2016 Year in Review

14Jan17

As many people have reviewed 2016, I will do the same but a bit differently. I will review it through the restaurants around the world that have been awarded Michelin stars and have been ranked on the San Pellegrino& Acqua Panna list of world’s best restaurants.

Long time ago, I promised to myself that by the age of 30, I will visit Ibiza. I was 4 months late with fulfilling my promise, but at least I’ve done it now! After prolonged convincing, my friends finally budged in and said “yes” to it as well. The White Isle, as it is often […]

Grand Tour I
