    A morning walk along the Lake Geneva waterfront with a warm cup of coffee is a must. The cozy caffeine paired with the crisp air, glass-like water, and snowy mountaintop views is simply meditative. I’ve never felt more calm on tour. Bold Coffee is a great selection. The specialty coffee shop is around a 12…

    My slow morning consisted of coffee and bites at Sood. The speciality coffee shop was packed and rightfully so. With strong and rich coffee, one sip packed a yummy punch. The aesthetic ceramic mugs provided that cherry on top. Their bites were actual sustenance too! I hate when I go to a cafe, and all…

    I’d erased the Palais Garnier from my Paris wishlist. The historic opera house ended up being my favorite site I saw in the city. The Palais Garnier is a masterpiece of 19th century French architecture. Every inch of the opulent structure is a feast for the eyes. Like being in the center of a decadent…

    Utrecht around Christmas feels quaint and intimate. A pause from the hustle of Amsterdam, Utrecht is best explored by foot or bike. Make sure to look both ways! Those bikes don’t stop in the Netherlands for anyone. I’ve never seen so many bikes in my life. The Dom Tower is a steady landmark guiding you…

    Champagne Michel Fagot has me musing. Is my palate more sophisticated than I thought it was? Has my taste simply been a victim of poor quality? Michel Fagot has a deep legacy of producing quality Champagne in Rilly-la-Montagne, France on 15 hectares of vineyards. The amount of people needed to handpick those vines is insanity.…

    Heavy muscles dragged from my earlier performances. Desperate to be as show ready as before, I push my limits. Shaking and drained, I needed to manage my muscle recovery better.

    Shoveling chicken risotto in my mouth, my neck muscles twitched. I couldn’t help myself. In order to absorb the tallest building in the world with my little eyeballs, I had to bend my neck backwards while eating. Let me say, I would do it again. Jovee is a modern European and Japanese restaurant. It’s in…

    The oppressive heat in the mall parking garage made enduring the speech from our tour guide a matter of survival. The garage was sucking all the water from my body like a leech. He was ensuring we understood how women were expected to act in a mosque. My hydration wasn’t helped by the fact that…
