I don’t get to travel as much as I used to, but all travel posts go here!
When I was looking for food places close to our hotel in Bled, I came across a location called “Wine Tasting Bled.” Since we only didn’t have that many free days in Slovenia, and because the wine tasting started at 8:30, which was doable for some of the weeknights, I really, really wanted to try… Read More My Experience @ Wine Tasting Bled
I first heard about free walking tours from the Edinburgh Free Walking Tour! And then I heard about the Nice one (which I have not yet finished), so when I knew I had about two half-days in Ljubljana, I immediately went to check if there was a free walking tour… and there was! There are… Read More Tour Review: Ljubljana Free Walking Tour
I only had about a day and a half in Ljubljana, but that was enough for two excellent meals and a tour (review of the tour coming soon). And since I’m still writing the next sustainabiliTEA post, I wanted to just talk about the really good food that I had there! Monstera Bistro This was… Read More Two Food Recommendations for Ljubljana
So, we went back to Grasse the next day, just so that we wouldn’t waste our money. The Fragonard Fabrique des Fleurs factory is outside the city of Grasse, roughly 2.8km from the Fragonard factory within Grasse. It’s located downhill, which makes for an easy 30 min walk to the factory but a harder walk back… Read More Grasse Trip #2: Attending a Perfume Workshop conducted in French!
I really, really did not intend to go to Grasse two days in a row. But things happened and here we are. But before I go into why I went to Grasse twice in a row, let’s go back to the start. Because my class schedule changes every week, there are times where I have… Read More Grasse Trip #1: Exploring the Town + A Mistake
Last Saturday, I decided to head to Saint Paul de Vence with my roommate and two other friends. I’ve been looking for day trips from Nice and Saint Paul de Vence is not only accessible by bus, but it also looks absolutely beautiful! We left at a reasonable time of 9:45 from Parc Phoenix, and… Read More My Day Trip to Saint Paul de Vence
Yesterday, one of my classmates dropped a link in our WhatsApp group about this weekend being designated European Heritage Days (Journées Européennes du Patrimoine). Basically, there are a few special small exhibitions and tours happening all over Nice, and I assume the rest of Europe. Although my French is currently only good enough to sometimes… Read More European Heritage Days + Nice’s Festival of Books
I’m not sure if you’re sick of the France posts (because you know, this is still technically a book and tea blog), but my MBA cohort and I recently went on a team-building trip to Île Saint-Honorat, an island just off Cannes, and I really wanted to document my experience for the future. île Saint-Honorat… Read More Team Building Trip to Île Saint-Honorat
A friend from my MBA course invited me to join her on a day trip to Eze and since I’ve never been there, I happily accepted! Eze is actually pretty accessible from Nice. There is a bus stop near Garibaldi station where you can board bus 82 to Eze village; this bus is run by… Read More Day Trip to Eze + Walking Nietzsche’s Path
(whispering to you: To be very accurate, the title of this post should be “First Five Days in Nice, France” but I wanted to alliterate as much as possible) Hello everyone! I’ve been pretty absent from this blog because I’ve been busy preparing an international move! Today is day 5 since I’ve arrived (starting from… Read More First Five Days in France
