More interviews of up and coming bloggers here we go. This is a very new blog and a short article but still just as interesting none the less. So check it out if your interested in food or traveling Europe!

Why do you love to travel?

I love to travel because I like to see things for myself. Especially since I don’t like to listen to other people’s perceptions on culture and places, I just want to go to these places to figure it out myself. And I hope to gain a sense of knowledge and fill the gap of ignorance I have of this world.

I love all the images and posts about food in your blog. I dare say I might love it more then you. What has been your favorite meal so far?

My favorite meal thus far has been Hungarian food. Their main ingredient is Paprika and I think it is such a great ingredient because it adds flavor without too much spiciness since I am not a fan of spicy food. However, it is now one of my favorite spices and I do regret not buying some before I left Hungary. And if anyone is in Hungary, go to Gundel. It has the most amazing Hungarian cuisine (specifically the Duck Breast) and you will die from their mashed potatoes. The service was equally as splendid.

Going through your blog I almost immediately your great sense of fashion. Tell me do you get more of a fashion sense from traveling and has traveling influenced your wardrobe at all?

I would say my fashion sense is so weak. But while I am here, I have made sure to take advantage of TopShop since the foreign exchange rate allows TopShop clothing to be cheaper than in America. By the way, clothes are much cheaper in the UK than the food here. Anyhow, aside from that, I also like to take advantage of the strictly Eastern European stores such as Gina Tricot and explore smaller retailers that would have a fashionista from NYC going crazy at the cheap prices! It is very good quality too!

One of the things I have had to overcome traveling is random fears. Tell me do you have any random phobias that have effected you while traveling?

My random phobia would be bathrooms. I feel so uncomfortable using a bathroom I have never used before in new places! It creeps me out! Thus, it has been very hard to stay at a new hotel every weekend! I am still getting used to my dormitory here! Also, dogs run around with no leashes in Eastern Europe! And with my acute fear of animals— this has not been the greatest cities to walk around.

I myself enjoy a good nightlife and from your blog it seems like you have gone out a bit. Has there been any club or venue in particular that you have enjoyed?

Does it really sound like I enjoy good nightlife? I have only been clubbing in my travels around 3x over the past 8 weeks. Other than that, I have been sitting in bars and pubs to chat with good friends while reflecting on our week and future travel plans. But to really answer your question, if you are drunk with good friends, any club is a good time.

Everything is just getting started with this girls travel blog. You should check it out and if you have a Tumblr follow her!
