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…

A stay at Villa Copenhagen
Ah yes, Villa Copenhagen. In the spirit of the voting for Travel+Leisure’s world’s best, I think it’s time I give you my review of this fine hotel. Let’s go back to this summer. I packed my bags at Coco Hotel in Vesterbro and made the walk over, deeper in to the Copenhagen city center. It…

These are the hotels I’m recommending, if you’re wondering
Voting for the Travel+Leisure awards has opened. Here are four hotels I will be nominating. It’s only right for me to start this off with the hotel that started it all for me. 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge was the first “nice” hotel I ever stayed at and gave a glimpse into what excellent service meant.…

It was finally time to burn Winter Stroll from Replica by Maison Margiela. Let’s start with the positives. It has an impeccable scent throw. I can…

Squirrel!
I watched the squirrel dart into the street. I knew better than to try and swerve around it as it tried to make a decision. The choice seemed obvious. Head back to the safety of the grass away from the incoming car, but here it was confused. I wonder if that is what I look…

So Starbucks plastic cups take a different journey
All of the plastic cups were found in an incinerator in Alabama. They took the journey from the recycling bin in a Massachusetts Starbucks, not to be used to make new plastic items but to be destroyed and thrown into the waste pile. The article was calling in to question the coffee chain’s practices and…

I guess networking can be fun
How do we make sure people don’t just come in talk to no one and leave? I was hosting an mixer and wanted to avoid a room full of people nursing their drinks and appetizers off on their own. The goal of a mixer is for people to mix and mingle after all. It defeated…
