what i wish i'd known as a solo female traveler in Europe.
I traveled alone for the first time as a 17-year old. I didn't have a boyfriend waiting at home for me, and I didn't have a contingency plan in case everything went wrong. I guess I would have flown back home, but thankfully, it never came to that.

Great London Parks You Need to Visit in Autumn
When it comes to urban green spaces, Londoners are spoilt for options. Of course, there are the royal parks that do need to be enjoyed, from Kensington Gardens to Primrose Hill. Then there is Hampstead Heath, whose idyllic Ladies' Swimming Pond has inspired full-blown essays collections; Kew Gardens, beloved by Virginia Woolf's; Hampton Court Palace, designed by Henry VIII... The list goes on. However, many places are stunning in autumn, when summer blooms give way to autumn fruits, and the trees start to change. As the temperature falls, let's round-up some great lesser-known places to go get a nature recharge in London.

An Affair with the City
You had just turned thirteen the first time you laid eyes on New York city and it was an immediate infatuation. You had never seen such beauty as that of its be-speckled dusk skyline from the view of your airplane window as it descended into the concrete jungle. There was a twisting in your stomach as your smile reached from ear to ear just thinking about the adventures ahead. Somehow the long and tiring journey spent from Manila to Los Angeles and finally to New York was all worth it and meant close to nothing if you could only spend a minute in this city. Yes, you were quite infatuated. However, truly falling in love with New York happens slowly at first, and then all at once.

Top 10 Fly Fishing Mistakes/Tips
We’ve all done it. You spend days and weeks (sometimes longer) waiting for a fishing trip or a weekend on the river with grand ideas of trout as fat as footballs. And then we hit the water…only to realize that we forgot a crucial piece of gear, left our lunch sitting on the kitchen counter, or god forbid, found someone else sitting in our fishing hole. Sometimes the only way to avoid these problems is to make sure they don’t happen in the first place. This is obviously easier said than done but, a small amount of preparation and pragmatic thought can set you up for success.

Home
I have roamed the market places, in the crowded streets of Tangier, immersed in the scent of spices being carried through the hot and dusty air. I have dipped my feet in the same Spanish waters where the Armada sailed from and met the spectre of myself on the other side of the Atlantic. I have danced in the snow of Germany and sipped wine in France. I have seen the Yankees play at Yankee Stadium and touched the stone edifice of President Lincoln. I found peace in Malta, swimming through the crystal clear waters of the Blue Lagoon and walking in the ghostly footsteps of the seekers of the Grail. I've seen the halls where Anne Boleyn fell in love with King Henry and I had my first history lesson on the battlements of Gibraltar.
