“But that's the glory of foreign travel, as far as I am concerned. I don't want to know what people are talking about. I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can't read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.”

I have a little bit of a delicious obsession with all things Momofuku.

When I lived in New York City, the restaurants by chef-founder David Chang had lines around the block before opening each day. This is the restaurant that revitalized and sophisticated Ramen as well as introduced us Americans to all things Bao Bun.

Twelve Hours in London

I love long layovers.

Well, layovers over 4 hours because that means I get to explore an extra city! When booking my flight to South Africa, I made sure to choose the longest layover in London that I could find. Twelve hours- 7:30 am to 7:30 pm… perfect!
