London is by far one of my favorite cities in the world. It’s the first city I ever visited abroad and ranks very high on my 30 best cities in the world list. I’ve visited over 100 times since I lived there in 1998 but I’ve written very little about it over the years. Perhaps […]

If I were to draw up my perfect trip to London it would have been the one I just took. It was a mix of everything I love to do in one of my favorite places in the world. As many of you know I studied abroad in London in 1998 and that was the […]
How I Spent 3 Days in Liverpool
February 6, 2017 by 10 Comments
What do you think of when you think of Liverpool? I think of three things: The Beatles, Liverpool Football Club, and to a much lesser extent Gerry & The Pacemakers. I first visited Liverpool in 2001. As a massive Beatles fan, I did all the usual tourist stuff around them. I also remembered it being […]

Manchester is the second largest city in England and has really blossomed in the last decade or so.

Stonehenge is located some 90 miles […]

As you know, I think sports and travel go together. Sports and travel are my two favorite things. Often times, my travels have revolved around sporting events.
