In Beautiful Bali

I visited heaven last year!! To clarify, heaven (according to me) is a place which has a few stunning beaches,  great art markets, loads of activities, cheerful people and most importantly, has amazing food! So yes, I visited heaven a.k.a Bali last year! Bali, the island in Indonesia, is the right package of lush rain…

Odyssey through Orlando

NY or DC? NY or DC? Is what was racing through my mind when I was trying to plan out my three free days in USA before I flew back home. Out of the blue, I got this unexpected call reminding me of an option I had completely overlooked- Orlando a.k.a the land of roller coasters,…

Decadence in Deutschland

If you are travelling through multiple countries in Europe, it would be hard to not pass through Germany. I must have passed through some German city or the other, every weekend during my 4 month stay. Unfortunately I could not explore the country as I did for the other places that I was traveling to. But…

Italian Indulgence

No matter which part of the world you grew up in, the word “pizza” made sure that your antennas were up and the tummy was rumbling. Now bring this basic instinct to the birthplace of pizza- you are going to be on a nonstop food journey which will ruin pizzas, pastas, gelato and tiramisu in…

Hungry in Hungary

I admit that the title is a bit cliched but Budapest is anything but that! While authentic hungarian food did not rock my boat, I must say that the city of Budapest is really pretty and a definite stopover in the Eastern Europe travels. The city of Budapest is actually two cities- Buda and Pest…

In Paradise- Part 2

When most people think of Europe, they think of Paris, London, Rome or Milan. Very few might think of the Czech city called Prague! Well, if you are looking for somewhere beautiful yet off beat to go to, Prague should figure in that list of yours. Art, history, adventure, castles, parties, divine food and wonderful…

In Paradise- Part 1

I wonder if it was intentional that both the cities I loved the most in Europe started with the same alphabet as Paradise. Paris and Prague, ladies and gentlemen. They are diametrically opposite but oh so similar when it comes to the soul. Culturally rich which a history so colourful that it kept me wanting…

In-satiable Spain

This is one food journey that I have been looking forward to write about. If you are heading to Spain for a holiday, let me warn you that you will pack on a few pounds-there really is no escaping it. If you are tired of eating cold sandwiches and museli and yogurt everyday on your…

A Sojourn in Scandinavia

Scandinavian countries are full of scenic beauty and the people are wonderful! Their cuisine is so diverse that in every country you will find a special dish to try in every country.. in some cases it is an entire buffet of items. It really does feel like a sojourn because there are so may flavours…

Binging in Bruges

If you live anywhere near Belgium, you should try to go to Bruges as often as possible. It’s a beautiful town with delicious food! They had the most sinful hot chocolate in the world. We got lost in the town and ran into this place called the Old Chocolate House. It has a cute sign…

Swiss Yoodles

Zurich This one is an expensive country. So remember to pack your favourite spreads and pick up freshly baked bread for your meals. The Swiss eat their traditional meals pretty light. So you generally find a baguette, some butter swirls, cherry tomatoes, ham and a fizz drink or sparkling water. But we chose to skip…

Wanderlust in Wien

Food! Glorious Food! This place has the best chocolate cake in the world. It is really the best! I am not exaggerating. The Sacher Torte is not a cake; it is an experience! It costs 5.5 euros. But don’t scrimmage on the experience. Definitely try this while sitting in the Sacher café at the Vienna…
