The Ultimate Oslo City Guide: 21x What to do & Where to eat
It's not the first time I'm visiting Oslo, the capital of Norway. I've been here once before with my family when I was a teenager. Which, let's be honest, is a really long time ago. I remember seeing an old Viking ship, eating lots of waffles and trying cheese with a...
The Ultimate Oslo City Guide: 21x What to do & Where to eat
It's not the first time I'm visiting Oslo, the capital of Norway. I've been here once before with my family when I was a teenager. Which, let's be honest, is a really long time ago. I remember seeing an old Viking ship, eating lots of waffles and trying cheese with a strange brown color. But I don't really remember what the city looks like, if it's big or small, what food the people like (did I actually like the brown cheese?), or what else there is to do apart from the Viking ship museum. I'm...

PLACES TO STAY
Shopping London Style
I wouldn't go as far as calling myself a shopaholic (don't laugh), but I definitely enjoy a good shopping expedition in this city. When I moved to London, the only shopping streets I knew were Oxford Street and Regent Street. And believe me, even a true shopaholic...

It's hard to imagine now, but there was a time when I never drank coffee. I loved the smell of it, but not the taste. Today, I still drink more tea than coffee (I so moved to the right country), but I now love a nice cappuccino in the morning or a strong...
Classy afternoon tea at The Lanesborough
Is there such a thing as too many afternoon teas? This weekend I had two! On Saturday, Selena of Oh, the places we will go managed to get 20 London bloggers in the same room for an afternoon tea at the Mercer Street Hotel in Covent Garden. It was so nice to finally...
Looking for Diagon Alley at Leadenhall Market
I don't remember seeing so many beer drinking city workers in the movie, but this is the place that was Harry Potter's access route to Diagon Alley in the Philosopher's Stone movie. See that blue door? What is an optician today, was the Leaky Cauldron pub in the movie...
Geffrye Museum’s Autumn Garden
After I finished the delicious cinnamon bun at the Fabrique Bakery, I made my way to the Geffrye Museum next door. I'd heard about the museum, but actually didn't know what to expect. Imagine my surprise when I walked into this lovely garden. What a hidden gem! The...
