[Music]
hello hi
it’s so nice to meet you lovely to
finally meet you
how are you i’m well how are you
i’m good thank you how are you finding
london
so far it has been incredible like i’ve
been
you know working really hard but also
having lots of fun as well
it’s just the weather that’s not quite
my cup of tea
it’s not great it’s a bit gray at the
moment
it’s a little bit gray and a little bit
drizzly
and a little bit cold for me
i’ve spent a few days up in scotland as
well
which was even colder so i guess
now what’s it like in australia
at the moment we’re just going into
summer so it’s starting to get
warm i’m envious
i’m looking forward to getting back
there actually
do you live near the beach i do
yeah i live in melbourne right near the
beach
yeah and how long are you
going to stay here for probably just
another few days actually so i’ve been
here for about two weeks already
do you miss home not really
it’s nice to get out and explore and see
new things
and meet lots of new people like
yourself
so yeah yeah
i love traveling do you
so where have you been traveling
recently
well i used to live in spain i got to
see quite a lot of spain
i haven’t been traveling recently i did
go on holiday to spain this summer
but i’m looking to move abroad very soon
really i’m looking to
go back to spain very very soon
i would love to visit spain i’ve never
been
haven’t you have you been to many other
countries
i have been yeah i’ve traveled quite a
lot
i’ve been to greece so you know warm
beautiful beaches lovely in summer
that kind of thing i went to greece this
summer
i went to kefalonia one of the islands
it is such a gorgeous part of the world
the food and food
it’s like a mix of greek and italian
food together
just my two favorites the european
summer is
lovely it’s a shame about the winter
i know i’ll make sure that i’m back here
for the summer
next time and you need to visit spain
yes spain is my favorite country in the
world
yes i know it’s been on my list for many
years
and the food there if you like greek
food
then you’re going to love spanish food
i’m a bit tired of eating spanish food
in restaurants
anywhere else in the world except in
spain
it’s just not the same it’s not the same
and i’m looking forward to having my
first proper
siesta as well have you
never had one before we need to correct
that
not officially no so i’ve seen on your
channel
that you quite like cooking
yes how did you get into that
well to be honest i learned a lot from
my fiance cha
so he is an excellent cook and i guess
when you get in a relationship with
someone
you have to kind of up the ante a bit
so he was a really good cook and i
needed to
impress him with my skills
well cooking for one just
isn’t the same is it
actually i’m awful at cooking for one
i always make about six meals worth and
then i have to end up freezing it
which is kind of helpful but i’m not
good at cooking
well i recently moved back with my
parents for a short while
before moving on to another country and
the best part of it
is being able to cook for three other
people
i thought you were going to say that the
best part about it
is you get home-cooked meals every night
no i cook myself
you do it yourself yeah
that’s like my sort of agreement you can
have me here and i’ll cook for you
what’s your specialty well
i did travel to italy a little bit
actually
i didn’t go to italy i went to palermo
in sicily and they taught me how to make
a
mean risotto but i like
experimenting so i kind of ask my dad
and brother
because they’re the most appreciative
what do you fancy
and then i try and do it but with a
twist
so if they want mexican then i’ll do
some sort of
i like to invent we are quite opposite
in that sense
i’m very much like a find a really good
recipe and make the recipe
see i like to find a couple of recipes
take inspiration from them
and then rewrite it myself
that sounds interesting and very
exciting
so what’s your number one recipe then
i love cooking thai food actually
oh i do love thai green curry
yeah but i find it
hard to find a good paste
well i make all my pastes myself
so that’s why mine is so good
but yeah it’s all about the paste right
so you cook that first then you deal
with the rest of it
so you must have lived in quite a few
countries then
i have i’ve definitely tried visited a
few
i’ve only lived in i was born in
australia
and i’ve lived most of my life in
australia
but i have spent some time living in
vietnam and
also in malaysia i’ve never been to asia
at all
haven’t you in fact i’ve only ever left
europe twice once it was to go to
jamaica
and once it was to go to granada
oh really you’re a caribbean kind of guy
i’ve lived in just in spain
i’ve lived in madrid and i lived in
seville
the beautiful part of the world
and london and the countryside in
england
i’m from bedfordshire what’s the
countryside like
so green that sometimes when i get off
the train i have to put my sunglasses on
because it hurts my eyes it’s beautiful
lovely in spring and summer
autumn is stunning because you get all
of the fall of the leaves
yeah and winter’s nice
it does snow occasionally
where i’m from it’s quite flat but if
you go
further further afield you can go down
hills and everything
yeah but i’m looking to live in some
other countries
soon not sure that’s one of the things
that i love most about teaching
and meeting new people is there are so
many opportunities to
you know travel and
go to different places and places that
you
never really expected to go to either
you mean it’s a journey isn’t it
you just end up doing things that you
never
ever imagined and meeting lots of random
people
like me exactly
running to you in london
okay emma well i would love to show you
my neighborhood so why don’t we go grab
a coffee
yeah i’d love to have a little bit of a
walk around
that sounds great let’s do it
and have a chat continue chatting
