For two and some years we’ve been living in a little (population 80 000) island of Alameda off the San Francisco Bay. We’re just a skip and a hop away from the city of San Francisco, yet when you enter the island, either through the tunnel, bridge or the ferry, you come to a place […]

Butcher’s Daughter in Venice
One more restaurant recommendation from our Thanksgiving trip to L.A. This was just too cute not to be featured. I’ve been to Butcher’s Daughter in NYC, but this location in Abbott Kinney Boulevard in Venice is just a whole other ballgame. It is stunning! L.A. weather vs. NYC weather helps too, I guess. I met […]
Rose Cafe in Venice, CA
Gosh, where does the time fly?!! It’s been a month since our trip to Los Angeles and I haven’t even posted any delicious details yet. So let’s start with Rose Cafe that I found just a quick walk away from our hotel in Venice Beach. I look up Yelp reviews and sometimes Instagram photos to […]
With Love from Venice Beach
Some holidays are approaching and some of them have already passed so it’s about time to show you the beauty of Los Angeles, specifically Venice Beach, where we spent all our time during our little Thanksgiving break trip. I must admit I haven’t experienced L.A. beyond Venice and Santa Monica so my knowledge is based […]
How to eat Healthy and Vegan in SF Financial District
I’ve been calling San Francisco’s Financial District my work hood for a few months now and thought it would be fun to feature some of my favorite places around here. It will be very food-oriented tour since I’m a foodie and therefore this is more of a list of eateries I tend to eat at […]
Memorial Day Weekend in Lake Tahoe

KUUMA Cafe (Helsinki)
I’ve been extremely impressed by the cafe scene here in Helsinki. It honestly beats both NYC and San Francisco. Yes, I said it. There are so many amazing options all within short walking distance, or a tram/subway ride away. Besides just coffee and tea, they all serve amazing sweet cakes (and raw vegan cakes!), pastries […]
Holidays in Finland
Few days ago I arrived to Finland after 16+ hours of traveling that started from Oakland, California. The first leg of the flight (10 hrs) went quite smooth. It was completely full flight and I was super uncomfortable from the moment I sat down (have I mentioned that I absolutely hate flying). After watching The […]
