About Us

Butterfly logotype

We go. We pay. We tell it exactly as it was.

We are Ina and Kristoffer, a Swedish couple who travel to eat, eat to remember, and have strong opinions about both. Sometimes about other things too.

No freebies. No sponsors. We book like everyone else, pay like everyone else, and leave like everyone else.

The name came from a pronunciation problem. Itinerary was — and remains — a word Kristoffer cannot say correctly. One day Iternitty came out instead. It stuck.

The butterfly in our logo goes where it wants. So do we.

Ina

Loves spicy food, distrusts anything raw and slimy, and will not tolerate a fork with crooked prongs. She is a certified sommelier with a master’s degree in psychology — both qualifications come in useful, though rarely at the same time.

She calls Kristoffer a marshmallow. This is a reference to the Marshmallow Test, and to his relationship with patience, which is complicated.

Kristoffer

Also a sommelier. Will eat almost anything — except eggs and insects, though he makes an exception for green ants, which is a sentence he never expected to write.

He dislikes edible gold on food. Not for principled reasons. It just irritates him.

When ill, he ignores every piece of advice Ina gives him and then asks for her chicken soup. He calls her cupcake. She lets him.

He dislikes flying. But staying home is worse.

Good service can save a bad meal, but there is no level of food that can save bad service
