NOTE: These are Charley’s thoughts on the massacre in Orlando. For Craig’s, visit here. The Tangier of the 1940s and ’50s was one that attracted queer life from around the globe, existing largely because of the 1923 Tangier protocol and lasting until Tangier was absorbed into Morocco in 1956. During that time, the city […]
We spent 11 days in Spain – mostly in San Sebastián and Málaga. Much of the time was spent wandering these beautiful cities aimlessly, getting lost in the side-streets of their large pedestrian areas.
It’s been another nine days since our last recap, and I thought it might be worth talking about what we’ve been doing since leaving Biarritz, France, the location of our last recap. Today, we write to you from Málaga, Spain, where we’ve spent the last five days. After a real whirlwind for the first three […]
Hi friends! We know we have a lot of friends and family reading this, and all those readers have really different levels of travel experience. I thought it would be nice to pass along some of the tips and product recommendations we have for international travel, and that means right now I’m going to talk […]

We’re here only for a couple days before taking a bus to nearby San Sebastian, Spain, but it seemed like a good time for a quick recap […]
Greetings to everyone from Birmingham, England! Charley and I have been on the road for just over two weeks now, and it’s worth checking in to talk about how things are going. We found a great shortstay apartment here in Birmingham by the name of City Nites, and having a whole apartment to ourselves (which […]
There are hundreds and hundreds of castles in Ireland – many more than a thousand years old. On top of that, there are at least as many churches, barns, and towers. As Craig and I picked up the rental car, we drove directly to Newgrange and Knowth. En route, we saw a sign on the […]
When the host of the adorable Bed & Breakfast on the Aran Islands asked me if I wanted her to charge my credit card in Euros or U.S. Dollars, I responded, “Oh, Euros please.” This sounds counter-intuitive if you’re not an experienced international traveler, but I promise it makes sense. There are plenty of costs […]
