Europe on Five Wrong Turns a Day: January 2012

It's a parking lot.
Not kidding.

Hello. I'm Doug.

I'm a writer based in Minneapolis and the author of Europe on Five Wrong Turns a Day (Perigee Books/Penguin, 2012), a travel memoir about my attempt to tour Europe guided only by a 1963 copy of Europe on Five Dollars a Day.

This blog has its roots in that trip, and if you dig back through the 2009 archives, you can find my posts from the road. Most things I post here have to do with the travel, history, and topics related to that trip. Also food, architecture/design, and the eternal quest to find the Ideal Chocolate Croissant (tips welcome). Among other things.
