Favourite Destination: Vienna (Austria) Superb Architecture, Beautiful parks, Relaxing vibe. A perfect destination.

Food Most Enjoyed While Travelling: Mezzis in Lebanon. While staying at the Pension Hadaad in Tripoli (Northern Lebanon) I tasted some of the most delicious and memorable food washed down with great Lebanese beer. (The arak was a winner also!)

Most Memorable Hospitality: While travelling on the bus between Tehran and Esfahan in Iran I met 'Farid' and he invited me for a delicious dinner and a traditional water pipe smoke with his family at their house in Esfahan.
