What was your greatest holiday?
I travelled through the south of Spain with eight of my best mates about 10 years ago. We experienced amazing beaches, beautiful
people, delicious food, cold beer and travel with a group of good mates.
What more can you ask for?
And the worst?
Paris in the winter of 2007. At the time, I was a chef de partie working in London and had very little money. Paris is a hard city in winter and even harder when you have next to no money to play with. I had been dreaming of Paris for years, building it up in my head, and it was nothing like I had imagined.
You know what they say about meeting your heroes ...
If we bump into you on holiday, what are you most likely to be doing?
Most likely eating or walking around food markets talking to locals about food.
If we could teleport you to one place in NZ for a week-long holiday, where would it be?
Hot Water Beach, on the Coromandel.
