    I have heard many a horror story about renting cars in Iceland thanks to a lot of forum posts I have read. On top of that I’ve never rented a car in any foreign country. But I’m not much a fan of planned tours and tour buses and to really experience all that Iceland has…

    Place Sainte-Catherine 50, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgium I totally dig Croquettes and I totally dig shrimp. So when I read online about Noordzee Mer du Nord and their shrimp croquettes I knew I’d be taking a trip there. First off their menu goes far beyond shrimp croquettes and it seems everyone loves them as they were…

    874 State St New Haven, CT 06511 So we all know pizza comes from Italy, more specifically Napoli. But here in America we have some well known pizza hubs, New York City (and for whatever reason) Chicago deep dish. But if you’ve watched any travel channel or any cooking channels (and I assume if you…

    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…

    Written in 2016 So Carlo is from Jersey. He got famous with his show The Cake Boss. He opened up a store front in Times Square New York City. The line is always really long. But today I had two hours to kill near Times Square and was in the mood for sweets. So I…

    1000 Shore Rd, Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107 For a brief moment I could have believed I was in Iceland (it certainly was cold enough) if it wasn’t for the trees. Just a short drive from Portland is  Fort Williams Park. The park beautiful under a blanket of snow. There’s a great vantage point of the…

    Henrik Ibsen is one of my favorite playwrights. He’s written A Doll’s House, Hedda Gabbler, An Enemy of the People (my favorite) which is still quite relevant today among many others. I’d say if you are not familiar with his work please read An Enemy of the People. The Ibsen Museum in Oslo is across…
