Do our fears grow with age? Another reason to travel while your young
It hit me as I was being chased by a man in a “Bane” mask at the London Tombs, a haunted activity part of The London Bridge Experience. I’m scared. I don’t like this. Get me out of here as soon as possible. And I love Tom Hardy… I don’t know what happened to me. [...]

A three day London tour highlighting the city’s free attractions
I’m the biggest dork when it comes to travel. Ever since I was little I’ve been an aspiring Danny Tanner, itinerary printed out for everyone traveling and heavy knowledge of every stop on the tour, even at Disney World.

A chaotic meeting of artists at The Bride and the Bachelors
Ric and I don’t see eye to eye when it comes to modern and contemporary art. I am fascinated by it and even if I don’t like some pieces, I always do like to learn about the concept behind it. Ric gets frustrated and says, “Why is this art?”, which I’m sure is a lot [...]

Why cabaret is the ideal weekend escape
