Bylgermany November 6, 2016December 30, 2025

Turns out cooking classes are very difficult to find in Bolivia! However, upon looking at all the pieces of paper pinned on the noticeboard in Condor Cafe (highly recommended place to eat!) in Sucre, I came across an offering by La Boca del Sapo (the Toad’s Mouth).

Bylgermany April 15, 2019December 30, 2025

Greenland’s capital, Nuuk, has many festivals that are spaced throughout the year. One of the key events during Winter is Nuuk Multi Kulti – a 4 day celebration of cultural diversity in this small and remote city. During my 2 months in Nuuk, I’d met people from Greenland and Denmark (OK, no surprises there), Mexico,…
