This summer, I visited what is now one of my favourite cities in the world – Stockholm! While I didn’t get to try a lot of typically-Swedish food when I was strolling through the city, I did try a few dishes at a vegan restaurant in the city. I’ve always known that salmon’s a staple … Continue reading
I haven’t always loved coffee. I remember being 14, and thinking coffee tasted like some bitter form of disgusting chocolate that I’d never want to try again. It wasn’t until I was 16, and exposed to Starbucks, that I realized that I love a chocolatey-coffee, also known as the “mocha”. I stuck with this drink … Continue reading

In all honesty, this has always been my weakness: while I’ve always been very keen on being an adventurer, I’m not the most adventurous eater. I do enjoy a wide variety of food, but if I simply don’t think something … Continue reading
