Oberammergau,Germany

I loved my visit to the charming town of Oberammergau,known for its 380+ year tradition of performing passion plays every decade.This started when the inhabitants made a vow to do the plays if they were spared from the bubonic plague .
Have you been there before?

The Swiss believe it is cruel for certain sociable pets to not have a companion. In order to keep guinea pigs, rabbits, parakeets, and other pets deemed "social animals" content, you must have more than one. There are even companies that 'rent ' pets to keep your company should its companion pass away , till you can replace it

NSOS-Nicole Stepping Out Sessions (1 May 2021)#2 Interview with Bokyung...

Today I spoke with Bokyung who lives in Madrid, Spain, and is originally from South Korea. She has lived in Spain for the past 8 years and told me that she was always interested in travel for as long as she could remember. She traveled to Australia at the age of 16 to study. She fell in love with Spain after traveling there with her friends. She works and blogs part-time. She has traveled to more than 45 countries (that she can remember ). Bok doesn't have a favorite country and she finds the best in every place she goes to. She considers herself a 'spontaneous traveler', and she doesn't plan too much before she travels. Costa Rica is one of her favorite countries as it has everything with beaches and jungles, nature, and as well as cities. She really enjoyed the delicious food there as well. Madrid is her favorite city in Spain because it has everything that is easily available and it is a lively city. She tries to travel as often as possible and is based in Europe she sometimes takes quick trips to other European countries besides traveling internationally. Bok makes the best of every situation and sees the positive side of everything which I think is a great quality to have as an avid traveler Her top tip for female solo travelers is that women should not feel intimidated/limited because you are a woman. Also, be careful in places that are not safe and try to stay in groups at night in strange places Her platform name is a play on words kimchi(Korean traditional food) + chihuahua (she loves them). She has already booked her next trip so follow her IG to see where she is off to. She is also about to start her blog so keep an eye out for it on her page I thoroughly enjoyed my session with Bokyung, check out her IG https://www.instagram.com/kimchihuahuatravel/ #trendingreels #viralposts #exploretheworld #seetheworld #destinationearth #travelpassion #flyaway #letsflyaway #southafricanblogger #bossbabetribe #workanywhere #digitalnomadlife #bloggerin #faunaiberica #spainsnow #summerinspain #spainin10sec #españateespera #spainsnow #historicplaces #femalesolottravel #gltlove #girlslovetravel #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadgirls #bloggerlifesyle #travelingplanet #travelislife🌏 #passionpassports #passionfortravel

Visit to Emilia's Restaurant

I was really fortunate to have the opportunity of visiting this charming Italian restaurant ,which is located at 2331 Arthur Avenue ,Little Italy in the Bronx (New York City ) 

I met the owner, Nunzio Sapienza who opened the restaurant in 1992.

The restaurant is cosy with a distinct Sicilian ambience 

The interior is decorated with lovely murals on the walls.There is also a bar which is stocked with a range of delicious Italian beverages 

We sampled the food as we sat outside at the back of the restaurant which has a lovely water feature, giving it a tranquil feel 

Appetizers:

Emilia's fresh homemade mozzarella with roasted peppers 

Arancini /Sicilian rice balls served with panelle (chickpea fritters)

Caponata (Sicilian eggplant dish)

Main Course

Osso buco served with rice -lamb shin with Arborio rice

Linguini a la vongole (linguini pasta with clams )

Branzino (steamed fish and vegetables ) -the fish is steamed in special parchment paper making it a delicious and healthy meal 

Rigatoni -homemade pasta served with portobello, shitake and button mushrooms with a madeira wine sauce ,topped with truffle cheese 

Meatballs with shredded cheese 

Dessert 

We were served delicious homemade cannoli with ricotta and cannoli cream 

We also had homemade ricotta cheesecake 

We ended our visit with a lovely cup of cappuccino 

The owner, Nunzio Sapienza and his wife were wonderful hosts ,and did a great job of making us feel comfortable .I can't wait to visit again !
