Budget Friendly Budapest

February 11, 2013 by The Runaway Guide Leave a Comment

Sure London is lovely, Paris is pretty, and Rome is cool, but what about the cities of Eastern Europe? You hardly ever hear Gina from Brooklyn say, “Hey Marty! Me and the kids are going to Prague this Saturday.” No, it’s almost always Rome or Barcelona. People just don’t realize how cool the cities of […]

10 Songs that Will Remind You Of Heaven

January 8, 2013 by The Runaway Guide 8 Comments

I once spoke with a revered Islamic Imam in Damascus. Although he was a priest of Islam, he was also an educated theologian and philosopher at heart. So captivating were his views on life, that morning turned to night as if under an eclipse. One issue that had plagued me was the spiritual dichotomy between […]

In the winter, the island is bleak, frigid and dark. Aside from the moon, the stars, the northern lights, and the drunken glow of three old Norwegians, (Dagfin, Kia, and Jan),the island is shadowed in darkness. But in the summer, the island epitomizes the land of the midnight sun. Though you can’t see the infamous […]

A Chance To Donate To Childeren in Nepal

November 13, 2012 by The Runaway Guide 8 Comments

When I was 18, I spent five months traveling through India and Nepal. While I greatly enjoyed Sikh and Hindu culture, the ubiquity of poverty in both countries was overwhelming. Like “Slum Dog Millionaire,” countless blind and diseased children begging on the street would approach me. Although I wanted to help them all, it was […]

How Turkish Hospitality Saved My Life

November 11, 2012 by The Runaway Guide 10 Comments

I had always head references to Turkish hospitality in books and in movies. But I had always just thought it was a tourism slogan that caught on. However it wasn’t until I visited Turkey as a 16 year old runaway did I realize the truth of this expression. While it’s true that most people just […]

Top 10 Photos from Around the World

September 4, 2012 by The Runaway Guide 12 Comments

 Only a month into my last trip, I had my very expensive Sony Cyber Shot stolen on a train in Italy. I was totally bummed and thought that that would be the end of my photo taking career. Fortunately, a few weeks later in Sicily, I managed to get a hold of a cheap (140 […]

True Life: A 25 year old Travel Blogger

August 28, 2012 by The Runaway Guide 24 Comments

When you turn 25, shit gets real! Sorry about that, I’m still recovering from Amateur Night at the Apollo, one of the best and most ghetto shows in NYC ya heard. Seriously though, getting old is strange. Things start to change. Biologically speaking, scientists posit that at age 25, you’re cells die faster than they […]
