Best meal I ever ate:

Pretty much anything during my trip to Italy, but I found a tucked-away pizzeria with a lovely terrace in Venice that served up to-die-for pizza - and Venice isn't even known for its pizza!

My current drink of choice:

red wine, particularly syrah at this moment

I really wish I could:

quit my job and travel the world.
