We are so lucky with the life we lead. This year, we spent the full Summer in Vlora, Albania. I didn’t really know what to expect of this country, because it was never on my radar before this year. We rented a nice top floor apartment with a big roof terrace that had a view … Continue reading Summer in Vlora

Moroccan Veggie ‘Tagine’ with couscous (including recipe)
I know, the name of this recipe is a bit misleading, because I didn’t prepare this dish in a tagine, but if you have one, it’s recommended to use it!

When … Continue reading Moroccan Veggie ‘Tagine’ with couscous (including recipe)

Just keep swimming
Since I was young, I have had a love-hate relationship with water.

Five months in, and I’m going to be completely honest with you. We ate meat! Not a lot, only one time, but I feel guilty. Why do I feel like that? It was my own choice to do this. I don’t owe anybody any explanation, but somehow it felt wrong to eat meat again. Let … Continue reading My journey on becoming vegetarian – Part 5

Today I’m going to share some of my experiences with food in other countries. Not any food. No! Food with something extra! Mmmmmmm…. The story begins in Greece. It was 2001. We (my first boyfriend and I) went to Crete. I still remember the name of the town, because it was so weird: Koutouloufari. It … Continue reading Meals with something extra
