The Great Budapest Smash Burger Debate
During my month in Budapest I kept hearing the same argument every time people talked about burgers. Everyone had their favorite smash burger spot and everyone swore theirs was the best. After hearing all of this I decided I needed to re evaluate everything and try each one side by side.
Come Take a Squat or Sit.
I used to have a website that hosted all my recipes, blogs, photos, and videos from my gap year in Senegal. I recently took the website down, so I thought I would post them here. I only have a couple of blogs I wrote back then and this is the last one I wrote. This blog debate squat toilets to westerner toilets. This blog was originally posted on 10/20/2019.
Diary: Berlin, Germany - Reunions and Reflections
Berlin, a city that was once just a name on a map, now holds memories of reuniting with a friend from my Gap Year. The mix of excitement and apprehension filled me as I wondered if our bond would still be as strong. Settling into Berlin, I found that our friendship had endured, but also evolved....
Portugal Within
I was going to lie and write this as if I just left Portugal, but I have always been told that it's best to be truthful. Also, having time and reflecting on Portugal, I would say it was the catalyst for me to start expressing my inner self to the world. There were a lot of firsts in Portugal: traveling entirely by myself, being the person to go and talk to strangers, surfing, making a TikTok, freely dancing at a bar with no care, and many more little things. All of these firsts have impacted who I am today in a meaningful way, and I would not be able to reflect on how it has affected me if I did not write it from today's perspective. Procrastination may have been in my favor this time…
What a Start to My Travels!
I used to have a website that hosted all my recipes, blogs, photos, and videos from my gap year in Senegal. I recently took the website down, so I thought I would post them here. I only have a couple of blogs I wrote back then. Being fully truthful this is not my favorite blog, but if you bored give it a read. This blog was originally posted on 8/25/2019.
Marrakech Express
Marrakech Express was created by the excellent chef Amal Alaoui. She learned how to cook her mother, family and chefs in Marrakech, Morocco. She bringing the untouched traditional Mediterranean cuisine to Atlanta. Almost everyone can grab a bit to eat at Marrakech Express because she offer gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options. And of course everything is Halal.
Bear Cave Brewing
Location: 1201 Mainstreet, Hopkins, MN 55343
I would give the overall rating a 5.2 out of 10. It's not the best, but it is not the worst. There is a lot of different reason why they got this score. I understand that they are new, so I gave it a 5.2 and not a 4.8.
School Abroad + Weekend
Taking a whole semester of classes in 10 weeks is a little difficult, let alone doing half a semester's credit in 5 weeks is out of this world. I am taking 7.5 credits right now, which is definitely kicking my butt.
First full day in Dublin, Ireland
Today I spent the day exploring Ireland. I first checked out of my hotel and then made my way down to The Old Storehouse bar & restaurant. This is where my "free" walking tour started…
Mellow Mushroom
Mellow Mushroom is a popular pizza chain around Atlanta Georgia and was founded by two Georgia Tech students in 1974. They are known for their pizza and their unique atmosphere at each restaurant. I only went to the Mellow Mushroom in downtown Atlanta, so the vibe I felt will be different if you go to another Mellow Mushroom…
