People always ask how I ended up in a monastery with an eccentric German monk in the highlands of South Taiwan — well, the answer is Gonzo.

Anywhere in the world. Side quests you didn't know existed. Gonzo finds them.

A haircut, a cave bar, street food under £3, somewhere to impress a date, or the museum nobody talks about. Pick a lens. Describe what you need. Get one place worth your time.
