Driving from Heidelberg to Frankfurt was only an hour, but that was part of the plan. After much research, we found a way to get from Germany to London with a short stop in a place we’ve come to love so much, Brussels, Belgium. We knew that we had a busy day of travel the […]
Maybe if we’d come here straight from Australia, before seeing the rest of Asia, we’d be more impressed? Don’t get me wrong, we were both in awe that we were in Tokyo, a place we’d been dreaming of for so long! The lights are bright and the city (rather, all of them!) are bustling heavily […]
What a great city to end our tour throughout South America. Where Did We Stay? There was much debate about where to stay. We read tons of articles that describe each neighborhood (there are 48 in the city!). As usual, we wanted to stay somewhere close to restaurants and activities, but wanted to keep our […]
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…
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 […]
We were so pleasantly surprised with Yogyakarta, or Jogja (if you’re a local!). It was clear from the moment we touched down that we were in “real” Indonesia now. Not the touristy Indonesia of Bali. The airport was TINY! The smallest that either of us have ever been in […]
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 […]
This recipe is a simple fun mash up of a southern American staple with some great Japanese influences. While it may seem like there are many steps to this, all of the ingredients are accessible and each component is fairly easy to make, so don’t let the amount of steps intimidate you! The Japanese aspect […]
A place to do… nothing. While Da Nang is also known as where the US Marines landed in 1965 and therefor has a lot of history attached to it, we decided to stop in there just to have a few days to relax as it is also known for its white sandy beaches. We […]

The ferry ride down to the South Island is totally worth it. It takes about 3.5 hours but it is such a better choice versus flying down. It’s a huge ferry that takes not just people, but cars and even trucks. You can buy private cabins or sit in the general area like we did. […]
The first thing we noticed about Chile is how modern it felt! Coming out of the airport and heading into the city was a breeze compared to the other cities we have been to given the fact that they have big highways here, complete with many electronic tolls! Between that, and the city of Santiago […]
Ah the bagel. Classic breakfast fare, good fresh out of the oven, or toasted a few days later. Smeared with cream cheese, slathered in butter, piled high with smoked salmon or stuffed with crispy bacon, creamy eggs and sharp cheddar for the on the go BEC sando, even topped with classic marinara and cheese! The […]
If you haven’t noticed by now, we kinda really love being in France. It’s definitely our thing, and to say we feel at home once we get there is an understatement. One of the best things about France is it’s location in Europe. On our many trips here we’ve been to the beautiful, sunny, warm […]
