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.”

#LTeuropa bucket list takedown: the strudel
Like most of our adventures, we didn’t really pre-plan our Eastern European reunion…at least not in the traditional sense. We knew where we were going to sleep and which cities we would hit, but, per usual, that’s where the plans ended. We weren’t too concerned with visiting Schonbrunn Palace or sitting through a classical concerto because, sorry, ZZZZZ. Instead, we focused on the important things: our bucket list. Naturally, one of the things that most concerned us was our commitment to… Learn to make strudel CHECK. On our first full day in Vienna, we made our way over to the…

foodie break: il ristorante rosi nyc
– Editor’s Note: Sadly, this location has since closed! Be sure to visit Chef Casella’s other locations around the world. – When I heard the news that my beloved partner in crime and red-headed BFF, the romantic, was making her triumphant return to New York on the same day that my friends Ana from Mrs. O Around the World and Stephane from Four Seasons Doha were visiting, I knew I had to plan something fantastic. Aaaand, cue the inevitable case of panic that every good hostess experiences. It was time to plan an Upper East Side dinner fit for a…

wining & dining in sydney: making our way through a new city
With only a few days in Sydney, we mad the best choice. Thanks to a half day food tour with a local company called Ultimately Sydney, we saw the city’s food scene much differently than I had expected. After much time spent wining & dining in Sydney I can confirm. It’s not all shrimp on the barbie & fish and chips, after all! So, where did we head on our Gourmet Tour of Sydney’s Inner West? Stop 1: The Coffee Roaster As we learned in New Zealand, both Kiwis and Ozzies are extremely proud of their cafe culture. Each morning,…

style spotter: budapest, hungary
I’ve never been more proud of my packing capabilities than the night before I left for #LTeuropa, having rolled up two week’s worth of carefully selected outfits, accessories, and toiletries into a small carry-on suitcase. Could it be that The Lazy Travelers are actually perfecting the art of packing lightly? Flash forward forty eight hours and the romantic and I were sprawled on the floor of our one hundred degree, un-air conditioned apartment, dreading the thought of putting on any of the outfits I had carefully chosen for our trip. I attempted to put on a ankle-length black maxi and…

relaxing in rocks square (or, how i fell in love with a house in ruins)
After our morning tour of the Sydney Opera House, the hubs and I decided to stay close to the harbor. The weather was absolutely gorgeous on our first day in Australia, and after the chill of New Zealand’s South Island, we were craving more sun and waterfront views. As we wandered, we eventually found ourselves in The Rocks, which, as it turns out, was one of the best ways to spend our mid-morning. To be honest, it’s clearly a super touristy area. It was reminiscent of New York’s South Street Seaport, and some of the stores and restaurants were the…
