I’ve been with my family mostly and most recently with my fiancée as we prepare to tackle the Three Peaks challenge later this year! We set the challenge to raise money for Alzheimer’s Society, as both of our families have …

Taste of the World | New York
As we discussed the prospect of heading to New York just before Christmas, one thought crossed my mind. Food. It wasn’t because I had worked up an appetite planning our trip, but it was the idea of experiencing some of the best foods on the planet. Throughout history, millions of people have made the journey …
