I’m excited to share my first post for a new series on Lattes & Runways: Recipes from the Road. In this series, I’ll take you into the Airbnb kitchens we find ourselves in and the meals we make in them. I’ve found fairly little information about this topic around the travel community, and I’m hoping …
Summary // Across from the bar at Boundless Mezcal Cafe, you’ll find a long communal table. Now let me tell you: I have a soft spot for communal seating in coffee shops. There’s something about a cup of coffee that brings people together, and it’s that sense of comradery that I really notice when we’re …
Summary // After Belle married the Beast, they discovered their love of traveling and spent a month in South America, Belle fell in love with a cozy bookshop in the heart of Cartagena’s Old City. That book shop was called Abaco Libros y Cafe, and while they don’t sell Macarons, she was happy to read a …
Summary // Cafe Jesus Martin is a coffee shop that stands out in a region dominated by coffee growers but lacks coffee drinkers. Salento is right in the heart of Colombia’s coffee triangle and there are coffee fincas (farms) for miles in nearly every direction filling a good portion of west-central Colombia. And while you’d …

Summary // We immediately felt at home at Pergamino, and we keep making our way back to it. With a whole menu section devoted to cold brew varieties and fabulous iced lattes served on an open air patio, there’s little not to love. The cafe is full of people like us, travelers on their laptops, …
Summary // I heard about Cafe Velvet from a post by The Sweetest Way. The cafe is located just across the street from Pergamino, where we’d just been the day before. When we arrived, there was only one other person in the cafe, and we felt a little awkward as we ordered from the register …
Medellin was our first city in South America and a city that was easy to love. Even though we were far from home and didn’t speak the language, their fantastic coffee scene made us feel like we belonged. No matter where you go in the world, the smell of coffee and sound of steaming milk …
I am currently living with the least amount of stuff that I’ve ever had in my entire life, and yet I know that I currently have more stuff than I will have for the next 12 months of my life. And I love it. I never thought I would be the one to say that. …
