How to Take a Day Trip to Armenia From Georgia

There's arguably no cooler way to explore a new country than through a day trip. I was able to see Uruguay from Argentina by taking a ferry for the day, I walked to Paraguay from Brazil, and I've even gotten to see places like Turkïye on a long layover. So, when I found myself in…

One-Day Itinerary For Ferrara, Italy

Not all small towns in Italy are created equally, and no one makes that case as true as the charming Emilia Romagna town of Ferrara. Making for an easy day trip from either nearby Bologna, Venice, or even Milan, Ferrara is a UNESCO World Heritage protected city with Byzantine-influence, and offers a unique side of…

A Step-by-Step Guide To Getting Italian Citizenship Through Lineage

If you have a direct family member who was born in Italy, there's a good chance you're aware that you just might be eligible for Italian citizenship. But... beginning the process of learning, to finding documents that are over 100 years old, to fully understanding Italian law can be daunting. After five years of trying…

Know Before You Go: The Orbeliani Baths in Tbilisi, Georgia

If you’re headed to Tbilisi, Georgia, you’re in for a real treat. The city is filled with culturally exciting activities, from exploring massive cathedrals to eating hearty khinkali and khachapuri. But even in a city as bustling as Tbilisi, perhaps the best thing to do there is enjoy a traditional Georgian bathhouse. I hardly knew…

One-Day Itinerary For Lucca, Italy

Don't get me wrong; I love Florence, Italy. But over the years, the excessive crowds have managed to take away from Florence's natural charm. Not to mention, in a post-pandemic world, the prices in Florence have at least tripled since I first visited back in 2017. That's not to say that Florence should be skipped…

One-Day Itinerary For Tbilisi, Georgia

"I'm from Georgia," my coworker said to me when I was a bartender back in 2016. And no, not the peachy Georgia, the country Georgia. Georgia stayed on my mind since that conversation, and it would come to the forefront when I started writing about restaurants in New York City and reviewed Ubani Cafe, a…

How To Walk Across The Entire Country of Liechtenstein

Could you imagine walking across an entire country from border to border? While I've seen ambitious feats of people doing things like this in the past (take Torbjorn Pedersen who recently traveled to every country in the world without taking a single flight), I never envisioned myself as someone doing anything remotely similar. Call me…

Eating My Way Through Lyon: Anthony Bourdain-Style

I have often been led through far corners of the world by the late and great Anthony Bourdain. It’s how I found the crispiest lechon in the Philippines, how I ended up with a stranger turned friend drinking clear whiskey in northern Thailand, how I celebrated my birthday in NYC over mutton at Keen’s Steakhouse.…

Essential Eats in Marseille, France

Marseille is a victim of bad reputation. It's frequently painted as unsafe, and unfortunately, many travelers fall for it. Turns out, the joke is on those who don't choose to visit, because Marseille is fascinating due to its geographical proximity as a port city. The food here knows no bounds much thanks to the large…

Monaco Travel Horror Stories

Travel Horror Story: A Woman Tried to Pickpocket Me in Monaco

I think a woman tried to pickpocket me in Monaco. I visited Monaco on a day trip from Bordighera, Italy, and unfortunately, because there's no luggage storage in the country, I was left to walk around with all of my belongings. My belongings in this instance included one roller suitcase, two backpacks, and a fanny…
