Hey! it’s me, Maririn, and I’m the biggest foodie EVER, no joke. Whether I’m stressed from school work or just bored, I always look to something yummy for a little boost of dopamine. Being a college kid with 3 part-time jobs, time isn’t something I have much of, but I always look for a quick coffee and treat whenever I can!
Since eating isn’t really a hobby, and given the amount of money and time I spend in cafes, I figured I would mash my cravings with my love for creative writing and photography!! Plus, Kyoto is riddled with a bunch of cafes, most of which are literally holes in a wall, but I can’t help but feel like each one has its own personality and story that I just have to share with the world. (please ignore how cheesy that sounds)
Anyway, I started this journey at the end of 2021, right around the middle of December, with my favorite platform: Instagram, mostly because I feel comfortable and familiar with it. But I felt like I could do more so I turned to blogging where I can let more of my writing out and post more picture, since Instagram is limited to 10 pics per post. I’m still new to word-press and the world of blogging so my first couple posts will be more experimental than anything, but I hope everyone can share a cup of tea with me on my journey to find Kyoto’s quirky cafes/restaurants!!
Happy Eating!
