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.”

the lazy travelers take europe: the wino’s irish & swiss highlights
I’ve been looking forward to writing this post for a while. but now that I sit down to do it, I’m getting majorly overwhelmed by all of the wonderful things we got to see and do (and eat and drink) on our European adventure. Short of posting my journal verbatim, it’s hard to capture everything I loved about our time in Switzerland and Ireland. And no offense guys, but I don’t really want you reading my journal. So alas, you’ll have to settle for my Irish and Swiss highlights. After careful consideration, this is what I’ve come up with: Bern…

jetsetters: 30 Traveler
Remember, once upon a time, when we featured weekly jetsetters? YEAH, those were the days. Luckily, 30 Traveler to the rescue! Our blogger today blogs VERY anonymously… so we can’t tell you much other than that she is vegan, she is from New Zealand, and she has a soft spot for NYC–and thus, a long list of vegan NYC restaurants we are unfamiliar with! Also… she is planning to leave her job later this year annnd will be starting in Hawaii. Sound familiar? No, she’s not RTW Rookie, which means we now have two super anonymous bloggers on our hands with…

the lazy travelers take europe: the romantic’s highlights
It’s still hard to believe that less than one month ago, the wino and I were frolicking through the snowy streets of Switzerland, trying to pinpoint our next meal drink. Unsurprisingly, we’ve spent the better part of the past month regaling our friends with stories from the good ol’ days. We’re those girls, telling anyone who complains about New York, “it’s nothing compared to Switzerland.” Yeah, we’ve been really popular ever since we returned. As with any good getaway, when I think back to our weeklong adventure, it’s all a big blur of snow, cheese, wine, and French accents. But…

swiss itinerary reflections: what could have been
We’re not quite sure how it happened, but it has officially been one month since we set off for Switzerland and Ireland. It felt like we spent so much time planning our Swiss itinerary, it’s impossible to believe the trip has come and gone. As hindsight is always 20/20, we’ve spent most of this month reviewing our glorious week of European exploration. As a result, we’ve discussed basically every detail of our days abroad. Final ruling? We planned a pretty stellar Swiss itinerary, especially for first-timers. Including our extended layover in Dublin, we were able to explore 6 cities in…

quarterlife crisis: finding luxury
Thanks to the European extravaganza that was our week in Switzerland and Dublin, we’re entering 2013 a little bit more enlightened. Call it a quarterlife crisis, call it growing pains. But we learned a lot! We learned that not only are we able to live out of a backpack — we actually prefer it, under the right circumstances. Also, we learned that raclette exists and, more importantly: it’s a perfectly suitable meal! OH AND, we learned just exactly WTF l’Escalade really is… which, consequently, led us to learn that we will feel disappointment when we expect a human sacrifice and there is…
