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.”

jetsetters: @wanderingon_bn
Happy Jetsetter Day! Here’s what we learned about today’s Jetsetters, Brian and Noelle from Wandering On: they’re a lot braver than we are. No really, a lot. Scuba diving, hiking through Everest, visiting hissing volcanoes in Indonesia… there’s nothing this traveling Irish duo won’t take on. They may be our polar opposites, but like, RESPECT. Read on to find out just how brave Brian and Noelle really are (but spoiler alert, the answer is very), and then stop by their site to say hello! Favorite Place: We have been lucky enough to have been to a lot of really cool…

lady romantic & lady wino, the countesses of château challain
As you may have heard — because we haven’t been particularly quiet about it — we recently spent a night at the Loire Valley’s Château Challain. It was basically life-changing. Listen, 2013 was a big year for the Lazy Travelers. We learned a lot about ourselves. Though we won’t bore you with tales of introspection, there was one main takeaway. It is an absolute crime against humanity that we weren’t born into a royal family — complete, of course, with a sprawling château to call our own. We’ve already addressed this multiple times, most notably here and here, but it…

my hOtel: a cottage outside of henley-on-thames
Just outside of London, about one hour by train, there’s a little town called Henley-on-Thames. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting this pocket of England three times in my life: the first, on a Beatles bus tour of England when I was in the eighth grade. You’re jealous already, I know. That, however, is a different story for a different day. George Harrison’s former estate might be what introduced me to Henley, but there are now two far more VIP residents making themselves known in the area: Mr. & Mrs. O, of Mrs. O Around the World fame. My first visit to…

jetsetters: ben of the red rucksack
Well, hello and howdy-doo! Is that how you spell “howdy-doo,” do you think? It is a hyphenate? Do you live for reading our weekly Jetsetters intros? Because we live for writing them, and we’re sure Ben of The Red Rucksack really appreciates this one. Cha, that’s right, it’s Jetsetter day!! The first of the year, in fact. So, ready to meet Ben? Hi Ben! The moment you caught the travel bug: My first trip out of Australia was in January 2000. My sister Melanie was living in Indonesia working as a teacher so when she got holidays I flew over to…
