Trying New Foods While Traveling
When we think of folks who really love to travel, we think of open mindedness. We are very aware that there are lots of food restrictions due to allergies or choices people make about what they will and won’t eat (vegan, vegetarian, etc) however travelling does introduce us to other cultures and ways of life and that includes food! Our tip this week is discussing branching out from what you normally eat and immerse yourself in a food experience. It doesn’t have to be every meal but if you haven’t eaten like a local at least, were you really there? Be adventurous for at least one meal on your travels…

Due to some capacity concerns that still exist, please check in advance for the activities you wish to take part in so you don’t show up disappointed! Plus, having your ticket booked in advance can also help you plan better around that activity!
