The perfectly strange but somehow it works, Japanese meets Lebanese bento lunch in Paris. I tried to stop by @mokonutsbakery without a reservation. Not happening, but lucky for me, the friendly owner directed me a few doors down to @mokochaya where they were just beginning their lunch service. Last weekend, I visited my friend’s new bar, food hall, club and most importantly social hub of Versailles, Sept Lieux. Sept Lieux is just a few steps from the famous Chateau de Versailles, housed in an unassuming building and former post office. They first opened in 2024 just in time for the Olympics, and this summer the fun is heating up. Stop and smell the roses my friends. 🌹Are you ready for King’s Day? Ps it’s on the 26th this year - don’t get caught by surprise. And yes, Amsterdam is about to look just like this. 😮 👑 🍊 🇳🇱 Tulips in Rhode Island. Should I move back home? #wickedtulips #wickedtulipsflowerfarm #rhodeislandlife #easterHiking Acatenango and Fuego volcanoes in Guatemala was one of the best experiences I had last year. Being this close to an active volcano, mind blowing. 🤯 Maybe a trip to the mountains doesn’t solve all your problems, but it certainly makes them feel small. Reminiscing with# some footage. Read the full experience over on my blog, link in profile. Last February I went snorkeling and diving in Belize. We visited Hopkins and Caye Caulker and went snorkeling and diving with a few different companies. Caye Caulker was the clear winner! Amsterdam Light Festival 2024. Edition 13, theme rituals is lit until January 19th. Walk, bike or cruise ✨We visited the little Christmas Market at the Tofta Manor just outside of Gothenburg, Sweden. How cute and cozy and freezing it was. Christmas gifts, local goods, crafts and even pony rides for the tots. 🧑‍🎄
