How you travel is personal. Some people will head out on their annual vacation and stick to familiar things. Others will do things differently every time to  get a variety of experiences. There is no right or wrong way to travel. We all have our own travel goals. Sometimes it’s to relax. Sometimes it’s to explore. And there are some that want to eat their way around the world! There are many interesting and incredible cuisines around the world. Wanting to taste them all is only natural. Consider taking a foodie trip when you next travel.

Make It A Foodie Destination

Although every country has its own cuisine, it’s safe to say that not all of them will appeal to you. So you may want to find the best foodie locations around the world and plan a trip to one of those. Whether it’s New York or Rome, be sure that you’re heading somewhere that will have many delicious food options to choose from.

Check Restaurant Recommendations Before You Go

Before you head to a foodie destination to enjoy some great food do your research to get the most out of your culinary adventure. There are many online sites to help you identify the best “must visit” restaurants. These web sites will also give you some ideas on what to order. Be sure to take some notes to bring with you.

Seek Out Street Food

Don’t just limit yourself to the fancy restaurants or cute little eateries. There’s some really amazing food out on the streets. Head to social media and see what food trucks are causing a stir. In many countries from Colombia to Thailand you’ll find food stalls on the side of the road. This is where many locals get their daily meals. You would be surprised at how good and how inexpensive they are. Check out this fun video tour of food stands in Bangkok Thailand.

Find Fun Experiences

There other ways to broaden your your foodie experience. Take a cooking class, or go on a wine tasting, like Star Lane tastings. Not only will you have a fun time but you will bring home knowledge and experience you can use over and over again. By planning a variety of foodie experiences you won’t feel like you’re doing the same things every day.

Make Time For A Tipple

Finally, don’t forget to sip up! You’ll often find some great cocktail bars in your foodie destinations. Be sure to include coffee shops and juice bars in your foodie experiences (You can also find these opportunities on the street). This is a great way to step back,  take a break with a nice drink and get ready for your next foodie experience.

Tips for Trip Success

Book Your Flight
Find an inexpensive flight by using CheapOAir, a favorite of ours because it regularly returns less expensive flight options from a variety of airlines.

Book Your Hotel or Special Accommodation
We are big fans of Booking.com. We like their review system and photos. If we want to see more reviews and additional booking options, we go to TripAdvisor.

You Need Travel Insurance!
Good travel insurance means having total peace of mind. Travel insurance protects you when your medical insurance often will not and better than what you get from your credit card. It will provide comprehensive coverage should you need medical treatment or return to the United States, compensation for trip interruption, baggage loss, and other situations.
