I do love a bit of exploration. I have been fortunate enough in recent years to travel to south east asia, various parts of the USA and europe, and even enjoyed a round the world trip earlier in 2008 and 2009. I love immersing myself in a place, and finding out about its history and how it got to be like it is today. In my spare time I enjoy cooking for people and eating out too, and I very much enjoy getting the feel of the local food cultures in all the different places I visit. That's probably why I love Singapore and Australia so much, as the food scenes there are such an important part of daily life, and include a worldwide spectrum of styles and influences.  In the future, I hope to spend more time travelling the USA, and to explore South America, particularly the Inca trail.
