Life in Bangkok
Recent adventures have made me very accustom to coach stations, airports security, departure lounges and the trivial processes required to travel from one side of the world to the other. Although when boarding my Eva Air flight (who by the way provide a very attentive and comfortable journey), a strange sensation started to set in. […]
In-N-Out
The hamburger is America’s favourite dish. Period. The nation’s fondness of this humble meal ensures that hamburgers can be found on almost any restaurant menu around the country. Establishments range from hole in the wall joints serving a single style of burger to loyal followings, mom and pop dinners established before you had even tasted […]
South California: San Diego to Los Angeles
The neighbourhood of La Jolla was our first stop in San Diego, this hilly seaside community is a stark contrast to the middle America we had become use to. Sun kissed promenades adorned with hip cafés, chic restaurants and boutique shops, are lined with palm trees swaying in the coastal sea air. And of course […]
Rule Britannia!
I’m heading to the Oregon coast this weekend with family and took this as perfect opportunity to get in the kitchen to prepare a few beach picnic treats, and what screams classic British more than the scotch egg?

Austin, TX
Saturday 16th March. An early rise, a cloudless blue sky, and our introduction to South by Southwest (SXSW). After a wrong bus journey and a brief walk around the downtown area (typical acclimatising to any new city) we made our way to the legendary downtown 6th Street. 6th is lined with numerous music venue, dive bars serving up […]
Highway 61 Revisited
Some of you may know that Highway 61 is synonymous with some of the most important blues music to come out of America. Bob Dylan went as far as writing a whole album, in 1965, about the famous route in that contained some of his most important work; Ballet of a Thin Man, Queen Jane Approximately, […]
Distilled in Tennessee
Our sixth state and what a treat she was, Tennessee proved to be the kind of America we had been yearning for when we first conceived our road trip dream. Beautiful countryside, quaint towns, friendly locals, and our first taste of home cooked southern soul food. Not to mention a trip to the town of […]
