I\u2019m from the US but I\u2019ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer. <\/p>\n<p>If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I&#8217;m a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.
