GoldenBookTraveler is a vision of mine that is slowly comming into fruition. In January 2010, I will be traveling out of country for 3 months. Where will I be going? That all depends.
Imagine begin dropped off in the middle of a city square, alone. Your surronded by people, but they don’t speak your language. You have no map, no compass, no phone, and no idea where to go next. It is night time.
Your mission:
Find your hotel without ANYONE knowing where it’s at!
That was my scenario today. In [...]
Some cities fail to impress and live up to the hype, some cities are under-hyped, others are hyped and deliver beyond your expecations. I heard many great things about Berlin, but did not expect the city to live up to my lofty expectations.
It starts with the living quarters.
In my case the hostel, Wombats City Hostel. [...]
I believe I am a little over the halfway point of my trip, but who really knows. Each and everyday is a new experience and you really never know who you will meet or what you will do.
It truly has been an amazing trip so far, and if it ended today would be the greatest [...]
Paris was an amazingly huge city with an infinite amount of activities. I barely touched the tip of the iceberg on what France has to offer. Of course like most tourists I saw the Eiffel tower, went to a few museums, and spent a bit of money dining with the locals.
However, the high lite [...]
Hey all I haven’t updated this blog for a bit as I have been busy living and traveling. I’m currently in London, just got in today. The city is massive and I have a long day a head of me tomorrow. I’ll update previous expereinces in other cities when I get around to it. Hopefully [...]
Today I had the pleasure of visiting the Seville Cathedral, home of the tomb of Christopher Columbus.
The cathedral is an amazing display of Spanish architecture and the crown jewel of Seville. However, I am not so sure what I saw was the actual tomb of the great explorer Christopher Columbus.
Here are some pictures I [...]
I arrived in Seville, Spain today.
Sick, cold, tired, hungry, and frustrated are a few of the mild adjectives I’d use to describe my state of mind at the time. Excited, maybe a little, but my mind and body ached.
I had planned on staying in a hostel but LIFE had a different plan. I [...]
Granada is one of those cities I knew nothing about before I arrived. All I knew was that I had to go.
I’m starting to realize that so much of my travel experience is directly related to my experience in the hostel. I created all these wonderful, elaborate hour by hour travel plans. It seems [...]
I’m sitting in the lobby of my hostel killing time in Madrid, awaiting my 5:00 train to Granada.
Madrid was absolutely spectacular and an amazing experience. I enjoyed many of the events I did , but what really made this trip was the people I met along the way. I met so many different people and [...]
Tomorrow I´ll be leaving Lisbon to Madrid, which means I have to pack up my backpack again. I decided to drop my Merkur Travel Razor. The reason I brought this razor with me was because it was the only TSA approved hand-held razor I could find on the market.
Normally I wouldn´t post something that involves [...]
