affogato:
- Italian word for “drowned”
- coffee-based drink/dessert
- whether it is listed as a drink or dessert depends on where you are located in the world/where you are ordering

- variations of coffee and ice cream, flavors and how much, exist throughout the the world
- liqueur can be added/included as well
Burger King Coffee
It’s not gourmet.
It’s not going to get approval from your friendly neighborhood coffee snob.
I doubt it will be on any coffee connoisseur’s list of top picks.
Nevertheless, I feel compelled to let you know that for $5 a month, you can get coffee, each and every day for a month–at Burger King.
While my stomach is churning as I write this post, I actually hate Burger King–ate there once in high school and then never again–I must let you know about this deal . . . you just let me know how it goes though 😉
Best Coffee: US Edition
When I told people that I was going to New Zealand and Australia, one city that kept coming up as a coffee recommendation was Melbourne; apparently, Melbourne is world famous on the coffee scene.
It got me thinking: Which cities were known for the best coffee in the US?
My first instinct and thoughts were:
- Seattle, Washington as its home to Starbucks
- San Francisco, California; New York City, New York; and Los Angeles, California as each of these cities are food powerhouses so they’re probably coffee powerhouses. Also, a simple Google search for great coffee shops often led me to these places, or their surrounding areas.
According to WalletHub, I wasn’t too far off. Top 3, according to their metrics, were:
- New York, New York
- Seattle, Washington
- San Francisco, California
Check out their article for the full Top 10, maybe this list can become a US Travel guide for my next adventure! 😉

Even on vacation, I took some time in the morning to take it easy.
I bought a few items and enjoyed a long morning. I wrote and listened to French news in the background. It seems simple, and maybe a little boring, but it was perfection. A little quiet time, a little work time, before I set out to explore once again . . .

New Zealand & Australia Prelude
I swear I have a job, like a real job . . . well, sort of. Define real job . . . 😉
So, I have been bouncing around Europe, sometimes finding lovely places, sometimes not. I have been trying to keep up with my finds, and other posts, to share some genuinely good stuff. As I’m trying to manage all the pictures, and notes, I am off on another trip!
Upcoming travels and possible posts, soon brought to you by New Zealand and Australia! I will be spending 2 weeks in New Zealand and 3 weeks in Australia, 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for something great to share — I’m sure there will be plenty!
