Most out of our own pocket, several for family and friends we were travelling with, and twice on press visits years ago (one Paris Pass, one London Pass, both disclosed). Over time the answer to “is the GoCity Pass worth it?” has become less of a yes-or-no…]]> https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/gocity-pass-worth-it-by-city/feed/ 0 https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/barbados-itinerary/ https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/barbados-itinerary/#respond Mon, 27 Apr 2026 11:57:08 +0000 https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/?p=38063 https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/barbados-itinerary/feed/ 0 https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/2-days-in-venice-itinerary/ https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/2-days-in-venice-itinerary/#comments Sun, 12 Apr 2026 00:08:48 +0000 https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/?p=38322 I first fell in love with Venice when I was 15. I’d come with my parents, and a thunderstorm rolled in over St. Mark’s Square so dramatically that everyone else scattered. I had the whole piazza to myself, water pooling around the columns, pigeons gone, just me and one of the great squares of Europe.…]]> https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/2-days-in-venice-itinerary/feed/ 4 https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/planning-a-trip-to-barbados/ https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/planning-a-trip-to-barbados/#respond Fri, 06 Mar 2026 02:44:42 +0000 https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/?p=37880 Jess and I have spent a fair bit of time exploring Barbados, and in that time we’ve covered pretty much every corner of the island. We’ve driven the wild east coast, eaten our way through the south, watched the sun set from the west, explored museums in Bridgetown, spotted wildlife, and wandered the beautiful beaches.…]]> https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/planning-a-trip-to-barbados/feed/ 0 https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/the-best-things-to-do-in-barbados/ https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/the-best-things-to-do-in-barbados/#comments Wed, 28 Jan 2026 00:22:44 +0000 https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/?p=37683 If you’re planning a trip to Barbados and wondering what there is to do on this beautiful island, then you have come to the right place.

We’ve visited a number of times, and since we moved to the US it’s become one of our favorite cities for a quick overnight trip.

We’ve already covered in depth all our favourite things to do in Kampala, but we appreciate that if you don’t have time to do everything, you may be wondering how best to spend a day in Kampala.

It’s a fair question, because picking the right machine can make an enormous difference to your workflow. A sluggish computer turns what should be an enjoyable editing session into an exercise in patience.

Most international visitors skip it for the gorillas and the chimps and the savannas, which I understand, but spending a day or two in Uganda’s capital before you head off to the parks gives you a much better sense of where you actually are.
