My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury. I also enjoy taking us on the occasional detour to explore the inner workings of the travel industry.

Stadium Bucket List, Dodgers Stadium At Chavez Ravine

Dodgers Stadium is a great “old style” stadium. No, not a new stadium made to look old. An actual old stadium.

Baseball lovers absolutely need to catch a game at Chavez Ravine.
