Free Manchester
A while ago, I bumped into two Dutch tourists at Piccadilly train station. They were just leaving, having spent two days in the city and they weren’t happy. “There’s nothing to see!” they complained, at which point I reeled off a list of places they could have visited but unfortunately, by the time I was talking to them, it was all too late. This guide is to help you to know where to go when visiting the city, so that your time in Manchester is filled with so many places to visit, you will have to come back for another go.

Finding Fun Again
“Broccoli volcano.” The definitive voice of the two-year-old on my back made me pause before my next glute-enhancing step. We were hiking up the Gra de Fajol on the Spanish side of The Pyrenees Mountains, and I was focused on putting one foot in front of the other with 17kg of squirmy child on my back and a full bladder. Despite my evident discomfort, I couldn’t help but smile bemusedly as I tried to decipher what on earth my daughter was talking about.

3 Secrets I’ve Learned About “La Dolce Vita” as an American in Italy
If money could buy happiness, Americans should be some of the happiest people on earth. We're not. In fact, in 2020, only 14% of Americans self-reported being "very happy." We can blame the C-word, but America knows we had problems before a global crisis brought them bubbling to the surface.

Strange and Creepy Museums
People go to museums for the culture. They like to look at lovely works of art, exquisite statues, and other objects to be admired. There are museums where you can look at historical objects and learn about different periods in life. Then the question is why anyone would want to go to a museum to see things that are frightening. These are things that nightmares are made of yet if people did not go to these museums they would not exist. There is some kind of fascination and it might come from scary tales and horror movies.
