What to do in Hanoi: Food Trip

We are going to end this special Hanoi series with some photos of the food we enjoyed and a few snaps of the places where we ate. There are far too many choices and too many ways to do a food trip here. You can book a tour but you can also research on your [...] Read More

Where to Stay in Hanoi: Hotel de l’Opera

One of the best things about our trip to Hanoi was our hotel. We stayed at the Hotel de l’Opera. While it’s a bit of a given that we would love it since we got to stay at the Grand Suite with the Opera House View, their standard rooms are just as elegant and cozy. [...] Read More

Postcards from Hanoi

Vietnam has so much to offer and the country has been doing a lot of work in successfully promoting the different tourist destinations. Hanoi is one of our favorite stops especially during the cold season because that’s the one that we don’t have here at home. We like the simplicity of the place, the mostly [...] Read More

We are wrapping up our Porto series with some of our favorite snapshots that features the everyday scenes in this wonderful city that we embraced dearly for three, what very seemed to be, short days. Read More

Porto Eats: Lameiras Churrasqueira

Our most favorite of all our meals was at Lameiras. We loved the energy of the place and the old school feel of it - from the handwritten tally of our orders to the noticeably family style of service. It was so cheap that we ended up ordering too much. Each plate was full to [...] Read More

Porto Eats: Élebê

For our only dinner splurge in Porto, we picked Élebê and it sure was a good choice. It was the best restaurant to have some quiet time and enjoy elevated local food. We took our time and for the first time in this trip finally slowed down a bit as we took little sips from [...] Read More

Porto Eats: Lareira

Away from the river and into the historic streets of this beautiful city, we found this perfect place to hang out with the most friendly staff. Best of all, everything was affordable. We don’t speak the local language but it was still a treat to listen to the chattering around us. At Lareira, we pictured [...] Read More
