EAT.MEET.TRAVEL.

... and repeat.

Everytime I taste a new flavour, converse with a stranger or experience a new place, I realise there's a world just waiting to be discovered. I dig food tours and road trips. No one takes a bite before I Instagram it and no touristy stuff on holidays. From my world to yours, let's explore and eat together. The rest can wait.

So, plan your next trip, say hello to someone new and eat like it's your last meal. In doing so, I hope you'll discover life's best...just as I still am.
