    29 Ceres St Portsmouth, NH 03801 I was in Portsmouth, New Hampshire for New Years Eve 2017/2018 for L’s first New Years. It was my first time in Portsmouth and I headed to The Black Trumpet for an earlier dinner on a recommendation. I had the mezze plate special which was delish. I then order…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    The fries were meh 43 Middle St, Portland, ME 04101 Totally not worth it. French fries and a milkshake $18+? No thanks also, I’ve had the fries in Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Belgium and I need to say Duckfat, leave your Belgian fries to the Belgians please. I’d be totally okay if you became a milkshake…

    7 Congress Square, Portland, ME 04101 It is quite small. You can definitely get through the whole museum in an afternoon or less. They do have a couple of Robert Indiana’s, Monet’s, and Renoir’s pieces which I found thoroughly enjoyable. They get some traveling exhibits and show documentaries as well. Their cafe is so so…
