Just warm, long pointy, baguette parisienne. Sure, I’d be happy to add in some stinky roquefort  or a nice spicy saucisson.

I’ve been traveling to India almost every year since I was born. My main activity- besides hanging with the fam- is eating.

In their… Read more: 36 Hours in Brugge & Ghent

I travel A LOT.  I’ve made 19 trips this year alone and it’s only September! I generally don’t dole out a lot of advice (except obviously when it comes to my true passion of recommending where people should eat and what dish they should try ) but a good friend asked me what I can’t… Read more: Track Hacks | The Essentials

To rectify the situation, I thought I’d share some thoughts and reflections from the last trip I made with G back in early January (2017).

I’ve wanted to go to Amsterdam for as long as I can remember. Somehow I’d made it to Schiphol airport twelve times before but never managed to leave the departure gates.
