This is probably the first post I'm going to make here that is going to set me up for serious judgement, but I'm just being honest about the things I do when I travel. Happy ending massages aren't on my normal itinerary, but something I wanted to try out in a place that it is legal and full of gorgeous women.I did look this up before I went to the Czech Republic as an option, but it kind of happened out of nighttime boredom.I was only in Prague for a couple of days. The first day I got there in the afternoon on a flight from Rome. When I checked into my hostel I tried to find a time that I could do laundry, but the only time I could do it was 8pm that evening. I was in desperate need for some clean tee shirts so I just took that time and went out exploring.That day I … [Read more...]

My Trick to Falling Asleep While Traveling [90% Works Every Time]
For as long as I can remember I've always had an issue with sleeping. I can think back to elementary school when I'd be up all night watching infomercials trying to get myself bored enough to fall asleep. There are only so many times you can watch Ron Popeil and his audience scream "set it and forget it" before you start to lose your adolescent mind.I'll admit I've even had problems with sleeping pills in the past. Over the last few years I've gotten my sleep under control by eating better, exercising, meditating, and sticking to pre-bed habits.When I fall out of the elements and my regular routine, I've had a lot of issues getting the sleep back.

How and Why to Be a Tourist In Your City
How to Travel Without Going Far Sometimes you need to get away but don’t have the time, money, or a mix of both to do it. Odds are there is plenty to do and see either in your own neighborhood or a short drive away.People get stuck in their little world bubbles too easily.

I asked around, and most people back home never saw it either.How can you live your entire life in one place and never see any of the things that people travel from all over the world to see? Are there people from Los Angeles that never stepped foot on the Walk of … [Read more...]
Why I’m Traveling Solo to Hong Kong
To be honest, Hong Kong was never actually at the top of my bucket list of places I wanted to travel. It's definitely on my list of places I want to go, but I found my upcoming trip sort of at random. Cost of Hong Kong Travel You can get away with traveling to Hong Kong on a small budget if you really want to. The US dollar is currently really strong compared to the weak Hong Kong dollar. The Hong Kong dollar is at its lowest in three decades. That means that my money will go a little further than it normally would which is lucky for me since I'll be traveling right before Christmas. I need to make sure I can still spoil my niece with gifts.Besides the exchange rate, traveling to Hong Kong is affordable overall. You can stay at a pretty nice hotel for under $100 per night, if … [Read more...]
