Grano Pizza is my favorite place in Trondheim. Not only because its pizzas, sandwiches, and bread are all out of this world, but because of an event that happened here 2 years ago. Pass the tissues, please…

Please tell me you read the title in the rhyme I intended. Okay, enough of that…Trondheim is actually my favorite city in Norway, and I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t stop somewhere for coffee without doing some research beforehand. Dromedar Kaffebar has a few different locations in Trondheim, each having a unique layout and feel (yes I visited three locations at different times…

If you are looking for a small town with beautiful views of the mountains, water, and waterfalls and that has plenty of hiking, then look no further than Geiranger, Norway. I often found myself thinking “Wow, these people are so lucky they live in such a beautiful place!”. That was until I found my gaze wandering over to the thin, steep, and treacherous mountain roads that led out of the village…

Growing up in Upstate New York and going to the Adirondacks in the summer, I was sort of used to ⛰ = No WIFI. So I was pleasantly surprised to find that wifi and cell data coverage were quite abundant in many of the Fjord towns we visited on the ship. Now before you judge me for bringing up wifi before I talk about the gorgeous fjords, I need to remind you of something…

Kaffebrenneriet. But what a short pitstop it was on my one-hour adventure in Oslo… When working on a cruise ship, we sometimes will only be able to visit a port once - and the job doesn’t stop just because you want to go outside and explore…

Check back in a few days for the first city featured: Oslo!
I remember one time my dad texted me saying he was flipping through channels on TV and landed on an episode of Sex and the City. He thought of me and asked if I ever spend my days galavanting around NYC like Carrie Bradshaw. “Ironically,” I replied, “ I just got out of the salon on the UWS where I touched up my roots and got a blowout and now I’m on my way to meet for drinks with a few friends”….

Dream Cafe is the cutest little place - and quite unexpected. It is really close to the main shopping area in Hamburg Central but on more of a corporate parallel street. It is located in a basement space, but the decor makes the place feel light and happy…

Cafe May is a place near and dear to my heart. Located in Hamburg, Germany, I believe there are three other locations (I have a thing for cafes with multiple locations, apparently), but this location on Seilerstraße takes the cake - and my god are their cakes truly delicious! But no - it is not simply their cakes that make Cafe May one of my favorite places in the world. We have a history…

It would be remiss of me not to include some great places in Rotterdam that I visited but didn’t have time to take photos of. So here is a quick list of some great stops at and near the Rotterdam Markthal…

So… on our last day in the Netherlands, I came back to Vlaamsch Broodhuys, this time with a bigger group. We got there around closing, where we got to talk to one of the workers named Daan. Hey Daan 👋🏻So though there are 19 locations, this particular location is special because the owners live around the corner! Maybe that’s why it feels so nice and homey…

Vlaamsch Broodhuys is a chain of cafes with 19 locations all around the metropolitan Netherlands. But of course, I didn’t know that when I arrived! Like I told you guys in earlier posts, I am more of a “walk by and see what’s going on inside” level researcher . No, I was under the impression that I stopped in a cute little hipster/industrial warehouse style, one-of-a-kind bakery and cafe...

I’ve never been more excited to start anything, and it begins right here and now. 🌻
As I write, I am in Schiedam, Netherlands, 2 weeks into dry dock on AidaPerla. As you read…I’m sitting on my bed in Brno 😂But back to the past….It is now a nice spring day in early May. 🌷

This isn’t the blog for foodies, but rather a place for the average reader… I’m no professional and neither are you 😉
This is for the ones who walk by a cute cafe and say “ I’m gonna try this”, and even though the cappuccino tastes like any other cappuccino they’ve ever had, they totally buy into the cute esthetic of the place. And of course, it is for those who love to travel and explore new places and cultures…

As a creative person with a love for travel, my biggest passion has always boiled down to…eating. I love food and travel and, honestly, have such a hard time holding onto any of the other 1000 passions I have in the creative field. So with a visit to the cafe that started it all, some tasty smoked salmon set me on the road of this new adventure …
