About

This blog was started as a way to share my life with friends and family. When you repeat a story too many times, it gets shorter and less descriptive with each iteration and I figured this was a more effective and convenient way to share.

My passions are food, travel, the environment, agriculture, and helping people. I put a fair bit of research into my travel and hope this blog can be useful as a resource to those with similar interests. For me, it’s not about going places, it’s about experiencing them. The tourist trail is not for me. Lonely Planet is not my bible. I’m looking for a glimpse of what real life is like in a place and do my best to meet locals who can show me a little of their world.

I’ve just been around the garden and feeling fazed by the copious bounty I planted and haven’t got time to reap. If we had had another week, we could have made so many chilli sauces and quince jellies and tomatillo salsas. Looking forward to your final postings!
