After 2 weeks of hiking in great weather in South Greenland, I arrived to cold, wet and wind in the capital, Nuuk. I was picked up at the airport by my Airbnb host, Rene, and taken to the accommodation. It was absolutely awesome – my own space with a separate entrance, fridge, microwave and bathroom, and only…
Although we had fairly limited time in Georgia, I somehow managed to try a whole range of different traditional Georgian food. It began with surprise tastings on the Tbilisi Hack Free Walking Tour (highly recommended!) and, with the exception of the first night where I was craving a really good steak, I tried something different for…

Moises, who runs the classes, decided…
Another country, another perfect opportunity to explore the culture through one of my favourite mediums – food 🙂 I really struggled to find a cooking class, but I did come across the Foodie Tour by Red Cap Walking Tours – so immediately signed up. Daniel met me in front of the San Francisco Church…
As you have probably figured out by now if you have been reading this blog for a while, one of the first things I do before heading to a new place is search for cooking classes on offer there. Fortunately Cusco had many choose from, and in the end, I decided upon the dinner menu…

According to the packet, all the Angel brand cereals come enriched with 14 vitamins and minerals that help in the following ways: Iron – to prevent anaemia Vitamin A – to help strengthen teeth and bones, for good vision and to care for the skin Vitamin…
One of my favourite things about travelling in South America is the extremely cheap set lunches you can get everywhere – the Menu del Día. Usually you get a choice between 2 entrees and 4-6 mains with the dessert and drink always set. Here’s what I had for lunch today in Huaraz, Peru for 7 Nuevo Soles (less…
