Daily Wanderlust: Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina

I spent about two weeks in Bosnia and Hercegovina and loved every moment. When I wasn’t hanging out in Sarajevo, or exploring the remnants of war and a sniper’s point of view from an old bank, I was touring the gorgeous outlying region of Mostar, including a gorgeous visit to waterfalls. After my para-falling incident,Continue reading “Daily Wanderlust: Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina”

Travel tip: be a person, not a wallet

Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Josh Keefe. Always befriend locals when traveling. This is obvious advice, but it usually involves a little more than just smiling and saying “please” and “thank you” in the native language. It requires being a bit proactive and chatting up strangers. This is not just a goodContinue reading “Travel tip: be a person, not a wallet”

Daily Wanderlust: Kotor, Montenegro

I always knew as soon as I got to the Adriatic Sea in my travels, I would feel invigorated again. It’s not easy to travel solo for months on end, and after my time in Turkey, I had hit a wall. Hello, Travel Fatigue. Fortunately, after one very long travel day, as soon as IContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: Kotor, Montenegro”

Escape of the Week: Edinburgh’s Royal Mile

Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Shanna Schultz. I could spend hours wandering the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Daily Wanderlust: Kusadasi, Turkey

Of all of the towns I have visited in my travels, there are very few I can say I did not enjoy. Sadly, Kusadasi, Turkey, is one of those towns. What did I not like? The town itself is fine.

Daily Wanderlust: Sarajevo by night

I spent about a week in Sarajevo, the City of Roses. During my time in the city, I fell in love with it.

Daily Wanderlust: Benidorm, Spain

Benidorm, Spain is one of those places that seems to have simply sprung up between the crop-covered hills and coast of the Mediterranean. With high-rise hotels jutting up from the flat shoreline, this town is about as non-Spanish as you can get while still being in Spain. Sure, it still has the beautiful squares andContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: Benidorm, Spain”

Daily Wanderlust: Love in the desert

I’ve been talking a lot lately about the beauty of America’s desert southwest. Maybe it’s because I am trying to soak up as much as I can before I embark on the next journey. Regardless, I’ve been going through photos of late and find myself staring at the untouched beauty in Utah, the reds andContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: Love in the desert”
