This candy store-like city is so alive and so colorful! You can enjoy wandering local markets, bird watching in Udawattekele Sanctuary, chilling out peacefully by Kandy Lake, and, of course, Ceylon tea! :))) The Temple of the Tooth is a must go. They have Buddha's SWEET tooth!

Follow the ale trail around the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle to try all the new microbrews.

The south slope of Coquitlam was populated in the early 1900s by French Canadian mill workers, on unceded First Nations land. Many street names in the neighbourhood reflect the vibrant Francophone community that grew around Fraser Mills which closed in 2001. "Festival du Bois" is an annual local celebration of Maillardville's heritage.

Take a stroll through this quaint artsy foodie town. It's a Grape time!

In spring/summer 2015 I spent two happy months in Berlin, in Dieffenbachstraße, Kreuzberg. This map illustrates the neighborhood I´ve lived in where I point out some cool places. I also recommend to explore Neukölln, another young lively modern neighborhood full of interesting bars and cafes. I LOVE BERLIN !!

My cousin Sarah is the type of dinner party guest who would stop at all six neighborhood ice cream joints to bring you a Capitol Hill ice cream tasting buffet! She has more fun & tasty recommendations for you at SeattleBySarah.com and one time she made an entire dress out of sprinkles and clear tape.
