A travel & food blog from Andi Fisher - Merry musings of a feisty food slash globe-trotting wannabe Frenchie!
I want to wish each and everyone of you a very Happy New Year. I hope 2012 was what you wanted it to be. If not, we get to try all over again in 2013! 2012 by the numbers: Number of places I traveled to: 25 (never enough!) Photos taken: 11,725 that doesn’t include Instagram [...]
I am taking a little bloggy break for the holidays, back in a few days!
Last year Mr. Misadventures and I spent Christmas in Key West. And while I didn’t love Key West overall (although the color of the ocean there has captured my heart forever) there were aspects of it that I did enjoy. One thing that I found really amusing were the decorations. It just seems odd to [...]
My wandering ways? My Dad’s fault. Sure, it was a whole family affair, as I mentioned last month on Mother’s Day, but the reason I had the amazing childhood that I had, one that resulted in my gypsy soul, is my Dad’s career. I am not sure he was thinking about all the travel and [...]
I am not one of those round-the-world travelers taking months or years to go from place to place (I admire those guys and would love to do it). Nor am I a full-time traveler (although sometimes it feels like it). But I left home at eighteen seeking an adventurous adult life and I definitely cannot [...]
If you check out the origins of April Fool’s Day on Wikipedia there are several disputed origins, but being a devoted francophile, I like the French one the best…bien sûr! The story goes that in 1564 King Charles the XIV changed the calendar to start on January 1st instead of April 1st. Without the telegram, [...]
Admittedly, my macaron adventures have actually been more like misadventures, but it is Macaron Day so in honor of the fact that this little cookie is quintessentially French and many of my francophile friends adore them, I thought I would share some macaron-related posts and news. If you are in Paris, make sure to participate [...]
These are 7 of the over 200 Easter eggs stashed all over London in an old fashioned Easter egg hunt. I am not “playing” but I can’t help noticing them, as the top 4 are on my short 20 minute walk between my hotel and my office. And the bottom 3 I bumped into last [...]
Today is Saint Valentine’s Day! In Catalonia were I am from it is not such a big deal. Saint George’s legend takes all the attention when it comes to romance here. Just for your information, it is much more celebrated around the Anglophone countries. However for today I am here to talk about this day [...]
It started innocently enough with this addition to my desk (don’t mind the wrapping paper all around it, imagine just hanging from my lamp on a “normal” desk). I bought it to counteract the Christmas decorations that my cubicle neighbor had put up in her cubicle. It was my small statement about my feelings on [...]
Bonjour!
