* I was invited as a guest of Daana, however all opinions are my own. If you remember the shipping container village Westside in Acton, you might have come across Daana specialising in South Indian cuisine.

He had packed a suitcase, called an uber which took us to the airport, and we went straight through the security gate, and I still didn’t know where we were going! He finally let on that we were going […] Read more…
