Hi everyone, I'm Jonathan, nomadic ambler, airport navigator, and most importantly, ravenous eater. Hope you are all healthy and safe out there.
Early in my travel days, my goal wasn't to check off countries, but to use as many metro systems and airports as possible. In addition to food, architecture, and studying foreign languages, I've got a thing for travel infrastructure (e.g. the Moscow metro is priceless).
After having lived in Tokyo, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Jakarta, and Jeddah, and traveled enough to have visited two places called Mecca, I decided (in late May 2021) it was time to start FindingFoodFluency.com, a site devoted to sharing my passion for gastronomy tourism. Though I'm bootstrapping at the moment, once certain parts of the world open up, I will be able to greatly expand the ambit of food news, videos, travel podcasts, photos, and other culinary content.
With that deluge of information having been spilled, I hope to meet some of you soon!

Among other reasons, I would like to exchange stories and business ideas with my peers, and to learn more about what motivates every individual to travel. My personalized passport stamp backpack, notebook, and phone case: society6.com/travelator
Asking a TravelMassive member for a favorite destination? Tough! Though Tokyo is nearly always on my mind.
Iran is easily #1, followed in no order by the Hoggar Mountains, Laojun Mountain, Caddo Lake, and Paramaribo.

Hi Maria, Food is one priority for me while traveling; in this regard, Japan often nails it. My hackneyed if still not well-known example (at least among fellow non-Japanese visitors) is the "antenna shop." Since you invited us to provide social link... show more

Hmm, I guess random could imply spontaneity? If so, I'd consider the Savitsky Museum and the Desert of Forbidden Art in Nukus, Uzbekistan, a bowling alley in Pyongyang, and the Pakistan Air Force Museum in Karachi for starters. Oh, and New Harmony, ... show more
