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.”

rtw rookies: wrapping up in waikiki
After a week of the rugged, untouched beauty of the North Shore and Kauai, the hubs and I decided we’d spend two nights in Waikiki, which equated to about a day and a half because of our flight schedules. Everyone warned us that Waikiki is very different than the rest of Hawaii, so we weren’t too concerned about limited time. Everyone was right. Waikiki is, for lack of a better comparison, the Times Square of Oahu. It’s the place you just kind of have to see for yourself, partly because if you tell people you’ve been to Oahu and haven’t…

style spotter: yasawa island
Ohhh man, are you guys in for a treat. Thanks to the incredible genius of my red-headed counterpart, we’re officially launching a new Lazy Travelers series! It turns out, there’s more to the romantic & the wino than a love of travel and red wine. Like most girls, and especially New York twenty-something girls that work in the fashion industry, I also reallllly love clothes. I’ve realized that my past travels have had a major influence on my personal style. My propensity to wear mostly black, for instance, stems from six months living in Paris, and my love of Topshop…

legends of the na pali coast
As one of the world’s most beautiful coastlines—and the second fastest eroding—there’s no question: if you find yourself in Kauai, you have to dedicate time to exploring the Na Pali Coast. Tour operators around the island offer various ways of seeing the jagged emerald coastline, and options include everything from an eleven mile hike to a helicopter ride to a boat tour. Given our budget and lack of interest in walking six hundred million miles, we knew we’d go with the boat option, and thanks to a year and a half of saved up credit card points, we eventually found…

#LTGoWithOh bucket list item 2
As of Friday, we’re less than two months away from our highly anticipated reunion en Europe! Insert dancing emoji here! With the bulk of our hotels lined up and our airfare recently purchased, we can begin to plan all the nitty gritty details. Namely: adding to our Go With Oh bucket list. You already know we’ve vowed to host an American-style barbecue on the terrace of our Viennese apartment, but because you’re all the best, we’ve gotten a few suggestions for our next bucket list item. After careful consideration (read: drunken googling), we’ve decided to take the road less traveled.…
