]]> Found in the northeastern corner of Europe, Finland is a fascinating country that, although quite hard to get to, is well worth it if you can. It offers some amazing scenery as part of the Arctic Circle, as well as a unique culture and many experiences that are unlike anywhere else. If you’ve never been, here are three reasons to go to Finland.

Incredible Natural Wonders

Finland boasts an array of incredible landscapes including some unspoiled coniferous forests and thousands of lakes and small islands. The Finnish Archipelago is an amazing sight to behold and you can enjoy sailing around it or traveling at higher speeds via a speedboat.

Finnish Culture

Finnish culture is quite unique, being situated between the rest of Scandinavia to the west and Russia to the east. Its small population and large landmass, combined with the Finnish Archipelago and an abundance of lakes, mean it is quite a wild country with unique people who are friendly if a bit eccentric.

Finnish Cuisine

Finland’s food is heavy on seafood and fish, with lots of dishes focusing on freshly caught fish. Try creamy salmon soup, or reindeer stew for a local dish that is unique and delicious. You might also end up at a crayfish party, in which Fins drink vodka and eat many crayfish to celebrate Finnish independence.

]]> Fun fact: all noodles are pasta, but not all pasta is noodles. And when it comes to pasta and foodie travel, Italy tends to steal the spotlight, but the truth is that there are plenty of Asian countries that can give Bel Paese a run for its penne. Vietnam, in particular, is home to over 20 noodle dishes featuring fresh, local ingredients that continue to be prepared according to the country’s ancient culinary tradition. If you’re a pasta-enthusiast planning a trip to Vietnam, here are a few especially worth trying.

Phở

Arguably the most well-known noodle dish and the official national dish of Vietnam, phở is a savory soup made from thin rice noodles and meat in a delicate broth. The history of phở dates back over 100 years, with early versions consisting of rice cakes boiled with beef sold by street vendors in the Nam Định province. Today, variations of phở are enjoyed all over the country, often with fresh herbs, chili, and lime.

Pork is a staple in Vietnamese cuisine, and one of the most common ways it’s consumed is along with some rice noodles in bún thịt nướng.

]]> Japan is a mystical country with an alluring blend of ancient and modern marvels. With a rich culture, futuristic cities, and internationally renowned cuisine, it will have something for everyone. Here are three reasons why Japan should be on your travel radar.

Culture

Japan’s rich cultural heritage is a testament to its centuries-old traditions, captivating visitors with a glimpse into a world of refined customs and artistic expressions. Kyoto, with its historic temples and traditional tea houses, allows travelers to step back in time. Witness the graceful art of the tea ceremony, explore ancient Shinto shrines, and immerse yourself in the beauty of cherry blossoms during spring. The contrast between the serenity of traditional gardens and the bustling energy of modern Tokyo creates a harmonious blend that defines the unique allure of Japan.

Futuristic Cities

In contrast to its deep-rooted traditions, Japan stands at the forefront of technological innovation, offering a glimpse into the future. Tokyo, a sprawling metropolis, showcases towering skyscrapers, neon-lit streets, and cutting-edge technology. From the high-speed Shinkansen trains to interactive robotics exhibitions, Japan seamlessly balances its respect for tradition with a pioneering spirit.

Incredible Cuisine

Japanese cuisine, renowned worldwide for its precision, artistry, and diverse flavors, promises a culinary journey like no other. Indulge in sushi crafted by skilled chefs in Tokyo’s Tsukiji Fish Market, savor authentic ramen in Kyoto’s historic districts, and experience the art of kaiseki dining. Whether it’s the delicate flavors of tempura or the umami-rich taste of matcha-infused sweets, Japan’s culinary scene offers a symphony of tastes that celebrate the country’s culinary mastery.

]]> Vietnam is a fantastic country to visit- it has some vibrant cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, as well as some of the most amazing landscapes and some fantastic cuisine to try. It is also entering its summertime so you can escape the dark and cold this winter. Here are three reasons you should visit Vietnam this winter.

Cities

The cities of Vietnam are vibrant hubs that have elements of history and modernity at every corner. Visit the Old Quarter of Hanoi and walk through ancient streets and old Vietnamese architecture. Hanoi also boasts a wide variety of trendy restaurants and cafes, and the streets are filled with atmosphere as many strangers come together to play games. Ho Chi Minh City in the south offers a lively urban landscape and if you are interested in your history, the War Remnants Museum is a must-see.

Landscapes

If you’re someone who loves the Great Outdoors, Vietnam is the place to go as it moves into its summer season! Visit the rice fields of Sapa, with a background of some incredible mountains to set the scene. Or take to the coast of Ha Long Bay and enjoy the emerald waters and stunning rocks that rise out of the water. Wherever you end up, Vietnam has some amazing landscapes to offer this winter.

Food

Vietnam’s cuisine is world-renowned and blends Southeast Asian ingredients with a French influence. Pho is a dish that has gained international appreciation but is best enjoyed at its source. The Banh Mi sandwich, which combines traditional Vietnamese flavors with a French baguette, is a delicious street food snack that you must not miss!

]]> When you’re in Japan, it’s not difficult to find restaurants with delicious food. The problem is when you’re there for the first time and not sure where to start. Here are three amazing foods you shouldn’t miss while in Japan—start from there and see where it takes you.

Sushi

It’s true that you can get sushi pretty much anywhere in the world these days, but don’t miss a chance to try it in Japan. You can get many different varieties, like nigiri-zushi that’s the signature dish of Tokyo. If your travel budget allows it, try sushi at some high-end restaurant for an experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

Kaiseki

Kaiseki is a multi-course dinner you can have in Japanese restaurants. It’s a unique experience where every step is carefully planned. From ingredients, preparation, to the presentation of the food, kaiseki is a whole ritual that’s meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. The ingredients are always at the height of flavor and freshness and they’re seasoned subtly. The table setting complements the ingredients and is never the same.

Sake

Sake, known as nihonshu in Japan, is an alcoholic beverage made from rice, water, and kōji, an ingredient that helps fermentation. Sake is as old as the history of Japan and has an important role in many traditional rituals like wedding ceremonies.

]]> One of the best things about traveling is getting to try many new foods and explore cuisines of different countries. Every place in the world has its own amazing dishes and here are some we believe everyone should try—and are actually worth a visit to the country they originated from.

Japan: Fugu

Fugu is a controversial pufferfish that’s extremely poisonous unless prepared in the right way. If you have a chance to try it in a restaurant, don’t hesitate. Chefs who prepare fugu must undergo years of special training before they can get a license. They are then able to prepare the fish in many ways and turn it into a delicious, exclusive meal.

Cambodia: Fried Spider

You can try fried spider across Cambodia but it’s a specialty in the town of Skun in the Kampong Cham Province. There are many street vendors who sell deep-fried tarantula spiders in garlic oil that are actually a crunchy snack. Cambodians believe that eating fried spiders can increase your beauty.

Mexico: Escamoles

What looks like a grain salad at first is actually a dish made with ant larvae. It’s also called insect caviar and is considered a delicacy in Mexico. Escamoles date back to the Aztec time. They taste slightly nutty and can be found in dishes like tacos and omelets or served on their own.

But there is another kind of a food traveler – the food adventurist looking for an uncommon feast and the world offers many types of food that you will think twice before putting in your mouth.

These are 5 of the most bizarre foods that you can find globally.

Frog Legs (France and East Asia)

Frogs are maybe the last thing that comes to mind when thinking of delicious meat, but this delicacy often finds its way on the dining tables in France and East Asia.

Surstromming (Sweden)

Basically a fermented herring, this food originates in Sweden and is famous for its unbelievably bad smell which made opening a surstromming can a challenge on YouTube.

Century Egg (China)

A treat only for the most adventurous ones, this Chinese delicacy is an egg that has been kept in a mixture of ash and clay for a couple of months turning the yolk green.

Haggis (Scotland)

No list of weird meals is complete without the famous Scottish haggis. This delicacy consists of a minced mixture of sheep internal organs mixed with vegetables and spices and prepared inside of a sheep’s stomach.

]]> No matter which city you’re visiting, you must try at least one traditional dish or street food to experience the magic of the city. It’s the best way to experience the energy of the place and add taste to your adventures. Today we have some food that you need to try if you’re ever in Rio de Janeiro. 

Tapioca 

Made from the cassava root, tapioca is a great alternative for bread and ideal for people who try to avoid gluten. You can find the special flour at supermarkets and make it by yourself, or you can buy it from one of the mobile stalls in the center of the city. It looks like a pancake and you can make it salty or sweet, as you wish. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0oaETDljHM/

Feijoada 

Feijoada is a mix of black beans, pieces of meat which are usually pork, sometimes just ribs, meaty chunks, and sausages. It usually goes with rice, kale, and farofa, with some squeezed oranges on top. Sounds weird, but it’s very popular in Brazil. 

Açai 

This berry is getting more and more popular not only in Rio but in the whole world.  Yet, people in Rio know how to eat right, so they consume the purple berry with strawberries or bananas and granola.  

View this post on Instagram

Today is #SustainableGastronomyDay. #Açai is not just a #superfood. It's hope for families rebuilding life after war.  After the Peace Accord ended decades of brutal civil war in Colombia, families returned to farms to rebuild life. Generations had been on the run from war and gang violence, never able to stay in one place for long due to danger.  When they came home, they found ancestral rainforests badly damaged by decades of illegal deforestation, war between FARC and the government, and coca fields that increased gang violence & cocaine trafficking.  Over 3,000 farming families decided to take advantage of #foodbowl trends. They grew #Açai through CorpoCampo as a way to save their rainforest and earn livable wages. Today, CorpoCampo #Açai are found in #healthfood sections of supermarkets across Europe, Latin America & North America.

]]> Japan is a mystical country with an alluring blend of ancient and modern marvels. With a rich culture, futuristic cities, and internationally renowned cuisine, it will have something for everyone. Here are three reasons why Japan should be on your travel radar.

Culture

Japan’s rich cultural heritage is a testament to its centuries-old traditions, captivating visitors with a glimpse into a world of refined customs and artistic expressions. Kyoto, with its historic temples and traditional tea houses, allows travelers to step back in time. Witness the graceful art of the tea ceremony, explore ancient Shinto shrines, and immerse yourself in the beauty of cherry blossoms during spring. The contrast between the serenity of traditional gardens and the bustling energy of modern Tokyo creates a harmonious blend that defines the unique allure of Japan.

Futuristic Cities

In contrast to its deep-rooted traditions, Japan stands at the forefront of technological innovation, offering a glimpse into the future. Tokyo, a sprawling metropolis, showcases towering skyscrapers, neon-lit streets, and cutting-edge technology. From the high-speed Shinkansen trains to interactive robotics exhibitions, Japan seamlessly balances its respect for tradition with a pioneering spirit.

Incredible Cuisine

Japanese cuisine, renowned worldwide for its precision, artistry, and diverse flavors, promises a culinary journey like no other. Indulge in sushi crafted by skilled chefs in Tokyo’s Tsukiji Fish Market, savor authentic ramen in Kyoto’s historic districts, and experience the art of kaiseki dining. Whether it’s the delicate flavors of tempura or the umami-rich taste of matcha-infused sweets, Japan’s culinary scene offers a symphony of tastes that celebrate the country’s culinary mastery.

]]> Vietnam is a fantastic country to visit- it has some vibrant cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, as well as some of the most amazing landscapes and some fantastic cuisine to try. It is also entering its summertime so you can escape the dark and cold this winter. Here are three reasons you should visit Vietnam this winter.

Cities

The cities of Vietnam are vibrant hubs that have elements of history and modernity at every corner. Visit the Old Quarter of Hanoi and walk through ancient streets and old Vietnamese architecture. Hanoi also boasts a wide variety of trendy restaurants and cafes, and the streets are filled with atmosphere as many strangers come together to play games. Ho Chi Minh City in the south offers a lively urban landscape and if you are interested in your history, the War Remnants Museum is a must-see.

Landscapes

If you’re someone who loves the Great Outdoors, Vietnam is the place to go as it moves into its summer season! Visit the rice fields of Sapa, with a background of some incredible mountains to set the scene. Or take to the coast of Ha Long Bay and enjoy the emerald waters and stunning rocks that rise out of the water. Wherever you end up, Vietnam has some amazing landscapes to offer this winter.

Food

Vietnam’s cuisine is world-renowned and blends Southeast Asian ingredients with a French influence. Pho is a dish that has gained international appreciation but is best enjoyed at its source. The Banh Mi sandwich, which combines traditional Vietnamese flavors with a French baguette, is a delicious street food snack that you must not miss!

]]> When you’re in Japan, it’s not difficult to find restaurants with delicious food. The problem is when you’re there for the first time and not sure where to start. Here are three amazing foods you shouldn’t miss while in Japan—start from there and see where it takes you.

Sushi

It’s true that you can get sushi pretty much anywhere in the world these days, but don’t miss a chance to try it in Japan. You can get many different varieties, like nigiri-zushi that’s the signature dish of Tokyo. If your travel budget allows it, try sushi at some high-end restaurant for an experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

Kaiseki

Kaiseki is a multi-course dinner you can have in Japanese restaurants. It’s a unique experience where every step is carefully planned. From ingredients, preparation, to the presentation of the food, kaiseki is a whole ritual that’s meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. The ingredients are always at the height of flavor and freshness and they’re seasoned subtly. The table setting complements the ingredients and is never the same.

Sake

Sake, known as nihonshu in Japan, is an alcoholic beverage made from rice, water, and kōji, an ingredient that helps fermentation. Sake is as old as the history of Japan and has an important role in many traditional rituals like wedding ceremonies.

]]> One of the best things about traveling is getting to try many new foods and explore cuisines of different countries. Every place in the world has its own amazing dishes and here are some we believe everyone should try—and are actually worth a visit to the country they originated from.

Japan: Fugu

Fugu is a controversial pufferfish that’s extremely poisonous unless prepared in the right way. If you have a chance to try it in a restaurant, don’t hesitate. Chefs who prepare fugu must undergo years of special training before they can get a license. They are then able to prepare the fish in many ways and turn it into a delicious, exclusive meal.

Cambodia: Fried Spider

You can try fried spider across Cambodia but it’s a specialty in the town of Skun in the Kampong Cham Province. There are many street vendors who sell deep-fried tarantula spiders in garlic oil that are actually a crunchy snack. Cambodians believe that eating fried spiders can increase your beauty.

Mexico: Escamoles

What looks like a grain salad at first is actually a dish made with ant larvae. It’s also called insect caviar and is considered a delicacy in Mexico. Escamoles date back to the Aztec time. They taste slightly nutty and can be found in dishes like tacos and omelets or served on their own.

But there is another kind of a food traveler – the food adventurist looking for an uncommon feast and the world offers many types of food that you will think twice before putting in your mouth.

These are 5 of the most bizarre foods that you can find globally.

Frog Legs (France and East Asia)

Frogs are maybe the last thing that comes to mind when thinking of delicious meat, but this delicacy often finds its way on the dining tables in France and East Asia.

Surstromming (Sweden)

Basically a fermented herring, this food originates in Sweden and is famous for its unbelievably bad smell which made opening a surstromming can a challenge on YouTube.

Century Egg (China)

A treat only for the most adventurous ones, this Chinese delicacy is an egg that has been kept in a mixture of ash and clay for a couple of months turning the yolk green.

Haggis (Scotland)

No list of weird meals is complete without the famous Scottish haggis. This delicacy consists of a minced mixture of sheep internal organs mixed with vegetables and spices and prepared inside of a sheep’s stomach.

Chipá 

In the simplest way possible, Chipá is a bread roll made from eggs, cheese and Cassava. There are many variations, like chipá guazú that’s more like a cake with corn, milk and cheese served with Asado. Nevertheless, you can find almost every variation at any street food stall.

]]> No matter which city you’re visiting, you must try at least one traditional dish or street food to experience the magic of the city. It’s the best way to experience the energy of the place and add taste to your adventures. Today we have some food that you need to try if you’re ever in Rio de Janeiro. 

Tapioca 

Made from the cassava root, tapioca is a great alternative for bread and ideal for people who try to avoid gluten. You can find the special flour at supermarkets and make it by yourself, or you can buy it from one of the mobile stalls in the center of the city. It looks like a pancake and you can make it salty or sweet, as you wish.

Feijoada 

Feijoada is a mix of black beans, pieces of meat which are usually pork, sometimes just ribs, meaty chunks, and sausages. It usually goes with rice, kale, and farofa, with some squeezed oranges on top. Sounds weird, but it’s very popular in Brazil. 

Açai 

This berry is getting more and more popular not only in Rio but in the whole world.  Yet, people in Rio know how to eat right, so they consume the purple berry with strawberries or bananas and granola.

Today is #SustainableGastronomyDay. #Açai is not just a #superfood. It's hope for families rebuilding life after war.  After the Peace Accord ended decades of brutal civil war in Colombia, families returned to farms to rebuild life. Generations had been on the run from war and gang violence, never able to stay in one place for long due to danger.  When they came home, they found ancestral rainforests badly damaged by decades of illegal deforestation, war between FARC and the government, and coca fields that increased gang violence & cocaine trafficking.  Over 3,000 farming families decided to take advantage of #foodbowl trends. They grew #Açai through CorpoCampo as a way to save their rainforest and earn livable wages. Today, CorpoCampo #Açai are found in #healthfood sections of supermarkets across Europe, Latin America & North America.
