I’m by no means intending to promote the products or brands seen in the picture – it’s just the only photo that pretty much sums up who I am. This was taken last year, while I was sitting on train to Exeter in Devon, one of my rare trips to countryside England.  Chocolate croissant already eaten – I MUST eat as soon as I rise. Giant coffee, first and *usually* the only one of the day. A great book is always by my side, and some tunes too.

You can generally count on witnessing me enjoying that combo of goodies most often as I can. London life for the past few years has treated me good. Now in March 2011, I start a new chapter in New York City. And this blog? Observations & memories about some of it’s treasures and those i’ve come across abroad.
