Get Your Food Freak On

One of the best reasons to travel the world  besides the beautiful scenery, time away, experiences you must go for the food.  One of the best things about being away is also experiencing the local fare.  What is the purpose of flying 5000 miles to get a hamburger, unless of course you are in Argentina.  

People ask how do I lose weight when I travel, I eat like a local.  I indulge in the cuisine of the country or locale and I ask for advice of restaurants, eateries or simple hangouts.  

When visiting new restaurants I ask for recommendations and go for it. Why on earth do you want to try the same on food when you have spent time and money for the experience. 

Step outside of your food comfort zone as well as your choices.  Try something you have never tried before and bring your palate to life.  Remember while you may live in a metropolitan city, this is your opportunity to see how it is prepared in its birth city, town our country.   When traveling to Italy, try their ensalda with a truffle vinaigrette or black truffle oil , in Costa Rica, their avocado toast with pine nuts, in India try Kheer and on and on.  You must relinquish your food fears and experiment with everything your travel destination has to offer.  Also this will help you when you go back home to locate truly authentic restaurants specializing in international foods. 

So, get your food freak on and bon appetite!
