Bom dia Lisbon! It is a beautiful first day in Lisbon, and I am so excited to wander this city! Arriving at my hostel, my host recommended me some places to visit on my first day, primarily Barrio Alto, Alfama and Baxia (“downtown”). So, after taking a quick shower (because I haven’t showered for a full […]
Travelling Solo for Two Weeks in Portugal
Since I first travelled solo, I’ve resolved to travel to a new destination every new year. It was supposed to be an annual getaway from the general banality of Calgary life. However, with my lack of funds (and job), I’ve postponed any travel plans for the past two years. So, I’m very excited to spend […]
Vegan Chocolate Cake with Matcha Coconut Frosting
This has got to be my favourite cake combination: vegan chocolate cake with matcha coconut frosting! While chocolate by itself is delicious, the addition of matcha coconut frosting just takes it to the next level. There’s an amazing play between bitterness and sweetness in your palate as you eat it! The vegan chocolate cake is […]

Delicious Dinner at Via Cibo 14th Street

When we arrived, […]

All-Hype Burgers at Flipp’n Burgers Kensington
Flipp’n Burgers Kensington had so much hype but my visit was pretty mediocre. I’ve heard so much about this place through people and social media before so it’s always been in my food bucket list in Calgary. Plus, they are very accommodating to vegans & vegetarians in Calgary with their veggie burgers. So, I decided […]
