Las Vegas. You’d think living inContinue reading “Hello, California.

Escape of the Week: A Turkish Camel

Turkey has some serious bus stops. Like, serious. These huge facilities greet thousands of visitors a day and come complete with restaurants, shops, pay-to-pee squat toilets, and more. They even wash the buses quickly when passengers disembark to stretch their legs. On the first day of my Fez Bus Tour through Turkey, we stopped betweenContinue reading “Escape of the Week: A Turkish Camel”

Guest Post: Being a hero in Brazil

This is a guest post by Jason Bastanky. Have a story you’d like to share? E-mail me, dtravelsround [at] gmail [dot]com. If traveling has taught me anything, it’s that heroes are made, not born.

Escape of the Week: Krakow Sunset

Krakow is an easy city to fall in love with, and one of the most underrated. The old portion isn’t too large, so it’s easy to navigate. There’s tons of kebap shops. Clubs and bars make the nightlife one of the best in the region. And, well, it is just plain gorgeous. I spent aContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Krakow Sunset”

A different kind of addiction

So, it’s been nine months since I returned to America. And, I have a confession: I am starting to freak out knowing that I’ve been living a stationary existence for nearly one year. It scares the hell out of me. More and more I have been feeling waves of panic wash over me as myContinue reading “A different kind of addiction”

The Adventures of D — A Retrospect

Oh, my little blog. It’s been around since before I decided to take my career break and travel. It’s been around since I one sleepless October night in Atlanta when, around midnight, the words to the start of my story I wanted to share just popped into my head. Then, I was up. Out ofContinue reading “The Adventures of D — A Retrospect”

It was a year ago, nearly to the day, I was on #blogtripf1 in the Land of Valencia. The five-day trip was an amazing experience, allowing me to experience yet another beautiful province in Spain, and meet some of the most amazing travel bloggers ever. Our second night together, we headed to the super BritishContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Benidorm by night”

The Las Vegas Foodgasm: Wicked Spoon

Katie and I wandered through the halls of Cosmopolitan’s second floor, en route to Wicked Spoon, passing by tourists posing inside of larger-than-life shoes and walls adorned with art. We were on a mission: stuff our faces with good eats at the hotel’s much-praised buffet, Wicked Spoon. I’ve already confessed, I’m no foodie, but afterContinue reading “The Las Vegas Foodgasm: Wicked Spoon”
