Hungry for Hungary: My Favorite Dish

Going to Budapest this past summer was the best decision ever, because I fell in love with Hungary’s national dish: goulash. This hearty stew isĀ full of spices [mainly paprika], vegetables, slices of tender meat, and Hungarian dumplings, which makes it the poster-child for comfort food in Europe.

Travel: Roaming to Romania

Despite Eastern European countries having a bad reputation because of their history of war and economic struggles, I think they are some of the coolest countries to visit.
