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 […]

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 […]
My Healthy Guide to San Francisco
I’ve lived in San Francisco since August 2015 and so far, I’ve discovered so many great restaurants, cafes, stores and places to visit and wanted to put all my experiences in one handy place instead of them being sprinkled around my Instagram feed. So this is my wellness guide to some of my favorite places […]
Roadtrip Pt. 3 : Big Sur & Bixby Bridge
Our final destination on our trip was the breathtaking Big Sur. I had seen so many gorgeous pictures of the Bixby Bridge and Highway 1 that I just had to get there in person to witness it. It was a foggy day so the hills looked even more magical. I was nervous to drive these […]
Roadtrip Pt. 2 : Carmel-by-the-Sea and 17-Mile Scenic Drive
On our second day of the road trip we got up early, luckily no headache from wine, got some tea and coconut milk mochas to go and headed down south towards Big Sur. We made it to Santa Cruz in little over 2 hours (thank goodness for carpool lanes!), but were there actually so early […]
Roadtrip Pt. 1 Napa Valley
My sister came to visit from Finland a couple of weeks ago and wanted to visit Napa, Santa Cruz and drive along the Highway 1. So we did all that in just two days. First stop was Napa Valley. We arrived pretty late and since most wineries close between 4-5pm we only got to visit […]
Day trip to Bodega Bay
Just a little over an hour away north of San Francisco, in the beautiful rural coast of Sonoma County, is a little town called Bodega Bay. We came here to have lunch for my mother-in-law’s birthday, and saw seals chilling in the sun right by the window of the restaurant. On the drive up […]
SILVERADO RESORT IN NAPA VALLEY
Silverado Resort has become our favorite place to escape during this short time we’ve lived here. As you can see, the grounds are gorgeous, service super-friendly and the rooms feel homey and warm. Both times we’ve stayed here we had a view of the quiet golf course and a huge balcony. The stand-in shower is […]
