Gourmet Roaming is about my favourite things: travel, food and wine.  If you have constant itchy feet, plan your days around where and what to eat and consider a Bloody Mary a perfectly acceptable start to the day whilst on holiday (or any day…), this is the place for you!

My backpacking days were wonderful, but they are behind me now.  Well, I still carry a backpack sometimes, but these days I choose Airbnb apartments where I can cook up a feast from the local produce market, rather than cooking 2 minute noodles in a shared kitchen. I want to visit villages, remote mountains and deserted beaches as well as the main cities and tourist hotspots.  Occasionally, I want to splurge an outrageous amount of money on a fantastic meal and a rare bottle of wine.  Stumbling on a local, favourite restaurant in a backstreet, with food and generosity of spirit I’ll remember long after I’ve paid the bill, is my idea of a travel highlight.

Whether you are contemplating a grown-up gap year like me, are planning your next annual leave adventure or are just dreaming of something, somewhere different, this is the blog for you.  You can subscribe to my blog below, follow my social media accounts and join me Gourmet Roaming!
