Travel, eat, repeat.
Fratellini is a little taste of Italy in Amsterdam. This has become my go-to post-climb stop. Fratellini Amsterdam is conveniently located on Haarlemmerstraat. Pretty much on my way home from any and everywhere. And on Sunday afternoons post-climb, I’m a hungry girl. Fratellini always hits the spot. Fratellini serves fresh toasted Italian-style crispy focaccia sandwiches […]
Edinburgh has been at the top of my places to visit in the UK list for a while now. When I heard my cousin would be studying abroad in Glasgow, I knew I needed to make the trip and spend 1 day in Edinburgh. Getting to Edinburgh from Glasgow I joined a bunch of my […]
Cape Town Social Club is a fine-dining South African restaurant in between Amsterdam’s Jordaan (pronounced your-don) and het Centrum (the center). The narrow entrance opens up to a small yet inviting deep blue dining room, with an open kitchen and quaint bar. The blue is complemented with gold lamps, wooden details and plush cushions, giving […]
The fish & chips at The University Cafe came highly recommended by the late Anthony Bourdain. So of course, while in Glasgow, we had to stop in. The aptly named University Cafe, is located just a street away from the University of Glasgow. The University is indeed one of the most picturesque campuses I’ve seen […]
I first visited Glasgow in 2016. At that time, I left feeling underwhelmed by Scottish cuisine. I never thought I’d be back in Glasgow, but when my cousin said she was studying abroad, I knew I’d have to join the party. One of the highlights of our cousin weekend was the Sunday Roast at Chateau-X. […]

Over the last 8 years, I’ve accrued quite the curation of places to eat and drink in Amsterdam. My Google Maps is something of a joke amongst my friends – so many lists, hearts and want to go’s. I often get asked by friends and families for a list of the best places to eat and […]
This is certainly something I never thought I’d do, but I did it. I went to Edinburgh Chihuahua Cafe and yes, I had a pretty good time. This may very well be one of the strangest travel experiences I’ve had, and I’ve been to some weird places. Like this cave full of penises in Thailand. […]
Breakfast in San Cristobal El Faro El Faro is a local favorite. In fact, we went here for breakfast one morning and saw Chok, our scuba master, enjoying a bite too. It was our last morning, so Mike wanted to have one last Ecuadorian breakfast. I was still feeling full from the night before so I […]
