Interview Series: Edition 3 We interviewed New Zealander tattoo artist and world-traveler Amber Harris for our third installment of the interview series. Previously, we have interviewed Adrian Ann of Adrian’s Travel Tales and Jenn Turnbull-Houde of Two Weeks in Costa Rica. In the series, we ask five to six questions to female travelers and expats […]
It started as an idea… “I’m leaving Edinburgh soon, do you want to get together for drinks with a few travel folks?” I asked my friend Abhishek (of Wild Navigator) via Facebook. “Sure,” he said, “I’ll start looking into sponsors.” It never ceases to amaze me how motivated travel industry folks can be when it […]

I loved many things about Athens But one of the most interesting aspects of the city is the multitude of street art. You may be thinking: Every big city has graffiti. Why is Athens special?

To promote her new book, Backpacks and Bra Straps, she was running a ¢99 deal on her first one (sorry you missed it). “A travelogue for 99 cents?” I thought, “I’m into that.” To be honest, though, I thought it was about a girl getting […]
Interview Series: Edition 2 Adrian Ann of Adrian’s Travel Tales was kind enough to grant SGT an interview for our new series. Curious about the series? Check out Jenn’s interview a few weeks ago. In the series, we ask five-six questions to female travelers and expats who can offer unique perspectives on the transient or […]
Recently, I trekked to Munich I went to see my sister and brother-in-law as well as to attend the famed Oktoberfest. I’d found significantly cheaper flights through Basel, Switzerland than through Munich — it was cheaper even after adding train travel and an extra night at a hostel on the way home. So I found […]
