Welcome


Welcome,

Here you will find posts about my travels and the foods that I have happily discovered while visiting different countries, absorbing their culture. It may be something that others have done before me but I sincerely believe that everyone sees and experiences things differently. The countries I have travelled are numerous and while many places were visited when I was much younger, there are a few clear memories that I wish to share as well as some countries and cities that I have recently visited.
One of my first memories of being abroad takes place in Ireland, Dublin specifically, where we would go to visit family every so often. Dinners including special dinners at Halloween and Christmas are very clear in my memory but so is one of my favourite places: Victor’s Way in county Wicklow. There are other countries which I remember clearly such as Denmark, Italy and parts of Spain but oddly enough, I remember the food the most. I find that unless I walk around with my camera in my hand, I have difficulty remembering some parts of my travels. It is the food I remember almost more than anything else and I can see that the food may be what I write most about. But not necessarily in the way that a food critic writes about a dish...no I will write about the particular dishes and memories with a tone of awe which I still feel at times and perhaps a sigh of sentiment. Although I have name this blog 'An Adventure I'm Sharing', I will write about places which have been well travelled and explored and with the adventure being all mine but I want to share the experience as I feel that perhaps it will encourage others to see things the way I have seen them or to taste food the way I have tasted food. Indeed, there are some cities, landmarks and countries which have brought awe and interest to many but perhaps, as the years go by and the memories start to fade, we, or I, have forgotten what the world can offer, both in terms of what nature gives and what humans can give too. Later travels include places such as La Panne (Belgium), Jordan and Morocco; all of which have been an absolute pleasure to visit and explore.
Just note, that while I write freely and without much constriction, I will not delve into the details of my personal life; that said, I believe that if I hold back too much information, there is a risk of missing out some details which are essential to the memories I hold.

More later but in the meantime, explore with bright eyes and an open heart.
