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: @travelingted
Ahh, another jetsetter! Today’s featured traveler is pretty much our complete and total opposite. His forté? Outdoor adventure travel. As a reminder, our forté: indoor wine-drinking travel. However, this works out well for us, because while we sit inside sipping our chianti, we can read all about Ted’s latest trek through Guyana or cross country ski marathon or the time he smeared himself with chocolate and ran through the streets of Trinidad & Tobago (per his blog, this really happened). Oh, also, laaadies: he’s single! If you want to feel extra flabby, fat, and lazy (or you’re single and ready…

cozy up, new york
If you know us well, (or have read any posts from the winter ever), when the temperatures drop, the wino and I have a serious problem with the whole “leaving-our-apartments” charade that other people call “living.” Apparently it’s ok if bears bury themselves underground for months, but less endearing when humans do it? Also, here is where I note: neither of us actually know what hibernation is or where the bears go, exactly. Anyway, as we already addressed, this year we are trying to change things. I’ve found that the best way to get me out of my pajamas and into the…

rtw rookie: planning fiji
Bula! It’s RTW Rookie, ready to share the next leg of my round-the-world adventure. We’ve talked RTW dreaming, planning, flying, and starting in Hawaii thus far. Let’s not stray too far from the beach… Next up: planning Fiji! We’re spending one week in Fiji (by the way, Bula means hello in Fijian). To be perfectly honest, I’m still not completely set with my Fiji plans. However, time is ticking! It’s fine, I’m not too concerned. And don’t worry, I’ll keep you folks abreast of any major deviations (and would seriously appreciate any feedback). In the meantime, let’s check out what we…

travel announcement: vegas, baby!
Ahh, travel announcements never get old! It’s been about, what, one week since we revealed The Lazy Travelers’ plan to drink our way across Eastern Europe? So I’m feeling like we’re all ready for a new announcement. Here goes: The wino is going to Las Vegas! (Like, le duh, I wrote it in the title.) Image courtesy of the romantic In total honesty, Las Vegas is nowhere near the top of my bucket list. I know, I know–there are plenty of people (friends, family, and most likely readers of this blog included) who really love Sin City, but it just…

new york times travel show: tips for first-timers
This weekend, we had the pleasure of welcoming our fellow travel lovers to our beloved city for the 10th Annual New York Times Travel Show. As first-timers, we were nervous. We carry a general fear of large crowds and salespeople, and we had no idea what to expect from the three-day show. Luckily for you, just like the romantic’s adventure in TBEX-land, we’re here to share our newfound wisdom. Without further ado, some tips for anyone thinking of taking the leap and signing up for next year’s show. Hello, Javits Center. You are practically in New Jersey. The Do’s DO purchase…
