Walt Disney World Orlando
As someone who has visited Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida four times now, I consider myself somewhat of an expert, as do other people. I find myself constantly giving advice, directions and have even been mistaken as a cast member a few times.

Why Traveling Is Important for Both the Body and the Soul
Even at the young age of 19, I now find myself as what many would describe as a seasoned traveler. I have been to 15 countries, three continents, and most of the 50 states, and I plan to at least step foot in all of the places I have yet to go. Though I have been blessed with a family who has the means to aid in my journeys, I now find myself alone in the adult world, a college student trying to find who he is, with a tiny apartment, a part-time job, and a mind full of dreams. I make roughly 600 a month, not much to live on at all, but yet I still hear the call of adventure at my doorstep, and I still plan to swing the door open.

Dining Through Time
Roman air always seems so very full. Not just from the breeze rising from the hot ground, but full of history and stories that whisper about your ankles as you cross the cobbles. A gelato, while we wait, won’t hurt? Surely? We tell ourselves, our eyes widening, as we look over the rainbow of options available. We sit on a wall, older than our imaginations, swinging our dusty feet over the swarms of tourists below.

To Yorkshire with Love
Yorkshire offers a variety of attractions to the pedestrian historian. The county's lineage is full of Vikings and Romans, Normans and Tudors. Whatever era strikes your fancy there is something for everyone. I, myself, am a literature nerd and knew that no excursion to the North would be complete without visiting the Brontë Parsonage.

Quest of the Phoenix 2017 (7)
Today I had what was only like an hour’s journey to Casa Grande where I would be switching hotels because…I dunno, just to see a bit more of Arizona, mainly the area south of Metro Phoenix. Thus I slept in, not rising until 6:45. Once again I got a nice breakfast courtesy of the motel and re-planned my routes; I was also pleased to discover that my clothes had dried properly overnight. Taking the first load of stuff out to my car, I found the housekeepers, a middle-aged Hindu couple, sitting on the hallway floor waiting for me to leave (due to the short drive today, I had pushed my departure time close to the 11 AM limit). I told them that I had to go back inside one more time, did so, and then gave them the go-ahead before returning my keycard and heading out.
