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.”

style spotter: havana, cuba
Though we have a few things in mind for 2017, there’s one place that has long been calling our names. And, now that travel to this place has just recently become a possibility, we’re dying to get ourselves to this little island that’s long eluded Americans. Enter our latest dream packing list with today’s style spotter: Havana, Cuba. It should come as no surprise that we’re more than a little obsessed with Christmas here at LT HQ.

#LTportugal // three nights in porto
Bear with us for a moment while we ask you to reach back into the far corner of your memory. Please remember that approximately four months ago when we went to Portugal. Yep, complete with a tour of the Douro Valley and three nights in Porto. Seems like a distant dream, right?? We spent a full week in Northern Portugal, drinking wine and exploring the Douro Valley, and bookended it all with a little preview of one of our new favorite cities: Porto. Though we hardly scratched the surface on everything the city has to offer, we made a valiant…

style spotter: the lazy travelers’ 2016 holiday gift guide + giveaway [NOW CLOSED]

Just pile on the blankets and watch The Grinch Who Stole Christmas on repeat. You’re being festive! BONUS POINTS if you also read our 2016 holiday gift guide, but of course!

weekend warriors // 48 hours in copenhagen
In an effort to move forward around here, we’re carrying on with our content as planned for the rest of the year. It feels a little weird, to be honest, but, you know. Here we are. If you missed our post-election reflections, you can find them here. In the meantime, it’s back to our travel tales, little lazies! —– This is going to sound so dumb, but as we neared the end of the summer, I realized something. Based on our projected travel plans for the rest of 2016, I was scheduled to visit ZERO new countries! What the what?!…

what now? // reflections on the american presidential election
The past 48 hours have taken a toll on us. On all of us. The American presidential election is over. Like so many, we waited for November 8, 2016 for a long time. After proudly casting our Pennsylvania state ballots, we watched the results come in on Tuesday night from our respective couches, across an ocean and across timezones, 3,500 miles apart. We were confident that the American people would elect the most qualified candidate; the person who had spent years fighting for women and children, supporting our beloved New York City during a time of tragedy and heartbreak, traveling…
