When we explore new countries and cities, when travelling for work or pleasure, food always says a lot about the country and can be one of the main attractions. You can make the dining part of your trip very satisfying and memorable. How?

I wish more people start really seriously think about it and do small steps every day. I don’t say I am perfect; there is always more I can do. We are all concerned about the changes, sure, but how much of our luxury life ...

Kremin-Maslov Food Piramid

Many will familiar with Maslow ‘s hierarchy of needs which is represented in the form of a pyramid with the largest and lowest levels of human needs positioned at the bottom upwards through physiological (including sexuality), security (of position), friendship and love, self esteem and the need for self-actualisation at the very top.

Just as with Maslow, KreMin’s Pyramid has five levels: Self Actualisation-Fulfilment of Needs (PACIFISTS/ECOLGISTS) This is a rarely attained level where people have a need and sense of ...
