I subscribe to a lot of great travel blogs. Lately, a few of them have participated in a cool travel-related meme which recalls travel experiences via the magic of the alphabet. So, I thought I’d have a go too. This’ll be the first meme I’ve ever participated in. I know, shocking!

A: Age you went on your first international trip

I was probably around 8 or 9 years old. We used to go on long road-trips around Europe as a family. The most epic was a drive from London to Rome. We stopped off on the way in Luxembourg and the beautiful Black Forest in Germany to camp. After a week and a half in and around Rome, we took the motorail back to Calais. A great and memorable trip.

B: Best (foreign) beer you’ve had and where?

I’m not a massive beer drinker. I only really got into it this year whilst on a long flight from London Heathrow to Singapore. All they had that sounded familiar was Heineken so I had a can of that to calm my nerves through the bumpy bits over the Himalayas. It was okay, but I would have preferred a cider. I don’t mind a Peroni now and again either.

C: Cuisine (favorite)

Indian. A large variety of flavours, textures and heat levels means for me, it never gets boring. Plus, it’s always filling and comforting. I like that I can rely on it to deliver all these things. A close second would be Italian, though that’s only because we’re an Italian family who eats Italian food pretty much every other day.
