I am addicted to coffee…I know it , I haven’t ever fought it. I feel that coffee and writing go hand in hand and coffee also has some benefits. Plus, with my low blood pressure even my doctor agrees with me drinking coffee.

Of course, taking photos of coffee I had when I travel is a hobby of mine, too. And so is tasting various types of coffee (but I do stay away from sugar most of the times).

London, UK: I had to have coffee at Starbucks (granted, we didn’t have Starbucks in Romania when I took this photo, March 2011).

Athens, Greece: cafe late with a friend , in a taverna. Greek coffee (the traditional one) is not a favorite of mine.

Athens, Greece: cafe frape, the staple coffee during summer. Well, I had it in March but the weather was magnificent!

Vieste, Italy: I continue to say that the best cappuccino I had was in Italy and cannot decide between Rome and Vieste.

Arad, Romania: ah, it’s a hit or miss here. We had some places with excellent coffee. Nowadays I am sticking to tea (especially over winter).

Rome, Italy: as I’ve said above, best.Cappuccino.EVER. Fondi’s Bar.

Budapest, Hungary: I have yet to have a bad coffee in Budapest. This photo was taken at Hard Rock Cafe.

Moneasa, Romania: Monday morning in Moneasa and I needed my coffee fix. Cheap and pretty good. Could use some improvement though.
