What is Communism? Prague Tries to Explain…
Blog: Inside the Travel Lab - 30 March 2012
It was the second time I’d stood on the banks of the Vltava River in Prague, watching the Charles Bridge stretch lanterns across the water towards the castle.

But Oh, Those Berlin Summer Mornings (and Prague Nights)
Blog: Girl, Unstoppable - 27 March 2012
While hosteling in Berlin, I quickly realized that even if you sit out the Saturday night partying, the party will eventually make its way to you.
