What is the Beauty of Food, Outdoor Seating, and Traveling?

​Do you feel frustrated, reckless, and anxious when dealing with setbacks? If so, you may consider finding someone to talk to, reading a book, or enjoying a cup of black coffee. The reality is that failure is an inevitable part of life's journey. However, the good news is that success and failure are both on the same path. 

It's not always necessary to find a solution to every problem right away. Why not step back a little, clear your mind, and enjoy the world around you? Take a moment to appreciate the gentle breeze, beautiful sunshine, and delicious food at an outdoor seating area. There are always good things around us if we take the time to notice them.

Aegean Sea, Seaside Restaurant, White and Blue
​

I love the feeling of openness that comes from being by the sea and sky. Santorini Island in Greece is one of the most romantic places on earth, and it's great to enjoy the sunshine while sitting outdoors along the Aegean seaside. Speaking of which, what's the difference between the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, you may wonder?  
​
The Aegean Sea is a part of the Mediterranean Sea, but it's often referred to by a more romantic name by the Greeks. Everywhere in Santorini, you'll find a combination of pure white and bright blue - all the buildings are painted white with blue rooftops, and even the tables and seats of the seaside cafes are white and blue. While Greek food isn't exactly to my taste, as it's often fried or barbequed and served with a large bunch of vegetables filled with olive oil, it hardly matters when the scenery is so striking.

Refreshment of Tea break at the Rooftop
​

​Snoopy is my favorite character from the Peanuts comic stories. Snoopy is not an ordinary dog. It was an abstract and clever Beagle who didn't think suppertime was the only important thing in life. Snoopy loved lying and sitting on the roof instead of inside the doghouse. It once told Woodstock, its best friend, "If you want to be king, stand up on the roof and shout to the world: I am the king!" However, how can Snoopy accomplish sitting on the rooftop? It's not an easy task, especially if you live in Europe. Most of the houses in Europe are designed with steep-shaped rooftops to withstand heavy snow in winter. Nonetheless, Ainė Bunikytė got a creative idea for installing a tea table set with chairs outside on the rooftop within the limitations and boundaries. It is always true that if you want to do something, you can do it, and you can do it well. You will feel great to enjoy tea-time refreshments at the rooftop outdoor seating like that.

Eat Some Fruit, Fresh and Juice

Thailand is an ideal destination for fruit eaters.
I love trying the different fresh fruit and juice options in outdoor seating areas, especially their natural coconut water is sweeter and better than the ones you can taste in Vietnam or Tahiti.
​
Eating fruits that are in season is a wise choice as they have better taste and offer higher nutrient value. For instance, it would not be ideal to eat watermelon during winter as it can make you feel cold and uncomfortable. However, during summer, it helps you stay hydrated and provides relief from the heat. Identifying which fruits are in season is quite easy. You can look for fruits that are widely available in food stores and offer better deals. Moreover, I prefer to consume fruits that carry positive energy (fruits are grown by happy farmers, pleasant workers, on organic farmland, or by fair trade businesses).
