Estonia: the country with it all
One of the things that brings me the greatest joy in life is hiking. Wherever I go, I seek out the best mountain paths, hilly passages, and lakeside trails where I can feel the connection with nature I always desire. For the hiker—and general lover of nature—that I am, Estonia felt like the country with it all! Its scenic coastlines with the rugged surf stretching out as far as the eye can reach, its vast mountainous areas, and its crystal-clear lakes make it the perfect place for the …
Luxembourg: a place of creative spirit
How would we describe our trip to Luxembourg? It was like stepping into a fairytale, into a world where kings reigned from great castles and knights fought off dragons in the sky. But as enticing as this was, what we really got excited about—and were surprised by, to be frank—was the youthful spirit of this place. Sure, its city center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and over 130 castles dot its land, but we suggest eschewing the wonderful historical bliss and exploring the creative spirit of …
Riga: A Bastion of Creativity
For humankind, the last 18 months have been tough. I for one really needed a breath of fresh air recently, which led me to Riga, a place that boasts the second-best quality of air in the world. Yes, yes, when I said I needed a breath of fresh air, I didn’t totally mean that literally. But I have to say, filling my lungs with Riga’s clean oxygen as I strolled its lively streets was just the tonic I needed. One of the most impressive things about Riga is the way it has meshed the old with the …
The beauty of Cyprus’s flamingos
One of the most memorable events of my life was seeing thousands of flamingos resting in Cyprus’s Larnaca Salt Lake. Watching these gorgeous pink birds, often standing on just one of their stick legs, made me feel a sort of peace about the world and appreciation of nature that I always seek while travelling. Want to experience these flamingos too? Make sure to visit during the right season, which is November – March. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Emily Titus? (@wilderness_chick) …

Charleroi: A city pulsing with art
Over the past few years of our travels, something has become clear: very often, in post-industrial cities where rents are cheap and space more plentiful, the most creative young people come. These young creatives arrive to paint to write and build and break—they are there to make new worlds. Though Brooklyn might be most famous for this, we recently visited a place where the creative spirit was even stronger: Charleroi, Belgium.

Dublin: A city with a great literary past and present
On nearly every street, around nearly every corner, it seems as though there’s a piece of immense literary history in Dublin. Whether you’d like to walk in the footsteps of James Joyce, seek out Samuel Becket’s favorite haunts, or pretend you’re Oscar Wilde, Dublin has it all. I recently spent some time exploring Dublin and its remarkable literary past. As a sidebar, I recommend the Bankers, one of the city’s last traditional pubs for effervescent refreshment along the way. The other highlight …
