Orlando, Florida: More to the Story than Disney
Orlando is an awesome city! The people are really friendly and the sunshine and blue skies makes being there all the more delightful. Its location being in central Florida also makes for an easy road trip from other major cities such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and even Atlanta.

Rome, Georgia
My travel friend Corey loves watching television, especially travel shows. When he’s not watching Rick Steves Europe, he’s watching Georgia Traveler on PBS.

Place d’Italie and Butte aux Cailles
During this trip to Paris, I have made the Latin Quarter my home. The 13th arrondissement is the neighbor, which includes the lively Place d’Italie and the charming village-like district Butte aux Cailles. This is a good place to go if you’re looking for something relatively uncharted by tourists.
