    Hamlet. As in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Yeah that guy. He has a castle in his home of Denmark. Sort of. Now we know Hamlet wasn’t real but there’s a lot of mystery surrounding Shakespeare. Things weren’t well documented and preserved then. A little ironic with him you know being a writer and all. Some of the…

    I have previously been to The Viking Ship museum in Oslo, Norway so to learn that less than an hour away from Copenhagen there was a museum with 5 Viking ships I was pretty excited to say the least. I hopped a train and headed off. It’s about a mile walk to the museum from…

    Many people love St. Tropez. Before I went I heard from multiple people “You must go to Saint Tropez!” So, on my second visit to the Cote D-Azur region I went to Saint Tropez. After driving out to Saint Tropez, and walking around for a little bit I thought, “Why did I come to Saint…

    Back in 2013 I was in Cannes for the Cannes Film Festival. If you weren’t aware I work in Film and Television as well. Acting comes with some nice perks, like going to Cannes. As glamours as it may sound, the festival is long and the days can be grueling and hectic. Sometimes you just…

    In Copenhagen I took the bus to head over to Grød for breakfast. Grød is a place that serves sweet or savory porridge. In America we call porridge oatmeal and before my stay in Iceland last year, I had no idea oatmeal could be savory. An Italian girl who was my roommate and that I…

    I’ve spoken before about Caffè Matteo as being one of my favorite spots in Cinque Terre. Another favorite spot of mine there is La Scuna Distro’ Corniglia. Both times I stayed in Cinque Terre I stayed in Corniglia. Corniglia is in the middle of Cinque Terre with two villages on either side. It is technically a…

    I’ve had stroopwafel before. But while doing my research I heard about Albert Cuyp Market. I never had a stroopwafel warm before so I thought I’d check it out. The market has many stalls selling everything from cheap household goods, clothing, stuff you can’t think anyone would ever want, produce, and other foods. Original Stroopwafels…

    I am somewhat familiar to the man behind Meyers Bageri, Claus Meyer (who is also a founder of Copenhagen’s Michelin starred Noma), due again to Iceland. Meyer and Gunnar Gíslason, who is the chef behind Dill in Reykjavík, have partnered to bring the New Nordic food scene to New York City back in 2016. A…

    You might be familiar with the name Kon Tiki as the now defunct Weinstein Company released a film by that name in 2012 which is based off of the story of the Kon Tiki. I went to the Kon Tiki museum while in Oslo and on my last day in Iceland watched the film as…
