From religion and reformation to chocolate and cheese, Geneva is a city rich in history and high on taste!

I had been to Italy five times before I made it to Florence, the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, so I was thrilled when I finally booked my ticket to go.
I wasn’t disappointed. Florence is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever seen, with medieval and Renaissance churches in every practically every piazza, interesting [...]

Getting from place to place in Sardinia can be a real pain, but the lack of convenient public transportation is the only drawback I can think of to this strikingly beautiful and interesting destination. Because Sardinia is easy to reach from many major cities in Europe, it makes a great getaway during your study abroad [...]

Even though it can be expensive to purchase and it’s easy to adopt the attitude that “nothing will likely happen,” no one [...]

Florence can be overwhelming. In a city dedicated to beautiful things, from churches to palaces to designer shoes, student travelers can have hard time knowing where to go to take home a piece of the loveliness at a student-friendly price. One of the best options is to head to the city’s largest market, the market [...]

I’m about to do something I never do. I am about to tell you that there is one travel product that you can’t live without, and that travel product is also the only one you’ll ever need.
That travel product is the A La Carte Map.
Gone are the days of lugging one of those huge, unsightly [...]

The train I took from Groningen to Amsterdam [...]
