Exploring Andalucia: Seville Tips and Guide

  TRAVELING TO SEVILLE   I flew with the Spanish low-cost carrier Vueling Airlines from Paris CDG. Quite the cheap flight – I paid 65 euros one-way, which made the excitement and anticipation of going to Seville that much more.

8 Restaurants and Cafés to Try in Le Marais

  8 RESTAURANTS AND CAFÉS TO TRY IN LE MARAIS I’m a creature of habit – when I find something I like, I tend to stick with it. For the most part, I tend to pretty much squat around Le Marais whenever I’m in Paris. My friends usually have to force and drag me out […]

Chefchaouen: Exploring Morocco’s Blue City

Exploring Budapest in 3 Days

  EXPLORING BUDAPEST IN 3 DAYS I flew with EasyJet to Budapest from Paris. The seat did not recline, which is to be expected considering it’s a low cost airline. But the flight time from Paris to Budapest was just under two-hours, so no biggie. For those who are not familiar with EasyJet, it’s a British low-cost carrier […]
