Today I went and sat in this cafe I love -it does Italian pastries and coffee and sandwiches and I go there sometimes when I feel like transporting myself to Europe. It reminded me of another way I like to "travel" and thought I'd share it here too :) Whenever I feel a bit frustrated about not being on a travel adventure I try and do something to give me a tiny taste of it at least. I do some research and find the most authentic place to eat Italian or French or Thai or wherever it is I want to "return" to or choose the cuisine of somewhere I haven't been yet and try there. Or cook a meal from that place and invite people over. Obviously not as good as the real thing, but does something wonderful for me anyways :)

Love this a lot and try to do this as much as I possibly can. It's crazy what a change of scenery can do for you. There's something beautiful about returning to much loved places and spaces but equally as valuable to explore somewhere new, both alone and with others along for the ride :)

I sometimes just choose to drive to a different suburb to get a coffee instead of my local and I love that feeling, driving a new route, discovering beautiful places. Highly recommend.
