Lazy Travelers
The Lazy Travelers are two transatlantic best friends who have mastered the art of exploring a new city. Though Ashley is based in London and Carolyn is in Philadelphia, we'll use any excuse to reunite around the world. We’re professional bar hoppers, pub crawlers, and food testers, and you’ll never see us zipping around, checking things off a list of “must-sees.”

no travel required
The romantic is here to tell you that Abbey Road is not a street that you can just casually stroll across all barefoot and laid back. She was 12 when she visited and still considers it a near-death experience. 10 Most Famous Streets in the World WELP, you can now find us in Nicaragua, living on $2 a day and riding around in a chicken bus. HOW TO STAY ON BUDGET IN…NICARAGUA Don’t mind us, we’ll just be in row 38 munching on stale peanuts and trying not to get whiplash from the seat-kicking happening behind us.

may: the month of me
Sometimes, you have to hit the bottom before you can make it to the top. That’s the saying, right? Let’s just call that the theme of this past month. I meaaan, in all honesty, it’s not like April was the worst of times. Generally speaking, I’m pretty content with my life. I can pay my bills, I enjoy the flexibility and surprises that come along with babysitting, and I try to have fun a good amount of the time. I’m thinking that maybe it was the rain and cold that settled in at the end of April, but I caught…

why the french stay thin (and why americans in france do not)
French women: we love to hate them. Effortlessly chic, undeniably cool, and always skinny. When I decided to study abroad in Paris, I thought it was the perfect segue into womanhood. Go away as a slightly rumpled, standard American college girl; come home sleek, chic, and très petite. With a cigarette in hand, of course. Two years later, when I decided to move to Ireland, I dreaded the inevitable pounds that were sure to creep up in the land of Guinness and potatoes. True fact: In Paris, I gained 10 lbs. Ok, closer to 12. In Dublin, I lost 10. Figure that one out,…
