    As you visit London, you'll quickly get the sense that history is all around you. Roman history under your feet dates back two millennia, never mind the imprint of all the centuries since. Other parts of England show the land's long history too back to the origins of Stonehenge 5,000 years ago and other relics of the Romans like the city of Bath...

    Teens are such a joy, aren't they? Maybe you're lucky and have raised teenage humans who are social, interested, and fun to travel with... or maybe you're the other 99.99% of parents who – despite their best efforts – have now encountered the phase of raising children where it's like pulling teeth to get them to look up from their phones and engage with the world around them. Either way, no judgment: just think back on your own time as a teen and it's easy to see why it's tough to be that age in today's world...

    I still remember my first trip to London and the moment when it became one of my favorite cities in the world. I arrived, jet-lagged after not sleeping on my first Transatlantic flight and hoofed it to a bicycle tour. We stopped to admire the view of Parliament at the exact spot pictured above, and I realized: wow! I’m in London! This place is so old! I was hooked, and...

    London is a city that can be explored in many ways; one of the most popular options is on foot. Though London's public transit – the Underground and red double-decker buses – are great for covering longer distances, they often fly past the smaller details and secret gems that you can only discover when walking around. That's why I love setting out on long walks in London – I always discover something new. One such thing is the extensive canal system that crisscrosses the city...

    When it comes to London pubs, everyone has one they love. Or two. Or a whole list of places they visit whenever they're in that part of the city. For your first trip to London however, you might want to pop into a pub but not be sure which ones are good (or bad). The reality is that the "landscape" of London pubs is always changing, and recent trends have aggregated many pubs into the same corporate ownership. For the most part, this has stripped the pubs of what made each one unique and enjoyable – but there are still gems to be found...
