Wanderlust in Japan: Two Weeks of Beauty, Flavor, and History

European trips feel almost common at this point, so for me Japan was like a break from the known and a dive into the unknown. What you are about to read bellow is my two-week-adventure in Japan and more particularly, in Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, … Continue reading Wanderlust in Japan: Two Weeks of Beauty, Flavor, and History

Burger Fest 2024: The Burger Lover’s Dream Event

I love a good juicy burger as much as the next person and I always silently aim to find the right one for me. I have gone from ones with fried eggs inside to ones with pickles or black bread on top and bottom, just for the sake of something unique. I am all in for a twisted burger, because I like to indulge myself … Continue reading Burger Fest 2024: The Burger Lover’s Dream Event

From Madrid to Seville: My Spanish Adventure Unfolds

While, for most people, summer means island hopping, endless blue and dinner by the sea – I opted for a different scene for my summer vacations this year. Spain in known for many things, but for a summer destination (during August no less), it is most definitely not. Nonetheless, we decided that for some reason this summer was ideal for my partner and me to … Continue reading From Madrid to Seville: My Spanish Adventure Unfolds

Brunching @ Acera, The Brunch Project

Brunch has become an important part of everybody’s day.

I’m not judging the existence of brunch, trust me, I’m actually quite glad it exists because I love to snack throughout … Continue reading Brunching @ Acera, The Brunch Project

The “Indoors” Canteen, Γαλιάντρα

There are certain Greek words that you just can’t translate. Some are very rich in meaning; others simply don’t exist in english and others simply sound much better in Greek. Γαλιάντρα (pronounced ga-lee-ah-ndra) is a word that when you translate it loses part of the whole sense of it along with its brand name. In greek it’s a specific kind of bird, while in slang … Continue reading The “Indoors” Canteen, Γαλιάντρα

Eat It Like The Italians – Mario&Luigi The Eatalians

Like the genre of books I’m reading, my appetite has its mood swings. One whole week I would be craving all kinds of traditional Greek food and the other I would be all about Japanese or Italian or whatever foreign cuisine I would be tasting at the time. I’m kind of going with the flow of my stomach on that area. Italian is one of … Continue reading Eat It Like The Italians – Mario&Luigi The Eatalians

El Nacho – Eating Mexican Style

When all you’ve ever wanted in this life is to travel the world and taste life quite literally, but can’t due to local restrictions and the fear of pandemic, you have to be resourceful. It’s not the right time for me to start traveling just yet, although I am not saying no to small escapes (like Arachova). However, I still am the kind of person … Continue reading El Nacho – Eating Mexican Style

The Burger Joint – Burgers Grilled Right

Everybody’s a food lover… You can’t survive without food. They say you can survive without junk food – but, I beg to disagree. If you can’t have, at least, one day of the week when you can eat whatever junk food you want then what’s the point in living? I understand that some people are very into healthy diet and believe in balanced diets, but … Continue reading The Burger Joint – Burgers Grilled Right
