We are not known in Cincinnati for our public transit options. And I never really traveled many places that had it. I was a little concerned how I would get to point A and point B. I often find myself in conversation with others that also find public transit in unknown cities intimidating.

It is often so easy, and with tools like the Berlin Welcome Card it makes it that much more easier. The Bruarfoss Waterfall in Iceland by far has the most blue water of all the waterfalls on the Golden Circle. It is a secret spot not too far from many of the typical Golden Circle sights. This waterfall may not be impressive in height but the color will leave you in awe. This post will lead you to the correct way to find the Bruarfoss Waterfall. The Trollunga hike in Norway is one of the most popular hikes in the country.

Hi, and welcome to Marie's Travels!

It is so for a reason as it over looks crystal blue waters and gives you a serious sense of accomplishment as this is not as easy hike. We completed many hikes during our time in Norway, this one was definitely the longest.

Why yes it is! Visiting the Guinness brewery is more than your usual tour. The time spent at the Storehouse will give you a chance immerse yourself into the strong foundation Guinness brewery had and still has in building the city of Dublin. Our visit here was definitely a highlight of our two days spent in Dublin, you can follow our 48 hour itinerary here.

Several years ago I got hooked on via ferratas. I am always searching for one to complete on our next adventure.

So when it came to visiting the town of Berchtesgaden Germany I knew there had to be at least one in the area. You can read about the one we completed in the Laterbruunnen Valley of Switzerland here.

  3. Vienna Itinerary: Marie Antoinette’s early life;

Because I use my phone A LOT when I travel for taking photos, consulting maps, updating social networks, taking notes, etc. This iPhone battery case has been a life-saver on many occasions. I dislike heavy camera equipment, but I am not willing to sacrifice performance or quality; cue this light-weight tripod and its flexible, wrappable joints.

This is what I use for night-time travel photography or lengthy aperture shots. Especially useful for bloggers!

Because every single one of our fabulous device needs to be charged at some point and because most hotel rooms never seem to have enough sockets to charge all of them at once. Definitely worth the expense. This lightweight and compact speaker connects straight to my iPhone and features a long-lasting internal battery.

Perfect for adventurous travellers! My very first book! Find out where they go for a romantic date, for happy hour drinks, and for Instagram-friendly coffee shops.

Because planning gap years can be quite a daunting task I can confirm first-hand that it is! This is a great book for travellers looking for urban inspiration Paris is overrated, right? This amazing book taught me how to wear a kilt, prevent a hangover, get out of a sinking car, eat a lobster, greet an alien, predict the weather, play croquet and much, much more!

These are my favourite city guides aside from my own, of course ; I love their minimalist allure and how non-touristy the suggestions are. All others, please do yourself a favour, and get this amazingly quirky carry-on cocktail kit.

I have one of these totes and I love carrying it around at the market. They are hand-sewn in the US and double-stitched for durability. I love how these colourful tags give my black suitcase a little oopmh, and make it so easy to spot the carousel. At that price, they make great travel-themed stocking fillers.
