Midnight In Rome: Book Review and Interview with Michael Gyulai
At 22, Michael Gyulai graduated from college and moved to Rome with a simple goal: "To really live there. To understand the place like a local." Midnight in Rome, a memoir about the time he spent in Rome, is an engaging exploration of just how difficult it can be for travellers to immerse themselves in a foreign culture.
Going Solo: Interview with Debby Lee Jagerman
Debby has travelled up and down Europe, Vietnam and Alaska on her own, and she's visited Australia, New Zealand and Iceland with friends and family. Most recently, Debby circumnavigated the Baltic Sea for a little over two weeks, squeezing in visits to seven capital cities.
Debby now blogs about her travel experiences on Beth Whitman's Wanderlust and Lipstick, a site dedicated to encouraging solo women travellers.
I caught up with her to talk about her recent trip to the Baltics and her perspective on travelling solo.
