Sometimes during travel, you want excitement. And sometimes you want to lay back and relax. To me, Barcelona has both.
Travel Favorites: Take a chill pill (Vibe)
Travel Favorites: Treasures on every street (Historic Sites)
One of my favorite travel destinations for historic sites is Italy. The country is plastered with historic building and ruins from every time period since the antiquity. I love wandering through its cities and admire remnants of Ancient Rome or the Italian renaissance.
Travel Favorites: Feeling like royalty (Service)
From the moment we got there, we were treated and pampered at every step of the way. Starting with complementary welcome massages, every room and corridor smelling of fresh flowers, delicious food, great drinks, lovely and approachable staff that seemed to anticipate your every need.
Travel Favorites: Big city vibes (Metropolis)
When it comes to cities, I personally love London. Amazing architecture, great food, lovely museums, smooth public transportation, fascinating markets... What's not to love?
Food adventures: Sushi Lô (Hamburg, Germany)
If you happen to be in Hamburg and are looking for good sushi, I would recommend Sushi Lô in Rotherbaum near U Hallerstraße.
Travel Favorites: Prepare for impact (Most fascinating)
I was aware that India would be very different from I had encountered before. I was theoretically prepared for the stark contrasts and ready to embrace the expected culture shock. But all my years of research and love from afar did not prepare me for the actual impact it had on me.
Travel Favorites: Taking in the scenery (Nature and Landscapes)
I used to say that I am a city girl through and through. When it came to travel, I was focused on city trips and architecture, the idea of the country side and nature bored me. Until I made it to Vietnam... and was convinced otherwise.
Travel Favorites: To my stomach’s content (Food)
When it comes to food, my favorite travel destination is definitely Thailand. Specifically for its street food. I was blown away by the diversity and flavor pallets that you get to encounter all across the country.
Around Europe in 30 days #25: The end of the road (Vienna)
My 30 day interrail trip around Europe had taken me to amazing sights, enabled me to meet fascinating people and forced me to face myself and grow in the process.
Around Europe in 30 days #24: Things might have taken a dark turn (Balkan)
My travel companion had disembarked in Budapest and decided to let me sleep, therefor leaving the door unlocked. The conductor asked me to secure the latch, which I complied with drowsily. And in hindsight, I am grateful that he did ensure that I did.
Food adventures: KENKA (Manhattan, NY)
This is not necessarily a family friendly restaurant. But the food made more than up for it.
Around Europe in 30 days #23: With hand and feet (Istanbul)
And even though I did not speak Turkish and they did not speak German or English, we ended up having a full fledged conversation with a mixture of basic words and body language.
