This beautiful "rock" is "Dragonstone" from Season 7 of Game of Thrones. In Basque, the words "gaztelu" and "atx" mean "castle" and "rock",...

- Nerua Guggenheim Bilbao SpainThe Guggenheim in Bilbao is a beautiful museum full of rotating exhibitions and a strong permanent collection. A visit here will take at least half a day, so it’s nice to be able to walk just a few steps to dine at a 1-Michelin star restaurant right "on campus". "Muina”,...
- Pintxos Hopping in Bilbao, SpainVisiting multiple pintxos bars is a must-do when visiting the Basque region of Spain. Pintxos are small bites served at bars around the city.

I travel A LOT, and I always do extensive research about food before going to a new location. Therefore, if you’re planning on visiting a new place, definitely check out the places I’ve visited and written about in these locations when you’re planning your trip.
United States
I grew up in Ohio (where I ate mostly my mom's cooking - see recipes above!), but spent 20+ years living in Cambridge, a college city right next to Boston. I've spent a lot of time trying food all over the US. There are certain places I visit almost annually, and thus know especially well, such as New York, Las Vegas, and both Northern and Southern California.

Asia
I have lived in Hong Kong for the past 5 years and thus have traveled quite a bit around the region (heh, until the pandemic came). Hong Kong and Japan are both magnificent food cities. One could spend a lifetime just exploring those two places alone. Taiwan is the place of my roots, and I have nostalgic memories visiting it with my family. Finally, these past several years I’ve been able to taste my way through numerous cities in Mainland China, as well as explored many locations throughout Southeast Asia.
Europe
I love Europe's rich history, stunning architecture, breathtaking landscapes, and incredible food. There's a sense of familiarity, perhaps because I spent so much time in Boston, a most "European-like" city in the US. Through the years I've had unique opportunities to explore many parts of this continent, both for work and pleasure. I never tire of it.
