Food, travel, and everything New York City
Food, travel, and everything New York City
Welcome to Mitzie Mee.
Mitzie Mee is my corner of the internet for food, travel, and the places that make exploring the world so rewarding. Here you will find travel guides, restaurant recommendations, recipes, and stories from the cities and neighborhoods I keep coming back to. Some posts are practical and full of tips. Others are simply moments from the road. Everything you see here is based on places I have visited myself.
Travel has shaped most of my adult life. Long before I started writing about it, I spent years working in the travel industry and moving around the world for both work and personal trips. After high school I started out working for a Scandinavian tour operator in Greece and Spain, followed by a season at a ski resort in Norway. Later I worked eight years as cabin crew while studying in Sweden, before earning my commercial pilot license and flying as an airline pilot based in Denmark and Sweden.
Along the way I also finished medical school and worked as a doctor in Denmark and Norway. Today I have returned to full time blogging, which allows me to spend more time traveling and sharing the places and experiences I care about the most.
Because of my background in the travel industry, I have experienced travel from several different angles. I know how airports work behind the scenes. I know how hotels operate. I know how to make a tight connection on the other side of the world and how to spot the places that are actually worth your time.
Between my years working as airline crew and my own travels, I have logged thousands of hours in the air and spent well over a thousand nights in hotels around the world. Travel has taken me to big cities and small villages, to street food stalls and fine dining restaurants, and to places most people would never think of visiting.
That experience is what shapes Mitzie Mee.
I share the places I genuinely love. The restaurants I return to. The dishes that are worth planning a trip around. Vibrant neighborhoods where you can spend hours just wandering around. If I recommend a hotel, a cafe, or a bowl of noodles somewhere in the world, it is because I have been there myself and would happily go back.
Food is a big part of the blog. Many of the recipes I share come straight from friends’ kitchens around the world. Some are family classics, others are dishes I discovered while traveling. I keep things simple and focus on recipes that are easy to follow and full of flavor. Nothing overly complicated, just good food you can recreate at home.
New York City also has a special place here. It is my favorite city in the world and one of the places that continues to inspire me the most. I spend a lot of time in New York, and this is the city where I met my fiancé Steve. Expect neighborhood favorites, classic institutions, new openings, and the kind of places you would recommend to a friend.
My name is Sanne. I was born in Korea and adopted as a baby by Danish parents. Denmark is the country I grew up in and still consider home. Travel has always been a big part of who I am. I have spent most of my adult life moving between countries and cultures, and that perspective shapes the way I see the world.
These days I travel the world together with my fiancé Steve, who shares my love for good food and discovering new places. Many of the restaurant visits and trips you see on the blog are experiences we have shared together.
Mitzie Mee started as a small blog where I wrote about my travels and favorite food finds. Over the years it has grown into an international food and travel blog with readers from all over the world. I’m grateful to everyone who reads and follows along, and I hope you’ll find plenty of inspiration here.
If you enjoy discovering great food, exploring new cities, and traveling a little smarter, you are in the right place.
Thanks for stopping by
Sanne Moeller
