Today, after much internal debate, I have decided to resign from my post as Beverage Manager at Borealis and begin work on my quest for food & wine enlightenment. I plan to live and work abroad in the worlds most popular culinary regions; beginning in March with the stunning fjords, mountains, and, of course, wineries of New Zealand.As so many have told me, the opportunity to leave behind everything you know is never easy, but it only gets harder the older you get. I will miss everything that is Ontario and Canada greatly, but I am most certain I will return with a far greater appreciation for everything that makes this country so great.
New Zealand is only my first stop... Australia, SE Asia, China, South Africa, France, Italy... culinary tours de force and soon, a stop on this whirlwind (and incredibly budget conscious) itinerary of mine!
Wish me luck, and I hope to see you somewhere else on this beautiful planet!
