It’s funny how people will have an opinion on all things solo and often reply “I could never do that alone” or the dreaded “you’re so brave”. While I’ve done so many things solo, going to concerts is always a tricky one for me. If it’s a larger stadium arena, I won’t go by myself …

I’m not much of a gambler, to be honest, I tend to lose more than I win and think how I could use the money elsewhere to enjoy (i.e. – shoes or vacation). That said, I do enjoy visiting the casinos for the food and entertainment options. Having grown up in Philadelphia, Atlantic City was …

What to do when you have a six hour layover at London Gatwick Airport and are flying British Airways? Take a shower at Gatwick! Unfortunately, London Gatwick doesn’t have an Arrivals Lounge like London Heathrow so I made my way to the British Airways (BA) Departure lounge, in the South Terminal, which was renovated last …

Arriving late to the conference, I missed out on the Rotterdam Street Art tour. But lucky for me (and you) that I discovered the ReWriters app that you can download (for a small fee) and tour the city’s street art on your own. If you are familiar with street art, you know that it is a …

Rotterdam is a city of striking modern design buildings that are quite impressive. The most unique might be the Cube Houses in their playful yellow color near the new Market Hall.

When I turned the corner walking toward the canal and the city center of Bruges (site of the Jan Van Eyck statue), I didn’t expect to see a massive four story high plastic whale “Skyscraper” aka “The Bruges Whale” trying to jump out of the water in the canal. The Bruges Whale is part of …
