Cities

Whether it's a Michelin star restaurant or a neighborhood gem, I'm a good food girlie. I often structure my travels around foodie destinations, specifically looking for appealing culinary places.

Buzzing with life, cities are home to endless food, shopping, and architectural delights. Cities are consistently at the top of my list. Because I live in Germany, I mostly write about European cities.
