Traveling with only a backpack or carry-on may seem a bit daunting and even impossible for some of you (I'm looking at you, mother), but truly, it shouldn't be. Ever since the husband and I went on our first trip to Laos sans luggage, we haven't looked back. You may think that backpack travel is … Continue reading How To: Travel With A Backpack

My first impressions of this … Continue reading England
