Get Your Creep On In The Tunnels Beneath Paris

More than 6 million human remains line the tunnel walls of the Catacombs of Paris, spanning 200 miles. This spooky place was created to utilize the city’s ancient stone mines (which were occasionally collapsing due to poor construction) and address the pressing issue of overflowing cemeteries. At first, the catacombs were unorganized, but with the…

81 Stories Over Paris

The Eiffel Tower is the most visited monument on earth. It was built for The World’s Fair in 1889, with the intention of being demolished in 1909. However, this famous structure was saved because the French Navy repurposed it into a giant radio antenna.  At 1,063 ft high, The Eiffel Tower held the title of World’s…

The Mona Lisa Really Isn’t All That Great

Here I am, right out front of the museum that served as a royal palace for more than 2 centuries. Every monarch who called it home expanded the grounds more and more. Eventually, Louis XIV moved his court to Versailles, and the Louvre was never the main royal residence again. It’s transformation to art museum…

Nothing Beats a Major City Only 30 Minutes Away From Insane Nature

South Valley Park Trail is a beautiful, simple hike just 30 minutes from downtown Denver. The red sandstone rock formations jet out of the ground in a seemingly random order. I’d advise you go at sun up or sun down for ultra-dramatic lighting. Do you know of any other quick hikes near downtown Denver?

hello, London, my old friend

I’ve been lucky enough to go to London on several occasions. Without fail, I always forget how easy it is to walk 10 miles a day while you’re exploring. It’s a huge city. In the US, big cities are extremely vertical and squished together (unless you’ve been in LA too long). London, like many European…

That One Time I Drove to Arkansas For a Day

I’ve lived in Kansas City, MO for a year now and I’ve had the itch to discover the nature in this neck of the woods. Last weekend, I made the long trek (5.5 hours in a car) to the Ozark National Forest in the Ozark Mountains. Here it is! Whitacker Point in Arkansas. The hike itself…

The Beautiful and Progressive City of Copenhagen

I took the ferry from Germany to Denmark. It was lovely to float across the Baltic Sea, despite the stormy weather. Doesn’t the photo below look like a J.M.W. Turner painting? Once we landed in Denmark, the glowing farmlands stretched on for miles and miles–covered in windmills and sweet little farm houses. I snapped this shot of…
