A lot has changed since I moved from Johannesburg to Cape Town (8 years ago!? Whaaaaat...) For one, my life is ruled by the whims of the wind, and second, I've become a coffee snob. Before the big move, the only coffee I knew was the instant variety. I thought that's how coffee was made, and I had never seen a pour-over, a French press, or a Moka pot.

Within the tri-city, I always used to like Sopot the most – especially because of the many cool cafés and bars, that create a beautiful atmosphere. But lately, I am starting to see more and more charm, potential and coolness in the old town of Gdansk. Within the past years, the old town developed from a rather touristy area into a hip hotspot, with loads of local designer stores, vegan restaurants and trendy cafés in the many small alleys offside the famous "long street." The old town of Gdansk is turning into the place-to-be not only for travelers but also for locals and students, creating a beautiful melting pot of alternative and openminded people. And as a coffee lover, I am always on the hunt for good coffee in beautiful surroundings with authentic vibes.
