I traveled to Amsterdam on a mission to find the best cardamom buns, coffeeshops, and FOOD--I did my research so you don't have to. All coffee spots serve oat milk for the nondairy friends (can be hard to find in Europe). Such a beautiful city with endless gems like the ones below~

Chinatown is my favorite and most-frequented region of the ENTIRE city of New York, where you can find full meals for $5. Here's where you should be eating:

Chengdu, China has some of the best food and flavors in the entire world. So rich with culture, history, street food, and more, that you can only find a fraction of the in the US. It should be a bucket list food city, and here's where to go for specialty Chengdu eats that you'll only find in the city itself.

Where to find New York City's best matcha - spots that remind me of the matcha I've had in Japan, Korea, and China. Strong, rich, high quality matcha--the kind with that beautiful deep green color, not pale and milky. Includes highly-ranked spots I place in the more “mellow” category if you're just getting into matcha or prefer something lighter in flavor :)
