Travel, eat, repeat.
Marrakech shopping I went to the desert to sand board. I went to Marrakech to shop. Shopping in the Medina, or Marrakech’s Old City, is an out-of-body experience. I’ve never wanted to buy things more than in those three days. My friends warned me to bring an empty suitcase. Reluctantly I brought an empty suitcase. […]
The Rissani market Every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, Rissani hosts the local market for the area. Locals, and a few visitors departing the desert, shop the market for produce, meat, spices, crafts, bikes, goods and even donkeys?

It’s perfectly acceptable behavior and one of the reasons why I love Amsterdam so much. No, I don’t often go around eating pancakes three times a day… but if I were to, I […]

La Perla Pizza has been one of my go-to spots since moving to Amsterdam about ten years ago. At La Perla they directly import authentic ingredients from Italy a few times each week including their buffalo mozzarella, their prosciutto and even their olive oil. This guarantees the ingredients are always fresh and taste like Italy. The […]
