no travel required
The romantic is here to tell you that Abbey Road is not a street that you can just casually stroll across all barefoot and laid back. She was 12 when she visited and still considers it a near-death experience. 10 Most Famous Streets in the World WELP, you can now find us in Nicaragua, living on $2 a day and riding around in a chicken bus. HOW TO STAY ON BUDGET IN…NICARAGUA Don’t mind us, we’ll just be in row 38 munching on stale peanuts and trying not to get whiplash from the seat-kicking happening behind us.

French women: we love to hate them. Effortlessly chic, undeniably cool, and always skinny. When I decided to study abroad in Paris, I thought it was the perfect segue into womanhood. Go away as a slightly rumpled, standard American college girl; come home sleek, chic, and très petite. With a cigarette in hand, of course. Two years later, when I decided to move to Ireland, I dreaded the inevitable pounds that were sure to creep up in the land of Guinness and potatoes. True fact: In Paris, I gained 10 lbs. Ok, closer to 12. In Dublin, I lost 10. Figure that one out,…
