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
I got nervous this was us until I realized we haven’t flown anywhere recently, have never flown first class, and aren’t a drunk German couple. Otherwise: demanding more champagne? Could have been us. Flight Diverted Due to “Unruly” Passengers in First Class Requesting Champagne This can also be titled “New Places for The Romantic & The Wino to Lust After.” What? We love a good castle.

a perfect day at toscana saporita
It’s no secret that we’re food lovers. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m a foodie–both because I think that term is silly and because I have been known to choose Shake Shack over Smith & Wollensky–but I definitely appreciate both eating and making good food. Much like doing my hair in a reasonable amount of time and getting over my fear of running in public in order to catch a train, this is something that has only been enhanced by our travels. When we were planning our honeymoon–and I use the term planning VERY loosely because we…

visitors = vacation
One thing I’ve learned in the years of living away from my hometown is that I LOVE entertaining out-of-town visitors. It seems like I am always counting down the days until the next weekend when one of my friends or family members comes to visit. Tomorrow, Mom and Gram are making the trek from Bucks County, PA for my first official visitors weekend in Rockville! Though I’m not the one traveling, I almost feel these weekends are mini vacations. After all, they have all the same components of traveling: Site-seeing Having visitors gives me the motivation I need to see…

the romantic’s 2012 travel resolutions… ish
Our travel plans for 2012 are all sorts of up in the air at the moment, but like the wino, that doesn’t mean I don’t have some travel resolutions in mind for the New Year. The hubs is currently in Alabama for work (lame), so last night I hunkered down. I made use of my alone time, and conquered a little list. Learn how to use my DSLR I got a Canon 60D for my birthday last year, and though I was able to pick up the basics pretty quickly, the thing does SO MANY TRICKS. I’m hoping that I’ll…

the traveler’s diet woes
Happy hump day, lovelies! Wednesday typically means two things in the Lazy Traveler universe: wine and Jetsetters. Tragically, this Wednesday, we have neither. GASP! I know what you’re thinking. What went so wrong in our lives that led us to a Wednesday without these two staples? As far as our weekly Jetsetters feature, it’s a lot of work lining them up and we are lazy really busy! As far as the wine…well, this is the most tragic story of them all. We’re in the midst of our annual January Panic. You know the “I ate too many cookies in December and now…
