Nearly every year, Denmark comes out number one in the World Happiness Report. I set out to find why this is exactly. Is it the sunny summers, the free education, the anarchist pot-smoking neighborhoods? Or might it…

Warsaw Poland doesn’t play around! Whether it was making Pierogi or checking out the weirdness that is the Museum of Communism, we had some good times here. My crew and I broke down some of the most fun things to…

Welcome to Salzburg, Austria! Home of Mozart, the Sound of Music, and some of the most beautiful mountains in all of Europe. I went all out for this one, hiking up Untersberg in Lederhosen and a pair of Chucks. It…

Holy Shiggity, Interlaken was so much fun I’m not even sure where to begin. I guess let’s start with skydiving. I jumped out of a plane (13,000 feet!) without soiling myself. I went paragliding. I climbed to the…

Benvenuto a San Marino! Ah yes, the Most Serene Republic of San Marino. This tiny country is situated completely within Italy — one of only three countries in the world to be completely surrounded by another…
