Welcome To My New Food & Travel Blog

Me with my grilled platter in Greece


Once again, a big HELLO and WELCOME to all. Travelling has always been my passion and it wasn't till recently that I came to a realization that I simply can't live without travelling. A simple reevaluation of my life and I set my dreams and life-goals in this sector, starting this blog brings me one stop closer to the ultimate dream. As for the exact details of the dreams and goals set, I'll slowly introduce it throughout my time blogging.

Beyond the grandeur of sights and sounds of my travels the lowdown of my escapades, here are the few other things that you can expect from here:

  • Evolution of Travels: Currently, I'm a student that has zero pay and living off my limited savings. Obviously, best part of my trips will be based on frugality. You'll more or less get a backpacker's perspective of things for at least the time being. This is bound to change. As the years go by, I'll be exposed to different travelling experiences, ranging from my frugal backpacking trips to the luxurious high road travels. I'll include everything inside. However, one thing that I can promise is that  from time to time, I'll still go back to my backpackers roots and do it one more time.
  • Thoughts Sharing: This is fundamentally still a blog. A compilation of what I want to say out in a public space. This will not only include my experiences, but also my thoughts on pertinent travel topics, the latest travel news and other travel-related updates in the travel world. Please take my commentaries with pinch of salt as whatever's in here will still essentially be just my opinion and nothing more. I welcome all comments (non-offensive) and I'll try my best to reply as much as I possibly can.
  • Gastronomical Experiences: One thing which can rival my love for travelling is F-O-O-D. I'm all for visiting the grand colosseum or the magnificent great wall of China, but ultimately travelling is more than just the accumulation of the sights that you have seen. It is the wholesome experience of living "locally" that counts too. The fact that I'm not the party-animal type of person, I have chosen to enhance this experience through living out the gastronomic affairs that the locals have with their cities. Thus a strong emphasis, besides the typical sights, will be on the food I have tried (regardless how unusual) along the way.
  • Timeline: I try my very best to keep this blog as "live" as possible. However, due to no small part my lack of time and a wee bit of procrastination, I still got a lot of backlogging of the first half (and my previous leg) of the current trip to clear. So you might see the dates jumping here and there, but once this is clear up, a clear timeline will be made obvious and you can track where I am anytime.
  • History of the places: I'm sorta of a history buff myself and always make an effort to read up on any place I visit. Thus I'll add them in here too for those interested. If you aren't, just skip over and move on.
Obviously, from the title of the blog, you'll figure that this is not just a Travel Blog. This is also a foodie blog. I'll definitely not be travelling 365 days a year, so when I'm back home, this blog will still be active for the sharing of the second love of my life - the taste of Singapore. So stay tuned for more recommendations and experience sharing even when I'm not globetrotting.

Alright, that's all for now. Its getting too lengthy so I'll just end here and if anything else comes to mind, I'll add it in my future entry. So time to start cracking!
