One of my favorite Italian restaurants in Singapore during the time I lived there was DaPaolo. They have multiple locations, including Holland Village and a beautiful, black & white colonial building in Rochester. On our last return visit to Singapore, we picked the DaPaolo on Club Street for an evening out – and it was […]
During our visit to Manila’s City of Dreams, we stayed at the Hyatt Manila hotel and were looking for a place to start off the evening with cocktails. The perfect spot in a relaxed setting with a chance to watch the sunset is the Wave bar and restaurant on the rooftop. Read my review to
For a recent Manila “staycation” we chose the new Hyatt Manila at the City of Dreams, a new gambling and entertainment development near the Manila Bay. After spending the weekend, I was wondering how much of a daytrip destination the City of Dreams can be for a couple or a family, enjoying everything it has
The Wawel Royal Castle of Krakow is one of the most impressive sights in the city with a rich story of history and a number of museums within its walls. Whether you just go for a walk or a longer exploration, it’s well worth a visit and should be on your list!
Krakow has a plethora of restaurants all over the Old Town, so you are spoiled for choices. I sometimes pick restaurants purely for the location, so that I can take in the scenery or watch the crowds, and sometimes for the food. Morela falls into the latter category and did not disappoint!

I finally made it back to my favorite Thai restaurant in Bangkok, Soul Food Mahanakorn! You can find great Thai food anywhere in Bangkok, the City of Angels, from street food and food courts to glizzy restaurants. Soul Food offers a great take on favorite Thai dishes, has an interesting cocktail list to go with
On my first visit to Warsaw, I picked my first dinner restaurant based on its location – when I travel solo, I like to people watch in a busy spot while having a meal and the Kawiarnia Cava hit the spot with its location on busy Nowy Swiat and Foksal. Lots of people stroll along
My favorite part of Warsaw when I visited during my Baltic Explorer tour is the Old Town: It has been beautifully restored from the impressive Royal Castle to the little cobblestoned alleys of the old quarter and the remainder of the fortifications and walls! Add lots of cafes and restaurants with outdoor seating and you
After a leisurely walk through Vilnius’ old town, I had picked the Lithuanian National Museum as my next sight to see for the day. I love to see and hear the history of a country from their own perspective and the museum came recommended by the lady at the tourist office as one of the
On my first night in Hua Hin, I didn’t want to make the trip from the Amari Hotel into town and was looking for dinner options in walking distance. When my plans to spend the evening at the Cicada market faltered (it’s closed on weeknights), I found a little pizzeria on the side of the
If you are in Bangkok, the City of Angels, and need a break from the hustle of the big city, you have a few choices. Hua Hin is the historic beach resort of the Thai Royal family and a popular family destination for a weekend away or some time on the beach without having to
