North America

We have compiled a list of our favorite places in Tucson – what to see, where to eat, where to sleep and some ideas for trips out of town.

We were surprised to see how many different types of tours Savannah offers – there are over thirty ghost tours alone! But in a city Savannah’s size, do you need to take a tour at all? Find out what we think, plus a quick guide to tours in Savannah.

During the California leg of our round-the-world tour we had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Diva in San Francisco for two nights in May. Though Diva doesn’t fall into the average backpacker’s budget, it most definitely falls into any Globetrotting Girl’s budget in need of a some spectacular relaxation in a sexy hotel in the heart of San Francisco!

We extended our Great American Road Trip 2011 from New Orleans up to Chicago, with a stop in Memphis, TN. 3,000 miles, 15 states, and a lot of deep fried fixin’s later, NYC2NOLA road trip has finally come to an end. Read on for updates on the last days and find out where we are headed next.

Yesterday in Philadelphia was all about the food, so today we dedicated ourselves to discovering the role that Philadelphia has played in US history. Both of us knew about the main attractions/events like the Liberty Bell and the signing of the Constitution, but we were actually very surprised to understand just how much of the American way of life is revealed in the city.

Our first of two days in the capital included night bike rides through the neighborhoods, a visit to The White House and seeing the monuments lit up at night.

Although we could spend months immersed in that particularly sweet blend of New Orleans urban life, there came a point during our visit where we just had to get out of town…what we discovered were the rural roots that throughout history have melted together to make the Crescent City so unique.

Leaf peeping is such a fun, romantic way to enjoy the Fall season…

On a local’s recommendation, we explored my hometown in a way we never expected – and saw the city from one of its most beautiful sides…

Discovering Montreal’s public bicycle rental system made exploring the city so much easier! We had 24 hours to see Montreal’s main sights and neighborhoods and cycling in Montreal is a breeze!
