A few things move me to tears of happiness and one of them is being in a place where you are overcome with awe of natural beauty. I had the opportunity to visit Norway after my time in Helsinki. High on my list was to see the well known Norwegian Fjords.Wanting to visit the Fjords…

Expectations when travelling can be more of a curse than a blessing. Especially if you’ve had to travel all the way to the other side of the world.

You may know the age old adage, the more butter the better it tastes. This is certainly true for the croissant. Crispy on the outside and a healthy layering taste of butter on the inside makes the perfect accompaniment to coffee.I have to admit, I never really truly tasted a proper croissant until I went…
