I went into it not knowing too much of what to expect and left with a lot of learning. I will have deeper reflections in the…

Just a quick Vegas restaurant review
While I could have very easily come to Vegas to gamble away my savings, instead I took a chance on the restaurant scene. Here are two of the restaurants I visited while in town. With Love Always With Love Always is an assuming burger joint. That’s a lie. You certainly know something is up…

Eating at Ancestrale in Copenhagen
Digitally stalking the city of Copenhagen on Google maps, I noticed a restaurant with a name that caught my eye. Ancestrale. It was just a short walk from where I was staying, so I made my way over. The interior was very casual. The wait staff shuffled around in shorts and sneakers. We relied solely…
