Our next stop on our tour around Italy was the historic city of Florence. Since we stopped in Arezzo the night before, the drive was short and picturesque through the Tuscan countryside. We were told by friends and magazines that we HAD to stop in Siena and so…we did! A quintessential Tuscan town. All the […]
Well, here we are. The last part around our 3 week tour around Italy. (Okay, we’re publishing this one a little late… sorry!) After Bologna we were headed to Venice. We’d both heard so much about this “romantic” city and couldn’t wait to wind in and around the famous canals and see what it was […]
Arriving at London’s Kings Cross station was a great feeling. After the relaxing first class trip on the Eurostar, we were rested and ready to go! This was our second time there together. The last time we arrived right on Christmas! (Can you tell we like being in Europe during the holidays!?) Since we knew […]
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! […]
Wow! We’d both heard so many amazing things about Prague but we were so blown away by this charming city! Neither of us really knew much about it or what to expect, just that it was a place we had to visit. As we start talking about these Central/Eastern European countries, we have to […]

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 […]

When you think of Munich what comes to mind? For us, it’s beer! (okay, and football ((soccer)) for Dean)! Munich was another one of those cities that people said you could just take a day or two to see…we shouldn’t have listened! Not only is the city of Munich beautiful, but there is plenty to […]
We’re not much of the “action/adventure” type, so when trying to figure out what we wanted to do while in New Zealand we had to decide what was important! Since you’re probably familiar with our style now, it should be no surprise that we decided on good food, good wine and amazing views. We hopped […]

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 […]
Oh Arepas! If you haven’t heard of them, or had one, let us introduce you to these amazing little corn cakes! Click here to skip the story and head right to the recipe. First, let us start by saying that we have a certain love with Colombia which is where we first tried Arepas. Julie’s […]
