We visited Trinity Brewhouse on our journey to get ALL the stamps in our RI Brewery Passport! Although we’ve already visited in the past, we wanted to follow the rules and refused to stamp our passports without trying their beers again. Unfortunately, our second experience here wasn’t as great as our first. Our Experience at Trinity…

Virtual Brew Run 5k: Shirt, Glass & Medal for $25
Run before beer and you’re in the clear! That is my personal motto for this Virtual Brew Run. This run, like the ones I previously wrote about, is a virtual run that can be done at one’s own pace. While the other races that I have mentioned only include a medal in the base price,…

Oakland Beach: My Favorite Spot in Rhode Island
Rhode Island is known for its popular white sand beaches that draw crowds from all over the country. One beach that is less known, and thus not as busy, is Oakland Beach!

Prague vs. Amsterdam: Clenliness, Transportation & Alcohol
So Prague has much cheaper public transportation with gaps in enforcing everyone to pay. There have even been big groups of people who form in order to ride illegally and chip in when a member gets fined – according to them it is cheaper than everyone having to buy a pass. In Amsterdam, there is no possibility of doing this and the system tracks how long you are traveling for and which routes you take. This information can be very useful for innovating public transportation to make it more convenient and altered to travelers needs.
