We heard from so many people it was like New York City on the other side of the world and that is the perfect description! The hustle and bustle is real here. Everyone has somewhere to be and something to do and you better not get in their way! When deciding as to where to […]
Christchurch and Auckland were our last two stops in New Zealand. After traveling through mostly rural areas and being in small towns, it was nice to be back in bigger, more populated cities with many more choices for food! The night before heading to Christchurch, while still in Cromwell, we thought it would be fun […]
Italy, oh Italy. First stop was Rome. It’s quite difficult to find a place to stay there when you’re on a budget! All the websites we did research on told us to stay in the historical center as that is where all the main sights are, but there were literally NONE without paying some […]
This versatile meat preparation has so many names, but all are essentially the same thing and can pump up any ordinary meal. The Milanese/schnitzel/Katsu (& so many more names!) preparation is essentially a flattened piece of meat that is breaded and fried. Click here to skip the history lesson and head straight to the recipe! […]
A man we met on the plane told us we were starting our trip into Asia the right way with Bali being the first stop. He said it’ll be a nice introduction to Asia. (Technically we’ve been to Asia, but we consider India its own sub-continent) He called it “Soft Asia” and that the weather […]
Okay, we both love you, but that doesn’t sound as sexy in French! 12 lovely days in one of our all time favorite cities, Paris! We’re posting this in 2 parts – This one is a super long post (we had 12 days there after all!) and we just love Paris so much, we…
Cambodia has completely surprised us. We thought it was going to be super 3rd world. Old cars, run down roads and tiny shops… nothing more than the famous Angkor Wat. Boy were we wrong and we’re incredibly happy about it! First impression, the airport is gorgeous! Big, modern and clean! We expected something similar […]
Once Bubby arrived, we slowed down (with still managing to see and do A LOT!) and had one goal in mind, show her the best time we possibly could! On her first day we took her to The Eiffel Tower so she could see it in all its glory, and went to Galleries Lafayette, Paris’ […]
Singapore, a city and country all in one! Everyone warned us it would be expensive here and boy were they right! We used 3 of our free nights on Hotels.com for our hotel stay here and still ended up paying a good amount! (Of course, we booked through Ebates to get some extra cash back! […]
You can’t love every place you go… right? Bangkok is a city. Just like any other city, Just with some more questionable areas. Maybe if we’d come here before seeing other parts of Thailand first, we’d be more impressed? We were pretty confused and unsure when trying to figure out where to stay. […]
Hi. We’re Julie and Dean. Our passions in life are each other (of course!) food, wine and travel. “I’m gonna take you to Paris!” That was probably one of the first things I heard from Dean in the beginning of our relationship. Okay so, at first that might be weird to hear from someone you’re […]
To us, being a foodie doesn’t mean just eating at world class restaurants or dining at famous chefs outposts, it means getting down and dirty with the locals, eating at roadside stands, small local restaurants and places that have survived generations. Anyone that knows us, knows that there are 2 things we love to do, […]
