As a big Beatles fan celebrating the remasters release and Rock Band this week, I was thrilled to see a fellow music fan and traveler write up a post on where to trace the greatest rock band in the world. Andrew at Brooklyn Nomad gives us Beatles fans a tour of their musical roots through England, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada and of course the USA. Follow Andrew as he discusses where the Beatles began and ended. Try not to nerd out TOO much though like me!

Bearded Nomad Travels
Wow two of my favorite things coming together: handsome beards and nomadic walking. Meet Christoph Rehage as he embarks on a journey to walk to Germany through China. Interestingly enough, Rehage decides to grow his beard at the same time and see how long it can go without a cut. Prepare to drool and become jealous:

Hipster’s Guide to San Francisco
So that’s where all the Williamsburg hipsters come from! Viator Travel walks us through their San Fran guide according to uber-cool indie kids, aka hipsters, that inhabit the Mission District of San Francisco, CA. Enjoy some good ol’ poking fun of people, trendy hot spots, late night grub, and party destinations where you can find San Francisco hipster natives roaming. Some tips on how to become a hipster: get a bike, be cheap, eat Mexican food, wear vintage clothing, and don’t shower. Now off to San Francisco you go!
Did that cheer you up just a little? We hope so.
Remember today, travel tomorrow, and enjoy your weekend. Til next time!
