My week long trip to Malta was easily the most relaxing trip I’ve ever gone on. There was no work to be done, no rush to see everything in time. Just relaxing fun. Our hotel was just outside the city gates for Valletta, the capital of Malta. A fantastic location for visiting Valletta every day […]

Is Cologne Wheelchair Friendly?
This is my first attempt at an article that looks at how wheelchair friendly or not a city is. I’m looking almost exclusively at the tourist areas of Cologne for this and will be going into detail about any areas that really stand out to me in either a positive or negative way. If there’s […]
My First International Flight
It’s always fun to look back at early travels and laugh at the silly things that took place along the way. My first international flight was uneventful, but I was crossing North America and the Atlantic Ocean solo as an 18-year-old who had barely ever left California. I made an Australian couple laugh in London, […]
