Since visiting London, I’ve become accustomed to the art of afternoon tea. I never thought to add milk to tea, and wow is it a game changer. Tiny sandwiches and scones with clotted cream and jam made me feel so fancy and posh.Visiting the various markets in the city has also allowed me to expandContinue reading “Keep Calm and Have Some Tea”

London on a Budget
I’m not a person who is willing to skip on luxury, but at the same time, I like to save where I can. Finding out different ways to save here and there really adds up and lets me stretch my travel money further. I am in no means a cheap person, and if there’s somethingContinue reading “London on a Budget”
7 Days in London
London has been on my bucket list for a long time, probably since high school I’ve been dreaming about going. I mean, it’s London! Union Jack, Queen (both Liz and Freddie Mercury), tea at every waking hour – sounds good to me! This was my first international mother-daughter trip where it was just the twoContinue reading “7 Days in London”
Jewish Budapest
From the turn of the twentieth century, the Jewish community in Budapest was enormous, around 25% of the population. The war decimated the Jews living in Budapest, and now a very small percentage still live in the city. The seventh district of Budapest (Erzsébetváros) is still known as the Jewish Quarter. There are memorials allContinue reading “Jewish Budapest”

Tickets cost 310 HUF (~1 USD) each way, and can only be bought at the station before getting on the train. The trainContinue reading “Day Trip to Szentendre”

La Dolce Vita Di Roma
Pizza, pasta, vino. Live by these words and you’ll find eternal happiness. Italy was really one of the first countries abroad I got to explore. Yes, I did have a long layover in Madrid for a couple days, but it wasn’t really the same as actually having a trip there. This city is absolutely incredible,Continue reading “La Dolce Vita Di Roma”
