And let me tell you that having walked the complex path of living overseas, beginning in China, I can vouch that it’s not merely about having…
How can you dislike something you’ve never tried? My closest friend recently expressed great surprise when they discovered my incredibly versatile palate. From unconventional treats like chicken feet, pig’s ears, and escargot, to the more refined delicacies like beef tartare, black cod, truffle pasta, and lobster – I eat anything.

Even then, there were pockets of rain, but the sun dominated, warming afternoon hikes and energising café terraces. Visiting Sölden in late August, however, was a completely different experience.
