A Food Lover's Escape to Lima, Peru






Lima isn't just Peru's capital—it's a culinary capital of South America. From ocean-fresh ceviche to exotic craft cocktails, my trip to Lima was a flavorful journey I won’t forget. If you're a foodie, this city belongs at the top of your travel list.

Savoring Every Bite: Each meal in Lima felt like a celebration. I started with classic ceviche topped with seaweed, sweet potato, and cancha corn. It was fresh, citrusy, and bold. At another stop, I had a seafood platter that came with flaming scallops—literally on fire. Every restaurant brought something different to the table, from crispy yucca croquettes to rich chupe de camarones (shrimp chowder).

Where to Sip: Cocktail culture is huge in Lima. I tried a bright, refreshing passion fruit mojito at Viñas de Oro and did a flight of local beers at the Dörcher Tap Room. Whether you prefer pisco sours or artisanal lagers, there’s something to sip everywhere you go.

Ambiance & Aesthetics: Beyond the plates and glasses, Lima wowed me with its vibrant dining scenes. From tree-covered patios to modern rooftop bars, the city knows how to mix atmosphere with appetite.

Final Thoughts: If you love trying new dishes and drinks while soaking in culture, Lima is a dream destination. Pack your appetite—this city will feed your soul.

✈️ London on Miles: A 4-Day Holiday Adventure You’ll Want to Copy There’s something magical about London in December — twinkling lights, Christmas markets, chilly hands wrapped around overpriced cocoa, and history on every corner. I spent 4 unforgettable days exploring the city with my camera, my curiosity, and a suitcase full of sweaters — and guess what? I only used 48,000 Marriott points for the hotel. If you're dreaming of a holiday escape without the luxury price tag, buckle up. This one's for you. 🛬 Day 1: Arrival, Jet Lag & Local Pints After a long overnight flight (with a Lisbon layover!), we arrived in London and headed to Moxy Hotel LHR via Uber (€44.38). Thanks to early check-in , we got a few glorious hours of rest. Later, we wandered out, grabbed dinner, and found ourselves in a charming nearby pub where 4 beers cost us €42.17 — and were worth every drop. 🌉 Day 2: Glass Floors & Holiday Feels After a delicious free hotel breakfast, we hoppe...

 We just got back from a quick but unforgettable 3-day trip to Seattle , and I couldn’t wait to share the highlights! From sipping ginger beer at Pike Place to exploring a Bavarian village in the mountains, this trip was packed with flavor, views, and plenty of local brews. Day 1: Pike Place Market & City Vibes We kicked things off at the iconic Pike Place Market . The energy, the colors, the fresh seafood—there’s nothing like it. We grabbed lunch at Emmett Watson’s Oyster Bar , a cozy, no-frills spot tucked into the market. The oysters were fresh, the chowder was rich, and the atmosphere was classic Seattle. We stopped for coffee at the Original Starbucks , which was surreal and surprisingly worth the wait. Later that evening, we headed to Just the Tap for pizza and an epic beer tasting— 16 beers sampled in total! It was one of the best beer flights we’ve had in a long time.
