Right off the bat let me make it clear – the purpose of this trip was to attend the Web Summit tech conference, not for sightseeing. So I saw a lot more of the inside of their convention center than anything else. However, the little glimpses I did get to see were so lovely that… Continue reading 3 Days In: Lisbon, Portugal
La Colle-sur-Loup I was scheduled to take a cooking class in Colle-sur-Loup, so I hopped on the 400 bus to Vence from Nice early in the morning, jumped off and walked through the town. Getting off the bus I was immediately hit by stunning views. Walking through the town I was enthralled by the small… Continue reading My Day In: La Colle-sur-Loup / St Paul de Vence

The only hard part was choosing where to go. Since I had… Continue reading Total Solar Eclipse in Columbia, SC, USA

I did a start when he mentioned Delray Beach because that was where my… Continue reading Morikami Gardens in Delray Beach, Florida, USA
I just spent 48 hours in Boston, Massachusetts one of the greatest cities in the USA. As a major metropolis, it has all the cultural trappings of any major city – museums, music (Boston Pops!), fine dining, etc. Plus it’s also one of the oldest settlements in America so is incredibly rich in US history… Continue reading 48 Hours in Boston, Massachusetts, USA
I took a brief trip to Southern France for – wait for it – a job interview. Yep, that’s right. This full-time traveller/wanderer is actually considering the possibility of of setting down roots again. Crazy I know! Right outside of Nice is European’s tech industrial & research mecca Sophia Antipolis. I work in tech so spent… Continue reading 48 Hours in Nice, France
After spending a glorious 48 Hours in Nice, France I decided it would be silly not to pop on down to Cannes to see what this little local film festival was all about. So after a quick & refreshing swim in the French Riviera, I headed to the train station and hopped aboard the next… Continue reading A Real Life Adventure at the Cannes Film Festival
