I truly believe that the best food in the world is in Thailand. I´ve lived in Paris, Bangkok, Milan, Mexico City, and Wisconsin (lol, that one is a joke), and I would still pick Thailand and Thai food every day over anywhere else. Luckily, I lived in Thailand for three years and had the time to explore all the amazing Thai food. The Bangkok restaurant landscape is constantly changing, so this is based on my past experience, but also my recent visit there. Many of these are local favorites that have stuck around for a long time. Here are all…

It is an often overlooked in Europe because, let’s be fair, it’s not particularly beautiful, and on the surface level, there doesn’t seem like much to see. However, if you know a little bit about the city, you realize there is plenty to see and do, and especially eat. This quick guide is full of my personal recommendations based on my experience there. This guide is good for what to do in Milan for a do…

My Top Recommendations for Where to Eat in Milan, Italy The amount of places there are to eat in Milan is insane if you know where to look and book.

Milan has extensive, amazing places to eat and it’s my favorite activity in Milan. Even writing this made me miss it. Here are some of my favorite places…

A few of the fascinating tid bits about Merida include that it is the safest city in Mexico, it’s original name in Mayan is T’ho, and it’s been heavily influenced and impacted by colonialism throughout history.

Obviously, if you’re in Italy, you must eat pasta. Milan itself is actually less known for pasta and more known for Risotto. However, despite that, it has a significant number of incredible pasta places, and based on my extensive research, these locations have the best pasta in Milan. It is important to know that pasta is very regional. For example, if it’s a Roman pasta restaurant, you’re unlikely to find a pesto pasta because that is from Genoa. Most restaurants will focus on a specific regional Italian cuisine. My personal favorite is Roman cuisine with it’s Cacio e Pepe, Amatriciana,…
