Cologne is noted as being the fourth most populous city in Germany, but when walking the streets, I didn’t feel like I was in a big city. There was a casual, yet intimate feeling voided of pretentiousness with a focused dedication to the past while advancing into the future. Continue reading Travel: Cologne Germany (Part 2)
Cologne or Köln, as it is called by the natives, is a place of resilience, high culture and is known as the economic capital of Rhineland. Continue reading Travel: Cologne Germany (Part 1)
Katsuya by Starck Location: Yas Mall After walking around the Louvre Abu Dhabi, I found myself visiting the Yas Mall. It was a tempting thing to do as I enjoy going to malls, especially in the middle east. While there, I stumbled upon a restaurant called Katsuya. Katsuya is the brainchild of master chef Katsuya Uechi. If his name sounds familiar, that is because he … Continue reading Travel for Food: Abu Dhabi
This concludes my Travel for Food Dubai edition. As I mentioned in part 1 there are more restaurants in Dubai than one can count! Since I often spend time in Dubai I am sure there will be another Travel for Food blog that will feature other hot spots in Dubai. Continue reading Travel for Food: Dubai (Part 2)
There are more restaurants in Dubai than one can count! It’s exhausting thinking of all the genres of culinary choices in such a small place. You can go from eating Persian food to Italian, Greek, American, Lebanese, or African. There is a wide selection for anyone’s budget and taste. For me, it is super easy to decide what kind of food I want as seafood … Continue reading Travel for Food: Dubai (Part 1)
Paris, oh, Paris!
While I felt like I only got a morsel size experience, it did enough to make me understand why Paris is often listed on so many of our must-visit list. Presently I can say that I am a Paris convert and will never pass up another opportunity to visit this place. I could feel so many things in this city, the romanticism, frustration, passion, overwhelming air, beauty, suffering, and, more importantly, the life that moves it forward. Continue reading Travel: 48 Hours in Paris

I lived in Kuwait because I took a job there and moved to an area known as Abul Halifa in 2016 then moved to Mangaf in 2017. Before going to this country, I had only ever been to Dubai and four military bases in Kuwait. Only seeing Dubai and hearing the stories of the fabulous consumption of middle-eastern people, I imagine Kuwait would look precisely … Continue reading Travel: Things You Can Do Without While Living in Kuwait
This year one of my biggest get-aways was to Argentina back in October. I planned and put a lot of effort into that trip and it was everything I wanted it to be. Each year I try to take 2 short trips, lasting no more than 20 days each, then my third trip is generally a 30-day break I take at the end of my … Continue reading Travel: Where to Go Next?
I don’t know how I came across this channel, but I am glad I did. I am talking about the School of Affluence by Anna Bey. Yes, I know there are many other reviews about her millionaire matchmaking skills, her blog called Jetsetbabe, accusations of being a gold-digger and anti-feminism, and while some might even call her controversial, I call her intriguing.

J’Ouvert is the most electric street party that I have ever attended. Continue reading Tales: J’Ouvert (Caribbean)
While I would like to say that the entire trip was terrific, I would be 100% lying if I did. It was a learning experience, and while I wish I had the same experience as the “Goats on the Road” had in Argentina, I am still happy to have crossed this trip off my list.
