There is a lot to be seen in Havana but it is also important to get a little outside of the city and see other areas. Fusterlandia is only about a 20 minute drive form Old Havana and one of the coolest little neighborhoods I have been to. This entire neighborhood began when artist Jose…

Exploring Havana and Local Artists
A fantastic way to really see the scale of a city is to leave it and see it from another perspective. Havana has 2.2 million people in about 281 square miles which is roughly the same size and population of Chicago. We went up to the Havana Harbor on a beautiful day and were gifted…
London for the Millionth Time
Jumping across the pond tends to be easier to do in/out of London. There are so many flights and then all of Europe is open to explore! It seems that every time I travel I meet about 4,000 new people that live in London. I had plans for a few nights but I wanted to…
Signal Festival Prague
I love traveling to cities having no idea that a festival or event is even happening. I went to Prague a few years ago (read about it here here and here) and loved it and wanted to go again to cut the traveling time of my trip from Vienna to Berlin. Signal Festival or Festival of…
Miró in Barcelona
Although Barcelona is hugely influenced and overpowered by Gaudí, there are plenty of other artists that have left their mark in the city. We decided to step away from Gaudí and head to the Joan Miro museum. I love Miró and have a print from MOMA that I fell in love with a few years…
Barcelona is all about Gaudi
There is no way you can visit Barcelona and not visit a few of Gaudi’s architectural wonders. I visited Casa Mila for my second time and you can see what I thought of it last time here. This time I listened to the guided tour a little bit more and just took in everything with…
Amsterdam
When most people think of Amsterdam they immediately think of the legalized drugs and the Red Light District. I went because I heard it was a beautiful city with amazing architecture and entertaining people. While traveling in Peru in March I met Dutch guy that threw out the offer of something like, “If you are…
I spent my time in Munich at museums
Having just come from Berlin, I didn’t expect Munich to be sooooooooo much hotter! AC is not very popular here except for cooling the beer, so I spent my time in museums to stay cool. I went to the BMW Museum, Bavarian National Museum and the Pinakothek. In the middle of my museum going I treated myself…
A wee Scottish adventure
Scotland was never on my list of places to visit when I started out on this adventure. However, when my mom said she was coming to visit and wanted to meet me in London and travel from there, only a few places were along the way to Dublin. We decided to check out Edinburgh and…
The Devine Comedy in Frankfurt
Finally the museums were open and I got to spend my day as I pleased. I chose to go the MMK Museum for the The Divine Comedy exhibition and was not disappointed by anything that I saw. This piece is by Bili Bidjocka and called Graces & Intentions & Graces. You can see pencils hanging from the painting…
