Chocolate and Cheese

Hello everyone and welcome to the chronicles of my European adventures.

 

My name is Amanda and I am a 20 year old junior in college who is off to spend a semester in the wonderful city of Geneva, Switzerland. I come from a big Italian family so naturally I love to eat. To me, food is an important aspect to truly experience a culture such as having a Fenway Frank at a Redsox's baseball game or eating clam strips on the beach. I was lucky and grew up surrounded by delicious italian cooking and classic New England Seafood. Now all I want to do explore the different meals the world has to offer. 

 

There are two things I cannot live without: Chocolate and Cheese. It's no secret that girls love chocolate and I am no exception. So my goal is try a chocolate dish or two in every city I visit. I wish I could eat chocolate for every meal but my Mom told me I can't. Instead I'll settle for cheese on all my other meals.

 

I am fortunate enough to grow up in New England where outdoor activities are in the daily planner. Thus, I plan to hike my way through the alps and venture my way through the side streets of some of the most amazing cities on the planet. This will give me the excuse to tell myself it's okay to have a diet consisting of chocolate and cheese. 

 

These are the stories of my travels and life eating abroad. I hope y'all enjoy it as much as I enjoy truffels and fondu.
