When I travel I try to keep my options open with regards to activities and attractions. My ultimate goal on vacation is to have unstructured time to explore my locale, not to have a schedule, so I generally book a single thing per day and fill the rest of my time with whatever happens to … Continue reading Raindrops on roses 🎼

Salzburg run
While I’m a big fan of public transport while exploring Europe, my favorite mode of travel when I’m visiting a new place remains my own two feet.

Man, I am hurting, but, … Continue reading Seven Sisters Trail Race – 2018 edition

The price was a little extravagant, and … Continue reading Running for the sun and in the rain
