We happened to be in Taiwan during the Chinese New Year, and it seemed like a fitting place to celebrate. We’d never done a really honest to goodness celebration of the Asian holiday, so we made a point of doing…
Cafe Central in Vienna, Austria is one of those sites that’s iconic on a smaller scale. It frankly isn’t big enough for every tourist to visit while they are in the city, but you might have seen it in Instagram…
The Roman Forum is one of the most amazing archaeological sites in the world. It also happens to be very photogenic because Rome has done such an amazing job maintaining it (well, once it was already in ruins). We were…
