Now that we’ve discussed meeting boys on the road let’s talk about the other things in life that can’t be forgotten while traveling: fashion. Looking fashionable is always desirable however I often, when beginning to travel, found it difficult to “keep up” with trends as I carried 2 pairs of pants and 5 t-shirts. Not quite so fashionable. Then I realized the best part about traveling: you have the opportunity …
These last days we’ve talked so much about romance that happens while traveling that I felt it quite appropriate to give some tips to those who maybe, would like to meet a nice boy on the road, but are not sure how to meet him.
When you find yourself single and ready to mingle there are more than a few ways to go about getting out there. If this rings any …
We here at Travelettes recently received a letter from a future-world traveler asking one of the most reasonable questions of them all:
Where do you get the time and money to travel when working, studying, or both?
As I can only type (facts) from my own experiences I will try to answer this question to the best of my ability. Sometimes I look back and ask the exact …
My love for travel always involves some serious complications because, for the most part, I don’t have a “home base”. This means constantly moving from place to place with a a roughly outlined plan and a frustrating amount of baggage… so maybe that makes me a nomad. Have you ever felt this way? If so then you’ve probably experienced some unexpected trials and tribulations on the road.

Okay, let’s be honest here. We’ve heard the screams or semi-pleasant whispers of, “less is more,” and I KNOW that you probably claim to believe it, to the hilt, every day of your life. EXCEPT for when it’s time to pack for a series of semi-short trips smooshed into a big, long trip. This applies particularly when you know you will be staying in a foreign place for more than …
This is how happy I was the entire time I was there. Seriously.
Let me make this very clear. When I arrived in Budapest I learned that not only did I know negative 3% about the city itself, but I knew negative 100% how to properly pronounce the name. If you can do it without sounding like a pretentious non-Hungarian, by all means begin NOW. The correct pronunciation is “BudapesHt”; …
Let this post be one of those which provides you, the reader, with a general idea of how to handle and what to expect in various, completely random circumstances. The reason I traveled to Berlin in the first place was to attend classes affiliated with Humboldt University. I saved up a couple of credits necessary to graduate and decided to throw them into the “travel plans” which worked out much …
In my photography I have a tendency to view everything as an alien might, snapping pictures mainly of things involving repetition or orderly shapes. This outlook on life made it extremely easy for me to photograph Berlin when I arrived at Alt Tegel airport. The first thing I learned: Germans love their recycling.
The most difficult part of the recycling process for me was deciding where to put what in the …
Let me start by saying that, for those who are unfamiliar, in the States, the “deep south” consists of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Antebellum homes, mosquitoes galore, southern cuisine and southern comfort (the drink and the feeling) are all included in the “deep south” package. If you’re wondering why Florida is not considered the “deep south” then I truly believe first hand experience is the only way to …
In the last post I attempted to give some ideas on how to make a clean break for a new start or long trip, and left at our departure: me and two friends, stuffed into a Jeep on the way to Alabama from Illinois. The first thing I would suggest on a long road trip would be to, if at all possible, switch up drivers from time to time. Whoever …
