Posted: 10/29/2023 | October 29th, 2023 While I didn’t take my first international trip until after I graduated college (I went to Costa Rica when I was 23), being a college student doesn’t mean you have to skip out on travel.

Last Updated: 10/30/2023 | October 30th, 2023 The pandemic has made working from home a permanent fixture of our lives. What once just techies and bloggers did, now accountants and all kinds of office workers do. Not only is it cheaper for businesses but it means more flexibility, time with family, and less commuting. I…
Last Updated: 10/30/23 | October 30th, 2023 What do you take on your trip? What do you need? As long-time readers know, I’m a fan of packing light. I don’t think you really need much when you travel. As a backpacker, I want to make sure everything I own fits into one bag. I often…
Last Updated: 10/30/23 | October 30th, 2023 Travelers can be a fickle group of people to buy gifts for. We’re constantly coming and going, we usually don’t carry a lot of stuff with us, and no two travelers are alike. Finding the perfect gift for the traveler in your life can be tricky. While a…
Posted: 11/13/23 | November 13th, 2023 I love walking tours. The first thing I do when I arrive somewhere is take a walking tour. It’s a great way to get the feel of a new place, see the main sights, and adjust to the local culture. You also get to meet a local expert guide…

Posted: 8/21/2023 | August 21st, 2023 I love Dublin. As a writer, how could I not? This is a city once home to iconic Nobel laureates like George Bernard Shaw, William Butler Yeats, and Samuel Beckett. It’s the perfect place for cozy cafes and writing. Dublin is home to the rambunctious Temple Bar, Trinity College…

Posted: 8/31/23 | August 31st, 2023 Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more people were transitioning to remote work.

Posted: 9/15/23 | September 15, 2023 The Bilt Mastercard® is one of my favorite travel credit cards. While I have a handful of others in my wallet, Bilt is my go-to for most of my day-to-day spending. Plus, it’s still the only credit card that allows you to earn points on rent (up to 100,000…
