  • Biography:

    Born in England, moved to Iraq, moved back to England, wound up in Melbourne, keep going to New York. When not creating content for the Lonely Planet website, I love to write, drink black coffee and pat noble dogs outside bakeries. My quest to find a true, classic US-style mac cheese in Australia remains open.


    Next trip planned: four or five weeks taking in Tokyo (pop culture overload), Berlin (art and bands), Barcelona (ham!), NYC (I love you!), Palm Springs (camp 60s motels) and LA (Chateau Marmont, how you doin’?) with the awesome Rock Ho.

      commented on how the other half lives... in Airplane food

      When you automatically wince and squint in fear of those surprisingly tough drink lids giving way and launching the contents at you at point-blank range.

      commented on how the other half lives... in Airplane food

      And I bet you had actual elbow room to eat instead of that kind of collapsed-foal thing you've got to do where you can only bend from the wrists down and you have to kind of rest your rock-hard bread roll on your chest and stab at it with a plastic knife to get the mock butter in.

      commented on Typical Western breakfast in Food in the morning

      I love Jon Stewart,what kind of schizophrenic 'breakfast' is this?! It's like it's trying to be the popular breakfast kid or something... do you wash it down with a Bud?

      Coffee - the only reason to get up in the morning

      - and therefore the only reasonable place to go for the morning brew is Batch on Carlisle St in East St Kilda. Eye-wateringly strong, majestic black coffee. So good it even got a mention in a New York Times article researching why coffee was so good here in Australia.
