If you follow the blog and all of my socials closely, you’ve probably noticed that I haven’t really published anything in a few months. As someone who is horrible at being secretive, keeping this under wraps has been so hard. But I can finally make the big reveal – we’re moving to the Netherlands (and…

Florence is probably my favorite food city we visited during our time in Italy – I don’t think we disliked anywhere we tried, which is a feat in itself! There are so many amazing options, ranging from delicious focaccia sandwiches from a hole-in-the-wall to 13 restaurants with 16 Michelin stars between them. So there’s a…

Rome is such a large city that you likely could throw a stone in any neighborhood and hit multiple restaurants and bars. This can make choosing the right spot tricky! Personally, I try to do as much research as I can before traveling to narrow down our best options. Now are they always going to…

While I personally don’t really participate in Dry January, I know plenty of people who do as a way to reset after the excess that is the holiday season. In general, the number of people who don’t drink at all or have significantly cut back has steadily been increasing over the years. According to a…

But there are so many different varieties: still, sparkling, dry, sweet, sour – the options are endless! It is said to have…

In my opinion, Boston’s love of coffee isn’t all that surprising if you think about the city’s history. After the Boston Tea Party, where citizens dumped tea into the harbor to protest the British rule, they of course would have had to pivot to another hot beverage. Some say that Boston is now a city…

Boston is easily one of my favorite cities to visit in the Northeast United States. As the capitol of Massachusetts, it’s a major hub for history, culture, food and sports. Boston is definitely on the smaller side compared to other large cities in the Northeast, with a population of a little under 700k. For reference,…

I found the coffee scene in Toronto to be pretty diverse, just like the makeup of the city itself. There was a pretty good mix of independent coffee shops as well as a ton of Tim Hortons chain locations (which I should have tried as a baseline, but I just couldn’t do it. Maybe next…

Located on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario, Toronto is the capital of the province of Ontario and the most populous city in Canada. It’s a city known for its multicultural nature, renowned food scene, attractions like CN Tower and the Hockey Hall of Fame, and film production industry. One of the largest film festivals…
