England Bound: The Visit
I mentioned back in January we were getting ready to run off to warmer weather near the end of February, and we did find warmer weather. The post just before we left was all about the arctic temperatures gripping western Pennsylvania, so, finding weather in the 40s was a major improvement. We hoped for a […]
Gift List 2014
The holiday season, aka gifting season, is upon us. For those of you who have procrastinated, here’s your heads up: As of this posting there are only 10 shopping days left. So, for all of you who are stuck looking for a gift for the traveler in your life here is a quick list of a few thing […]
Dolphin Discovery
Ages ago, my family took a summer vacation to the Caribbean. We enjoyed a week of sun, sand, and the absolutely gorgeous water that’s kept me (and now Zeke) returning to the area as often as possible. On the same trip, my sister and I asked my parents if we could try swimming with dolphins. […]
King of Fruit
I had my 20th high school reunion last month and had a lot of fun, the best part was we didn’t just sit around as Springsteen suggested and talk about “Glory Days,” we caught up on what each of us have been doing the last 20 years. I have to say one of the most […]
The United States Sailboat Show
If it had ever been suggested to me that I’d be spending the day walking around the harbor in Annapolis, Maryland in my bare feet on a damp fall day in the beginning of October I’d think you were crazy. Well, you’re not. I was in my bare feet and loving it. The 45th United […]
A Day of Sailing
A guest post from the youngest member of the No Kids, Will Travel family — and we literally mean family — Andrea Changuris. I’m sitting around at the beginning of summer talking with my boyfriend, Matt, about our plans. We rattle off the standard wishes for summer. Let’s go on the river, let’s try for the […]
Kayaking the Allegheny
Ever since the weather warmed to a reasonable temperature here in our new hometown of Pittsburgh, I’ve been watching clusters of bright yellow kayaks slip up and down the shoreline of the Allegheny River. I’ve never been in a kayak, but it looked like fun and I’m a big fan of anything on or around […]
Gone Fishin’
I know it sounds cliche, but some of the fondest memories of my childhood are fishing with my father. I didn’t care if it was on the Potomac River in a canoe, on the shore, or at our local pond (pictured). I found it to be a wonderful learning experience about life, about bucking up and […]
Traveling Healthy
When you go on a trip to a new an exotic place you’ll spend some time picking out that unique keepsake to take home with you: a bracelet, a t-shirt, a shot glass, a artisan-crafted wood bowl. All fine choices, but what you don’t want to bring home is measles, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) or polio. […]
Can I Eat This?
I know we’ve all had those sad (and sometimes embarrassing) travel stories that usually involve trying something new, being too lazy to use bottled water for brushing your teeth, or eating that deliciously ripe piece of fruit that ends in… shall we say intestinal discomfort? Particularly after such an incident, you’ll ask yourself — more often […]
