Hey Reader, Sometimes it’s best to show, rather than tell. When we were in Vietnam and Thailand, we didn’t want to waste meals on mediocre food or tourist traps. We wanted the really good stuff. So we started using the Michelin Guide app (they also have a website). I know… it sounds fancy. But we found so many incredible local spots on there. Some super affordable, and honestly some of our favorite meals the whole trip. Like our first meal in Vietnam at Mặn Mòi (An Khánh) in Ho Chi Minh (we highly recommend!). That said, we didn’t rely on it alone. Some of our best meals came from asking locals where they eat. Grab drivers, hosts, even random conversations. Or even just wandering around the neighbourhoods we were staying in. If it’s full of locals and busy, that’s usually a great sign. So think of the app as a starting point, not the only answer. If you want food to be part of the experience on your trips, this is an easy one to try. PS. Use the Michelin Guide app to find amazing food on your travels (Not an affiliate link. Just something we genuinely loved using on our trip). Traveling soon? Here are some resources to use:

Hey Reader, Thanks to everyone who voted in last week’s poll about your dream vacation. and the winner is.............. European Vacation...... Hopefully with a lot less hijinks than the Chevy Chase version. Beach getaways came in second, with cruises and camping / national park trips tied for third. I get it. In the 90's I took took two trips to Europe that I'll never forget. The first was with my aunts to England and Scotland as a graduation gift. We stayed in the cutest B&Bs and I quickly...
Foodie Fridays What's cookin' this week Hey Reader, Weather here in Victoria, BC Canada is warming up and those grey days are getting farther in between, now that Spring is in full bloom. I don’t know about you, but the second the weather even hints at being nice… I start craving salads. Which is funny, because if you’ve been around here for a bit, you know my usual go-to is soups and stews. Cozy, comforting, throw everything in a pot and call it a day. Homemade Salads? They’ve always felt a...
Foodie Fridays What's cookin' this week Hey Reader, Today we are going to combine two of my passions, food and travel. Specifically road trip food. There’s a very specific kind of chaos that happens 2 hours into a road trip. Someone’s hungry.Someone’s sticky. The kids are fighting, and your patience is wearing thin. And suddenly you’re pulling into a gas station wondering how it all went wrong so fast. I’ve been there more times than I can count. So over time, I started building a simple...
