Welcome to DineWineLove!
I am really happy that you are here and hope that you find what you are looking for in my guides. DineWineLove is a lifestyle blog with well-researched guides and reviews that help users make better choices.
What can you find at DineWineLove?
On this blog, I try to share a mix of lifestyle guides and blog posts. The three main categories of this blog are food (Dine), drinks (Wine) and lifestyle (Love). The latter category includes wedding guides, travel, animal posts, and more.
Restaurant reviews and food posts
A lot of the posts on DineWineLove are food-related. I love to eat and one of my favourite things to do is to try out new restaurants. And since I have so many great restaurant tips to share, why not just write some reviews?
In addition to specific restaurant reviews, I also share listicles and round-ups for different locations and categories.
Bar reviews and drink posts
In addition to eating out, I love drinking out – and at home. I am an especially big fan of wine and therefore write posts related to wine and other drinks to enjoy.
Like restaurant reviews, I share bar reviews and round-ups of different great bars around the world.
Wedding guides and blog posts
As soon as I got engaged, I started reading up on wedding planning and wedding guides online. Although there is already a lot of content out there, I want to contribute with what I can – specifically focusing on destination weddings like weddings in Malta and Spain.
Animal guides and blog posts
I love animals and in 2019, my fiancé and I went about adopting a senior dog in Malta. In 2020, we adopted a cat in Spain. Now, Bo and Fiona are a big part of my life and I learn something new every day.
I share my knowledge as well as the knowledge of experts in my pet-related posts.
Travel guides and blog posts
One of my great passions in life is to travel and explore new places. From my travels, I share weekend-guides and recommendations from different locations around the world.
I have lived abroad for years (in Qatar, London, Malta and now Spain) so I share insider tips and expert recommendations from these destinations specifically. Find unique spots to visit and the best restaurants available.
Destination Guides
Malta guides and blog posts
Malta is a small Mediterranean island not everyone has heard of. It's a popular tourist destination for the UK among other countries. But for some, it might be a brand new destination to explore. After living in Malta for three years, I have a lot of inside Malta guides, tips and recommendations to share.
Spain guides and blog posts
Spain is a big country with a great culture for food, wine, and hospitality. After moving to Costa del Sol in 2020, I hope to find some great tips and restaurant recommendations to share. My Spain posts currently focus on the Málaga area, with a base in Mijas, Málaga.
Norway guides and blog posts
Norway is a beautiful (and expensive) country more and more tourists are travelling to. I am born and raised (mostly) in the small Norwegian town of Haugesund and engaged to a man from Lofoten Islands. Although I no longer live in Norway, I have a lot of tips to share.
Qatar guides and blog posts
Qatar is a small Arabic peninsula located next to Dubai. Though tourism has blossomed recently, it is still an unknown destination for many. I lived in Qatar from 2008 to 2010 and have visited yearly since then. Therefore, I want to share the best that this country has to offer.
London guides and blog posts
London is a big city that most of us have either visited or dreamt of visiting before. Of course, there are many guides out there already outlining where to go and what to do in London. But I still want to share my top picks, after having lived there for three years.
DineWineLove Q&As
What is DineWineLove?
DineWineLove is a lifestyle blog with a focus on food, drink, travel, and wedding posts. Within the three sections 'Dine', 'Wine', and 'Love', the goal is to share useful and fun content that gives you in-depth information about the topic.
Who is the creator of DineWineLove?
The brand DineWineLove and everything published on this blog is created by me, Anita Fosen. I started my first blog in 2008 and have been an online writer ever since then. With a BA in Journalism and daytime job in SEO content creation, I want to use my knowledge to create fun, interesting and useful content.
Who is Anita Fosen?
I am a 25-year old Norwegian who just can't seem to stay in one place! Although from a small town in Norway, I have lived almost half of my life abroad. I moved to Qatar in 2008 and has since then lived in London, Malta, and now Spain!
I love to read and write, eat and drink out, and listen to music. If I am not working on my day job or blog, you'll probably find me at home with my fiancé and dog, Bo. Though I try to share some of my personal favourites and experiences, this is not a blog about me. In many ways, I try to keep the blog as non-personal as possible.
When and why did you start DineWineLove?
The idea of DineWineLove was started in November 2019, after searching for a new hobby and something to call my own. With a 9-5 job, I think it is important to have a creative/fulfilling hobby to work on in the evenings and weekends. Some people prefer working out or reading, some play on online casinos, while others start a business.
How often are new posts published?
I love to write and have a lot of content just waiting to be written. But as this is still just a hobby I am combining with my day job and personal life, I aim to publish around one post a week. In addition to new posts, I spend a lot of time updating and improving already published posts.
