Omio Review – Book European Train Tickets With Ease

One of my least favorite things about traveling in Europe is booking European train tickets.

The reason for this is simple. If you are looking for cheap train tickets in Europe, this means going to any country’s unique rail service website, fighting with their archaic booking system, and crossing your fingers hoping an order went through.

Even booking a Europe Rail Pass likely involves an element of making a reservation on individual trains (especially on popular routes), which winds up at the same problem as above.

This is why I’ve reverted to using 3rd parties for my Europe train booking needs from now on, and the one I’ve found myself gravitating towards almost exclusively is Omio (formerly Go Euro).

The National Museum of Civil War Medicine in downtown Frederick is an interesting one as it takes a focused look on Civil War history via the medicine of the time.

In this one, I wanted to share more about why that is, and why this is truly a must-visit museum in downtown Frederick.

Trillium Brewing Company Was a Disappointment (But Not Because of the Beer)

I’m not one to normally go on a brewery rant, if only because I can generally always find something good in a brewery even when the beers are, well, not that great.

But what really lets me down is when popular breweries completely miss the mark from the hype, and during my visit to Boston, Trillium Brewing Company did just that.

This one had nothing to do with the beers, and was entirely due to the operation of the taproom- because I barely tried any of their products at all.
