One of the best ways to travel is through exchange programs. That’s how Amanda ended up in Italy, hoping to get a semester’s worth of credit, learn a little Italian and be an ocean away from her parents. (Just like any other 20 year old.) But Amanda’s real education began with the murder of...
So we only got one day in Copenhagen, a city we were surprised to see so much of during a day walking around. At 1000 years old, there’s no wonder it’s such an amazing place, filled with rich architecture, amazing sights and those rewards around every corner. We would highly recommend anyone going to...

Copenhagen is a beautiful city — and I’ll get to that over the next couple of days. But as we were mapping out our walking tour of the city for the one day we were going to spend in Copenhagen, we included stopping along the harbor and checking out the Little Mermaid. Of our...

We spent the past hundred years up sizing, so it was inevitable: downsizing is now the rage, whether we like it or not. From cars to homes to waistlines to well, now hotels. Everyone’s heard about the capsule hotels in Japan’s airports and train stations, and thought sure, if you’re tired enough, claustrophobia won’t...
So you're in Detroit and you want to snap some pictures of all of the decay you've seen. It's called Ruin Porn and it's quickly becoming a hipster past time, that allows you to judge and feel better about yourself. So click away.
Any trip to Amsterdam is not complete without a visit to the Van Gogh Museum.
