A: I've always been drawn to aesthetically beautiful cafés—just stepping into one instantly lis my mood. Whether it's studying, working, catching up with friends, or enjoying a coffee date with my husband, coffee shops have always been my happy place. No matter where I travel, I'm always on the lookout for charming cafés with not only stunning interiors, but also great coffee. My content creation journey, however, truly took off during my time as a stay-at-home mom. Exploring new coffee shops became a special ritual for me and my little one, and that's when I started sharing my discoveries. What began as a personal passion soon turned into a way to connect with others who love cozy, inviting spaces as much as I do.
