About me
For me, travel is a journey. Hang on… that sounds too much like a load of arse.
For me, travel is a journey to find cake. The tastiest cake mankind can offer.
Some great cakes:
Ligonberry Mousse cake in Tallinn, Estonia.
Sussex Cream Tea in Arundel, England.
Gibanica in Bled, Slovenia.
Bara Brith in Brecon, Wales.
Oh yeah and I saw some ruins and shit too.
Travels so far:
Spain
Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia
Slovenia
New Zealand
South America, from Quito to Ushuaia
Tallinn (With a day in Helsinki)
Scandinavia – Copenhagen to Oslo via Stockholm, the Arctic and Bergen
Budapest
Iceland
Australia
Large tracts of the UK
