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.”

5 reasons we know we’re meant to live in a palace
Listen, all this talk of the Royal Baby has us in a tizzy. As you know, we’ve always felt a connection with the royal family, and to that fact, we’ve always secretly thought we might be royalty. It just seems incredibly likely that we were snatched from our palace at birth, and raised as commoners, never knowing our true identities. But sounds feasible, non? Even so, royalty or not, living in the lap of luxury has always come au naturale to us. And, after staying in the Four Seasons Gresham Palace Budapest, we’re 100% certain of one thing. We are…

jetsetters: @globalhelpswap
Oh heyyy dudes, it’s jetsetters day! This is helpful timing, as our heads are still cloudy from last night’s reunion outing with Mrs. O at Il Ristorante Rosi. But more on that later. First, we’d like to introduce you to our new favorite couple, Paul and Karen of globalhelpswap. Like all good stories, theirs begins with a dream to travel the world. Unlike those other stories, though, their dream involved traveling from London to Tokyo without ever using a plane… which they DID. I mean. Be cooler, please. Paired with the fact that the main goal of their site is to…

down under // sipping wine in australia’s hunter valley
It’s true: the hubs & I didn’t last long in Australia without heading to the vineyards. We basically landed, and on day two, hightailed it to Australia’s Hunter Valley. That’s right. On our second day in Sydney, Rae from Boutique Tours Australia picked us up bright and early. Along with a motley crew of fellow tasters, we made our way north to Australia’s Hunter Valley for a day of vineyard hopping. Hunter prides itself as Australia’s oldest and most renowned wine region. After prepping ourselves on the region’s offerings with their free iPad app, we were excited to focus our day…

the #LTeuropa reunion: where we laid our heads to sleep
As much as we’d love to be all luxury all the time, we’re no dummies. We adore laying our heads down on a feathery cloud as much as the next girl! But, unfortunately, we kinda adore our meager savings accounts more. Though our most recent reunion adventure took us to some amazing places, we couldn’t have done it without our signature travel move: the high/low accommodation mix. Should you find yourself planning your own holiday in Budapest, Bratislava, Austria or Prague, know this, friends: it can be done on a budget, but you don’t have to sacrifice comfort! Budapest Night…

a morning at the opera: touring the sydney opera house
When we planned our days in Sydney, there was no question we’d tour the Sydney Opera House, practically upon arrival. I’m a real sucker for iconic buildings and monuments. I tear up pretty much every time I see the Eiffel Tower. The Flatiron was one of my favorite things about my old work neighborhood. I we ever drive across America, I’ll def want to stop for every giant ball of yarn there is. So how was I going to miss the ins and outs of this beaut? We met our guide, Bruce, for the 9:30 AM tour. We stood at…
