00:00I'm always filling my suitcase with seeds and twigs
00:02and hoping customers doesn't stop me.
00:04I wouldn't say I'm an adventure seeker,
00:06but I am a culture seeker.
00:08I try to make my first meal very simple,
00:11an omelet, even if it's nighttime,
00:13with some salad or french fries,
00:15some chicken noodle soup, something that's easy
00:18and will set my jet lag a little bit on the way to healing.
00:23I like to try one fine dining establishment
00:26just to know what the local community thinks is great,
00:30but more often than not,
00:31I'm actually looking for that local spot
00:34that only some people know about, that only takes cash,
00:37that only has even five items on the menu.
00:40Street food versus Michelin star any day.
00:42I like having a loose and forgiving itinerary.
00:46I just wanna let my curiosity take me,
00:48so I'll just walk not knowing where I'm going.
00:50I might ask around or ask the concierge,
00:53but I love the art of discovery.
00:55If I'm going for work, first slide out.
00:58If I'm going for pleasure,
00:59I'm happy to sleep on the plane.
01:00Island vibe to rest, city vibe to sea culture.
