The Post-Nassar Dumpster Fire Part 1: USA Gymnastics
Don’t let the pug pattern fool you. I needed a positive aspect to this post. Ah yes, the dumpster fire that is the aftermath of the Nassar abuse continues to burn. At this point it seems that the leadership at both Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics are adding gasoline, not water, to the situation.…

Seven Days in (Mostly North) Charleston: How Many Biscuits can one person eat in a Week?
The answer, my friends, is a lot. There are many things I miss about Charleston: the good food, the good beer, and the amazing people I met in my ten years living in South Carolina. Last week I traveled to the Lowcountry at the very last moment to pack up the rest of our belongings.…

Northern Ireland: A Game of Thrones and Boxty Adventure
This spring we had the opportunity to spend two days (not nearly enough time) in Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is amazing and you have to visit the coast if you have the chance. Because we were limited for time, we mainly stayed in Belfast and then traveled the coast on a Game of Thrones tour.…

“The craft beer brewers are the new rockstars”: An Interview with the organizers of BPBW Beer Week in Budapest
One of the best ways to experience a city’s culture is through their food and local beer. Moving from Charleston, SC to Hungary in 2016, we’ve loved tasting the amazingly unique beers developing in Budapest. The Hungarian craft beer scene has been growing; this May, Budapest will host the country’s very first international craft beer…

Leadership at Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics has failed to change the culture that Enabled Larry Nassar.
While Larry Nassar was sentenced to life in prison this February, the story of his abuse–most importantly how he got away with it for SO LONG–continues to unfold. To recap, Nassar’s molestation of over 300 women over the course of 20+ years in multiple institutions is one of the largest abuse cases in the history…

Early 2018 Wanderings: Bratislava, Vienna, and Prague
It has been a busy few travel months as we transition from winter to spring (finally). From Bratislava (chilly), to Vienna (freezing), and Prague (Do I need a jacket? Shorts? What’s happening?) we’ve found some new favorite spots and seen a few of our most-loved bands in familiar cities. Bratislava, Slovakia Deli Grössling: Located next…

All You Need is Ice Cream: Szigliget, Hungary
Our amazing friends from Charleston visited last year and we all took a trip to Lake Balaton for the first time. I’m actually pretty ashamed that I haven’t been to Balaton (although we had a trip scheduled before I caught the flu during my birthday) but it was great to experience Central Europe’s largest…
