Gastrotravelogue: Where to eat, stay and go — first‑hand

Every guide comes from real trips — the restaurants I loved, the street food worth hunting down, and the boutique hotels that earned their spot. I cover food‑led city breaks across Europe, SE Asia and beyond with first‑hand recommendations only. The things to do are the ones that genuinely stood out. If I haven’t been, it’s not included.
