Most Underrated Italian City
Palermo, Sicily When thinking of Italy minds too often drift to Rome, Florence, Milan, or Venice. But what many people don't often consider are the islands of Italy and their respective cities. I admit, I used to be one of those people, but after seeing Sicily (if you imagine Italy as a boot, Sicily is the island that it's kicking) and specifically Palermo, its most populous city, my heart will forever yearn to return to its affordable food, crystal clear water, and one-of-a-kind nightlife.

Universal Studios Orlando
Like my Disney World list, rides that I haven't ridden - such as the new Fast and Furious ride - will not be included in the list as it would be unfair to pass judgment on these rides. Also, rides that are closed or in the process of closing - like Shrek 4D - will also be left off the list. The list covers both of the Orlando parks, Universal Studios and Universal Studios: Islands of Adventure.

Travelling Thailand: The Poor Man's Guide
Where to Begin Travelling has always been something that I knew I needed to do. I think that the travel bug is something that you're born with; the desire to see the world for yourself. The problem with traveling, at least for most young people, is money. Traveling expenses can add up quickly especially if air travel and hotel stays are required. However, this should not deter a young traveler from seeking out adventure. This post is regarding my recent month-long stay in Thailand, and how we managed to make the most of our trip on a very limited budget. I will make a separate post regarding the culture of Thailand and the overall experience, for now this post refers just to money saving tactics and the best ways to get a big bang for your buck in the country of smiles.

Campfire Culture
Fire has been man’s lifeline since the beginning of time. Food, warmth, and light are what fire gives to man. In many cultures, fire is the symbol for life, and anywhere you go today, fire is still used in a powerful way. The campfire to many that live for an outdoor, dirt bag lifestyle, a campfire is a sign of community. Never are you alone when around a campfire, no one has the feeling of depression in a campsite around a campfire. There is something that draws us to a fire, like mosquitos to a light.

Virtual Tour of Cabbage Town - Atlanta
Krog Street Tunnel - Cabbage Town I am a geek for walkable neighborhoods. Anything that allows me to feel like I’m part of a community—local eateries, galleries, gathering spaces—draw me in like a moth to a flame. Atlanta in my opinion is not the most walkable city, but it has its enclaves; it’s little nooks and neighborhoods within the city.
