Auch, home of d'Artagnan and circus

Auch, Medieval city home of D'Artagnan and circus

On my road trip around Occitanie Budget Traveller Kash and I made our way to a medieval town called Auch to take on some more Destination Challenges.

Little did I know that it's the home of world famous leader of the three musketeer, d'Artagnan. Not only that it's also a city is in love with circus. They actively support innovation in the world of circus via the Circ organisation aka Centre d'innovation et de recherche circassien.

Maybe both facts are related since d'Artagnan was quite the acrobat himself. ;-)

Let me give you a little tour around Auch...

Indonesian food cooking class at Marché 010 in Rotterdam


Ryan, 'le sac a dos' and I made our way to Marché 010 a brand new indoor food market that opened on the 15th of August 2017. Our first Destination Challenge in Rotterdam was to prepare an Indonesian food dish. Luckily we had Jerry by our side to show us the Indonesian way. 

Together we prepared Ayam Suwir aka pulled chicken. We had a fun time preparing it and the eating part was even better. Absolutely delicious. 


Who else is a fan of Indonesian food and what's your favourite dish? Let us know in the comments below ;-)

Watch our little oriental cooking adventure here. 😉
