Many years ago, I ordered a pad Thai at a simple food stall in Bangkok. The woman who took my order began cooking the dish right in front of me, with her children playing nearby. The woman and I shared a few words as she prepared my dish, despite our language barrier. I was impressed at how much care, attention, and love she put into her cooking, and even more so when I finally got to enjoy my meal. It was one of the best pad Thai dishes I have ever had. Years later, I found…
Chile boasts intense geographic diversity, with one of the world’s best wine terroirs surrounded on all sides by mountains, desert, and ocean.

When people think of Irish cuisine, they often picture potatoes, stew, and a pint of Guinness. As a proud Irish woman from a small village in County Tipperary, I can tell you you’re not wrong but there’s so much more to Irish food than that. Irish cuisine is all about quality, freshness, and comfort. It isn't always about fancy techniques or heavy spices; it's about simple, wholesome dishes made with care, rooted in Irish tradition, and perfectly suited to our maritime climate.I come…
“If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.” These words were spoken by Anthony Bourdain, the late chef and writer, on the final episode of his popular travel show, No Reservations, in November 2012. People have truly taken his words to…
My first taste of an ice cream bean set me on my quest: if a fruit existed that tastes like Ben & Jerry’s finest with the texture of cotton candy, what else was I missing out on?

But driving a little further and getting a little stickier brings a Willy Wonka-esque wealth of the plant kingdom’s wildest wonders.During previous visits to the…
In the spring, I hosted three journalists on a press trip through India for Goway. We explored Delhi, Varanasi, Jaipur, Ranthambore National Park, and Agra.

On our journey across the so-called Golden Triangle of the northwest, we did a lot of walking and eagerly went out to meet…

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.
What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.
Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.
I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.
The Festes Majors are summer festivals held in the villages of Andorra. Each festival is unique to the village, with its own distinct style.
