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.”

sneak peek: the emerald isle
On the hubs’s first — and up until now, only — trip to Ireland, we were on a bit of a time crunch. My previous stint in Dublin gave me knowledge enough to run him from Trinity College down Dame St. to Temple Bar for a pint of Guinness and a pot of stew, then onto The Brazen Head for exactly one rendition of “Dirty Old Town” before we had to get back to the airport for our flight back home to NYC. Fast forward nearly four years later, and I’m on my fourth trip to the Emerald Isle. Still,…

for the decidedly un-lazy traveler: night kayaking in st. thomas
When planning my four days in St. Thomas, I knew I wanted to focus the bulk of my time doing a few very specific things. Sipping beachside cocktails, sipping poolside cocktails, and… more of the first two things. My fiance, however, had other plans. Halfway through day one and unable to sit still for longer than an hour or two, he was antsy. That’s right! Itching for some sort of adventure. Hiking, snorkeling, night kayaking? The Caribbean was our oyster. Cue the Adventure Center at Frenchman’s Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort, which offers a variety of on- and…

city dwellers: new york’s murray hill
When the romantic first declared her triumphant return to New York, our minds didn’t even consider Murray Hill. Instead, they took an immediate trip to the good old days. Frolicking about the Upper East Side, hand in hand in hand in hand (our other halves belonging to the other two hands, natch). It seemed easy to resort to our safe space, our boozy comfort zone, our decidedly uncool highlands. Obviously, that changed. As we started to plan our weeklong rendezvous, we realized this was the perfect time to take advantage of all the Big Apple has to offer. With a…

jetsetters: hippie in heels
Happy Tuesday, little loves! This week’s Jetsetter is full of SUCH INTRIGUE. Don’t believe us? Come meet Rachel of Hippie in Heels and check it out for yourself. But first! Let us review the facts: Rachel is a self-appointed contradiction: one half “dirty hippie,” the other half girlie-girl. She’s a former nurse and a current masseuse in India. MOST IMPORTANTLY: She aims to show people that travel can be glamorous, even on a budget. Sounds like our kind of girl. Read about it, and then go say hi again here and here and here. Most unbelievable travel experience: Taking a camel safari in Rajasthan…

photo escape: colmar & the alsace wine route
Somehow, time is very quickly getting away from me. One minute, we were all bundled up in the dead of winter, counting down the seconds until we leave country living behind for bigger & better (read: a city). The next minute, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the blossoms are blooming, and the French countryside? Well, it isn’t looking so bad. Just before my birthday and right on the cusp of spring, the hubs proposed a little road trip. I’ve been dying to see Colmar since before we even knew we were moving to Fontainebleau, so with the one request that I…
