I heard somewhere that cooking shouldn't feel like an old marriage but like a passionate affair of the heart.
I can't tell you much about cooking but I can tell you quite a bit about food and the experience of eating. Mainly about how happy food makes me and at what lengths I go for an omakase or some purple shrimp or a hearty pasta dish.
I will also tell you about drinks and bars - be it a speak easy in Florence an award winning bar in Seoul or a local in Kalaw, Myanmar where the owner can sing "Take me home, country roads" better than John Denver.
So...I will tell you about travel because that's what I love the most and that's what I am: I am a traveller.
So join me, would you? Let's eat, drink, play.
