About Me
Hello, I am what you would call a ‘Nomad’ and my current stint living in Saudi Arabia is the longest I’ve stayed in one place. I’m someone who hasn’t had the time to establish his roots in one particular country, moving around in search of better opportunities and at the same time being exposed to different cultures and their cuisine.
Follow me for the best food from Saudi Arabia and the WORLD.
