In all fairness, Split - the sunny seaside city in Croatia - and each of the restaurants we ate at there probably deserve their own posts, but I'm both remarkably lazy and somewhat out of practice in writing about food so I'll attempt to combine my experiences into one concise post. Having said that, I'll … Continue reading Split and Toro Grill Bar
It's been sometime since I wrote, and now that I'm not travelling so much (not full time at least) I wondered what I should turn my attention to. Well, where better to start than a topic that I deal with every day - an expats view of food in Sweden. Admittedly, coming from Melbourne, Australia, … Continue reading A Beginner’s Guide to Food in Sweden
A review of short-term investment options from an expat living in Sweden
After a long period of anticipation, my visits to the European Taste festivals have rolled around and passed in a flurry. Taste of Amsterdam, the third and final of the Euro Festivals that I'll be able to make it to this year, and different again to Milan and Paris. The first and most noticeable feature … Continue reading Taste of Amsterdam 2017
Following Milan, I metered my expectations for Taste of Paris (whilst at the same time, expecting my lowered expectations to be exceeded - confusing, no?). The Taste of Paris was held in the Grand Palais - the larger of the two exhibition centres on the Champs-Elysees. This is a big venue for a food festival. But … Continue reading Taste of Paris 2017

The 2017 season began last weekend, with the Taste of Milano. Set at 'The Mall' exhibition space in Porta Nuova, the Taste of Milano … Continue reading Taste of Milano 2017
Despite this blog being written 2 weeks late I have to say WOW what an experience. I've been a whisky fan for some time so it's hardly a surprise that I booked in for the whisky masterclass during my trip to Edinburgh. I couldn't very well go to Scotland and not. From the perspective of both … Continue reading 8000 Bottles and Counting
I came to York for only two reasons: Firstly, because it was kind of on the way anyway. Secondly, because I'd read that Yorkshire had somewhat become the gastronomic hub of Britain, and I wanted to answer the question - other than Heston's madcap inventions, does British gastronomy actually exist? My experiences so far in England … Continue reading York
I see so many articles and questions about people who want to drop their careers or escape the 'regular life' to pursue their passion (starting a business, etc) or travel - but are held back by the hurdles of fear and money. Then there are the success stories of people who have been through it, … Continue reading Had Enough of Every Day Life?
OVERVIEW With 5 days notice I was looking to fill a mystery few days between Spain and London when my plans for Morocco didn't pan out. So I simply looked for the cheapest option, which turned out to be Sofia, Bulgaria. To those who have been to the Balkans or maybe just dreamed of it, … Continue reading Sofia
