Hi everyone, I'm Jonathan, nomadic ambler, airport navigator, and most importantly, ravenous eater. Hope you are all healthy and safe out there.
Early in my travel days, my goal wasn't to check off countries, but to use as many metro systems and airports as possible. In addition to food, architecture, and studying foreign languages, I've got a thing for travel infrastructure (e.g. the Moscow metro is priceless).
After having lived in Tokyo, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Jakarta, and Jeddah, and traveled enough to have visited two places called Mecca, I decided (in late May 2021) it was time to start FindingFoodFluency.com, a site devoted to sharing my passion for gastronomy tourism. Though I'm bootstrapping at the moment, once certain parts of the world open up, I will be able to greatly expand the ambit of food news, videos, travel podcasts, photos, and other culinary content.
With that deluge of information having been spilled, I hope to meet some of you soon!

Flight departure screens in the Middle East are full of (scheduled commercial) flights leaving at those hours. I'm more concerned about airports that don't operate 24 hours; see this BBC article about Fukuoka for one example: https://www.bbc.com/news/w... show more

Given air astana's recent Boeing 787 order, is there any likelihood of nonstop service to NYC? I can certainly envision them getting deployed to various hubs such as LHR, FRA, PEK, and ICN, but I've been thinking for years (...as an armchair expert) tha... show more

Thank you, Susie! p.s. If TripAdvisor could use some help building out Japan-related copy, please let me know.

Thanks for your comment, Hind! Fumbling to find an available locker before the ticket gate is a trial, that's why I wanted to help talk up these hidden-in-plain-sight Narita lockers!
