About Us

About Our Blog

We have just entered our 50s and our kids are now in colleges in different parts of the world.

The two things we love are travel and food and this blog will be mostly about travel but will also share some juicy reviews of some great food we have had over the years and will continue sharing our experiences in our future travels.

Every picture, every review and every experience is our own. No AI has helped us in writing any blog and no stock photo will ever be used. You might not find too many photographs as we truly believe that pictures do not do justice to some of the amazing sights we have seen. We share information with the hope that you get to experience those sights as well!

Really hope you enjoy reading the blogs as much as enjoy writing them and please leave your feedback so that we can improve.
