About Jay
He started travelling at 16 and never really stopped.
Jay Patwal started travelling at 16 — not as a tourist, but as a curious soul with a camera and an appetite. Now 29, he’s covered 46+ countries and eaten at hole-in-the-wall kitchens most people walk right past.
Living Manchester, but rarely home long enough to unpack. No fluff, no sponsorship bias — just real knowledge from someone who’s actually been there.
Adventure is best served with a side of something delicious.
