I absolutely love Barcelona. I’ve had the fortune of visiting about 5 times, and it’s become a home away from home when in Europe.

Phones were a buzz when aunts and uncles exchanged calls all wondering who this Francis was and what did he want with my family? Turns out, the geneology bug doesn't just bite Americans looking ...

Although this blog isn’t about travel, per se, I had to post it as throughout my travels I’ve encountered some interesting misunderstandings in language. As a rule, I always try to learn at least a handful of words in the local language, however sometimes situations warrant mor...

I was recently the victim of a random act of violence. To set the scene: I was traveling home in the sardine can known as the Odakyu line on a weeknight around 9:30 p.m. The commuter in the seat next to the door had decided that getting a seat wasn’t enough — he also wanted the meta...
