From Street Food to Global Adventures

Hey, I’m Ramzi —a traveler with a serious love for food, culture, and adventure. From grabbing a bowl of noodles in Bangkok’s bustling streets to trekking through the Moroccan desert, I’ve spent years exploring the world, one meal and one experience at a time.

Fork The Map is my little corner of the internet where I share my travels, food discoveries, and everything in between.

How My Travel Journey Started

It all began in 2008 with a solo trip from Amsterdam to Salzburg, Austria. I was on a tight budget, and for some reason, I decided to take a train across Germany instead of flying—even though it would’ve been cheaper! It didn’t make much sense at the time, but that adventure sparked something in me.

Since then, I’ve explored 27+ countries, and every trip has been a mix of amazing food, incredible people, and a few unexpected mishaps (because what’s travel without a little chaos?).

These days, I split my time between London, United Kingdom, and Manila, Philippines, with my wife, Rina. We met while I was backpacking across Southeast Asia in 2024, and since then, we’ve been traveling and eating our way through the world together.

We love sharing our experiences—the places that stole our hearts, the food that surprised us (for better or worse), and the amazing people we’ve met along the way.
