Trying different cuisines, Travelling, watching movies

I have tried several multi-cuisine restaurants and single cuisine restaurants that serve mexican, korean, japanese, thai, chinese, italian and reviewed them on google local guide with a decent amount of views and likes. I am currently a level 8 google guide an I hope to add many more reviews and fotos of the restaurants in the local area to reach level 10 as soon as possible. 

I have traveled to various parts of the world which include 3 continents namely Asia, Europe and North America and I wish to explore more and experience the food and culture of the rest of the continents. 

I grew up watching bollywood movies with lots of drama, action and music. Watching bollywood movies is a complete source of entertainment for me.

Recently, I have developed a new hobby which is cooking. I am a home cook, but I do post pictures and food reels on Instagram.
