Well hello there. Thanks for stopping by and checking out our blog. So what exactly is twenty three point five all about? Glad you asked.

Twenty three point five was created by the travel fixers at Black Tomato to share the things we love most about our world. And we’re not just talking about travel. From music to food, to the daily rituals in life, we want to share with you everything we think is worth talking about.

Well, first of all, let’s introduce you to Black Tomato. Click here to find out where this noir-coloured fruit got started…

Now here’s a little snapshot of some of the people behind the posts:

Biggest travel passion?

Amazing landscapes. I can’t help but fall for a mountain and ocean combo. Local cuisine is also a great way to get to know a destination, i’ll never forget first time I tried traditional Ceviche in Peru, delicious.

Sunrise or sunset?

Definitely sunset, preferably in Cape Town with a Mojito in hand.

Next destination to explore?

I’d love to spend some time Buenos Aires, as well as going somewhere totally remote and unknown like Mongolia.

Biggest travel passion?

Food. I love trying out all the local dishes wherever I go (although I’ll admit a slight uneasiness around ‘strange’ body parts…). Street markets are the best places I’ve found for classic munches.

Sunrise or sunset?

Sunrises. One of my favourite memories to date is still being in Australia’s outback, sitting in the desert with friends until the sun came up. There’s something special about a sunrise. Maybe it’s just because I don’t see them as often.

Next destination to explore?

My list of must-go places never ends. At the moment, India and Sri Lanka are at the top of my list. South America’s also a big one.
