I have an exciting post today! I was just wondering what I’m going to write about, when I got this news: I got nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award! I was nominated by Hannah from Eat Sleep Breathe Travel, who is one of my favorite bloggers! She mainly travels by herself (something that I really admire) and shares funny travel stories, city guides, and solo travel inspiration. She recently completed, and surpassed, her goal of 25 countries by 25 years…
Vienna Zoo: The exhibits – Part 2
Last week in Part 1, I posted pictures of the regular animals. But this week, I’ll be talking about the special exhibits that make Vienna Zoo the coolest zoo I have ever visited! Let’s get straight to it! If you just want to know if it’s a responsible zoo or not, feel free to jump to the bottom! The Rainforest I thought this was the most interesting part of the zoo! As soon as you step into this huge multi-level glass building,…
A little Monday gratitude
Funnily enough, exactly one day after I published this post, the clouds and rains came and haven’t stopped yet. Looks like the weather gods were listening! I’m so thankful for the change in weather and everything has been remarkably more enjoyable. In fact, the days of sweating to death seem like a lifetime ago. That’s kinda the way it is, isn’t it? We are constantly seeing so many new places and experiencing so many new things, that the past quickly becomes only a faint memory…
[Budapest] Traditional Hungarian Cuisine
Budapest marked our first non-euro city, and you know what that means? It meant that for the first time since setting foot on this continent, we didn’t have to worry so much over how much were spending over food. For the first time, both of us could get a drink at dinner, without having to share or go without. And dessert is on the table once again! I realize I haven’t done a Foodie Friday post in quiet some time,…
Vienna Zoo: Meet the animals – Part 1
I admit that one of the things I was most excited for this Europe trip is the Vienna Zoo (or Tiergarten). But for a good reason! The Vienna Zoo is the oldest zoo in history… that’s crazy! It was established in 1752 as the private royal menagerie, as this zoo is actually located inside the Schönbrunn Palace grounds! The zoo has had a colorful history since its establishment. Before World War I, it was a lively zoo with 712 species and over 3500…
Couples Travel: Lesson One
D and I almost broke up twice in the past 3 days. No joke.* (*Ok.. maybe joking a little. Before anyone freaks out, we are now back on track on Operation LoveyDovey.) It always happens something like this: I make some innocuous remark that D deems to be annoying (for example: are you sure we can eat here? It looks too fancy…). But instead of letting it just quietly blow over, the simple, stupid argument escalates and goes into all the…
Little moments in Budapest
I would really like to start blogging in real-time more… mainly because my memory gets fuzzy when too many days have passed. And well, then it’s impossible to capture your true feelings about something you barely remember. So even though I have a lot of catching up to do on this blog (more of Paris, Antwerp, Amsterdam, and Berlin), I’m here today with a real-time update on Budapest. I had hoped I’d like Budapest, but also didn’t want to force expectations. (Seriously,…
Sainte Chapelle Cathedral… my one Paris love
Paris is such a confusing city. I don’t love it, and half the time, I don’t even know if I like it. BUT… I have never been anywhere that made me constantly want to cry from overwhelming magnificence. There is something about standing in the shadows of centuries-old buildings that will break down even the most iron-hearted of us (though I am pretty emotional). And no building gave me that feeling more than Saint Chapelle Cathedral. Sainte Chapelle Cathedral looks like nothing from the outside…
