4 times Germany was the cutest








Mailboxes are for people who have given up in life. Mail HOUSES are the way to go! ADORABLE.

"Trespassing forbidden. Valuable pigstock"....this is a sign that graces our local slaughterhouse. Look at that sassy lil cartoon pig! He is embracing murder like a champ! DELIGHTFUL.




6 euros for a pint of Ben and Jerry's? AWWWWW!


This door. IT HAS A FISH DOORKNOB. And if that wasn't enough, check out the golden old lady head smack in the middle! Discomforting? Yes. But what's cuteness without a little terror?

Saturday in Siena

Image
The medieval Tuscan hill town of Siena is just an hour by train from Florence. Despite its small size, it is home to a bustling university and is one of Italy’s most visited cities.  You don’t really need a map in Siena, as most of the streets slant downward, acting as a natural people-funnel to the main Piazza del Campo.  The outskirts of the city are equally impressive, as the elevated position of Siena grants you a sprawling view of idyllic vineyards and countryside.  I only spent a few hours in the city, had lunch at the first place where I couldn’t hear any English, and headed back to Florence feeling completely satisfied. Slanted Streets Duomo of Siena. Duomo just means the biggest church in any given city Down down down Orange Paint Vineyards and playgrounds Piazza del Campo

Munich: A look beyond the lederhosen

Many stereotypes of German culture stem from the southern city of Munich.  This Bavarian town is home to lederhosen, Oktoberfest, and baked pretzels as big as your beer stein. Much of Munich looks like it was built from gingerbread, and many of its people do in fact wear lederhosen in broad daylight. The new normal.

In Munich, “hallo” is replaced with “Gruss Gott”, which translates roughly to “love to god.” The last thing you would expect from Munich is a dark, graffiti-splattered underbelly. And yet, out of desperation and necessity, it exists. Situated in a random residential area is the Waanda Open Air Festival, which lasts a day and costs a mere 15 euros.   Beauty of Waanda The hippies, artists, and bri...

Christmas in Montreal: Bagels, Street Art, and Bars

Image
Despite my limited time in the largest city of the eastern Canadian  province  of Quebec, I can say, with assurance, that Montreal is very cool.  Abundant in the bold and the colorful, Montreal is a city in which even the supermarkets are visually stunning. Behold this  brick of various nut milks which in my world, doubles as a Pop Art installation. If you are feeling peckish, head to the famed St-Viateur Bagel Shop, which has been serving loyal locals slightly sweet, freshly baked bagels for over 25 years.   To avoid clumsily juggling your delicious purchase on the street, you can head next door to a white-walled coffee shop known as The Standard Mile End, and take a seat.   Montreal is great for just walking around and looking at people. A prime location for soaking in the artistic side of the city is the charming Rue Duluth.  Daily life becomes brighter, sweeter, and better when guided forward b...
