I’ve been to São Paulo twice before this trip, and I’ll let you into a little secret… It was my least favourite city in Brazil before now! It’s a business city, and prior to this trip I’d had no business here (so to speak) which probably explains my dis-attachment. On the plus side, you get to experience... Continue Reading →

Finding Juliet: A Stop Over in Verona Italy

Keeping the gyoza competition tradition: Let’s Do Lunch with world friends!
I do love a bit of healthy competition, so when I was caught in discussion between Romanian-born visual artist and writer Mariana, and Japanese-born interior designer Tamika, challenging each other to a 'gyoza competition' to show of their strongest culinary skills, well, I couldn't resist but to encourage it!
