FOR THE LOVE OF FOOD AND TRAVEL
Meet Jonas, an IT entrepreneur, a big foodie and adventurous traveller. Copenhagen is his base, but the world is his kitchen. Jonas uses Everplaces to keep track of his food discoveries all over the world. He is just back from his travels in Hong Kong and Vietnam, bringing plenty of delicious and tempting tips in his hand luggage.
My girlfriend and I traveled to Hong Kong and Vietnam in March. We are both crazy foodies and love trying new restaurants. Food experiences almost always end up being some of our greatest memories when thinking back at where we have been together, but it is always a conversation of “Where exactly was that great seafood restaurant in Cape Town?” and “Do you remember the name of that little hotel we stayed at in Stellenbosch?”. So having installed Everplaces before the trip, we were looking forward to saving the memories in a more structured place than our mind this time :)
Hong Kong and Vietnam are melting pots of cool restaurants. From the tiny street kitchens selling wonderful local delicacies to the international Michelin star restaurants, there are thousands of choices. So finding some that we loved and being able to save them with photo and location (Everplaces works offline which is vital when abroad as my provider charges 18 USD/mb for roaming data) was wonderful. It actually ends up becoming somewhat of an obsession to make your collection as nice as possible.
If I hadn’t saved all the places we went, I would never have been able to recommend the places we found to others if/when I get asked “So, you went to Vietnam, can you recommend some good places to eat and stay?” Actually, I was in Vietnam 15 years ago and it turns out I didn’t remember a single specific place from my trip back then. I am sure that whatever gadget I will be using in 15 years from now, I will pray for it to support my Everplaces collection, because from now on, ill be collecting great travel memories in there!
