As each year draws to a close, I like to think back on my travels and distill down my favourite memories and experiences. It’s part simple reflection and an exercise in gratefulness for the past year. It also helps to plan future trips as I continue to learn about what makes me happy and what I cherish in experiences. As I was doing so this year, it became pretty evident that many of my favourite travel memories this year ended up revolving around food, wine and drink. In no particular order, here are my ten favourite travel related experiences from 2014:
1. Drinking on the roof of a church – And not just any church… I shared a couple of shots of liquor on top of St. Peter’s Bascilica in Rome with six German women. Better than the liquor were the laughs shared and the feeling of cheating a lightening bolt for such behaviour.
