]]>Eating, one might argue, is education, and food—as the focus of celebrations and casual get-togethers—has a way of bringing us together. When it comes to traveling, experiencing different dishes can shed light on other people’s way of life, their cultural values, and their identities.
No one understands this notion better than traveling duo Mark and Elizabeth Rudd. The couple behind travel and food blog Compass & Fork, their brand marries food and travel together seamlessly. Their website includes dedicated sections for recipes and travel tips, with selected blog posts such as “How to Cook Greek Lamb Roast at Home” and a “Guide to the Fabulous Melbourne Markets”.
“We tend to be independent, active travelers,” the couple shared in an interview with Travel Awaits. “Our travel style is affordable luxury. You won’t find hostels or budget travel, but you’ll find great value, unique accommodation, and experiences.”

]]>The post Belém: Lisbon’s Most Interesting Neighborhood appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>This history is evident in the Belém neighborhood of the city, located a few kilometers west of the city center. On the banks of the Tejo River, a small neighborhood of the city hosts a lot of fascinating landmarks and history.
The Torre de Belém is a tower that was built in the 1500s to guard the city and serve as the “goodbye” point to bid adieu to Portuguese sailors that traveled the world. It can still be visited and climbed today.
Also related to the Age of Discovery is the Monument to the Discoveries, a monument honoring Portuguese sailors and discoverers. A short elevator ride to the top provides you with a beautiful panoramic view of the city and coast.
Across the street from the monument is the Jeronimos Monastery, another must visit. This gorgeous religious complex features an awe-inspiring cathedral and is the resting place of explorer Vasco da Gama.
#PasteisDeBelem … Hoje já sou mais controlada… Mas lembro q a primeira vez que vim, comi 6 seguidos 
Finally, be sure to visit Pasteis de Belém to visit your trip to the neighborhood. This bakery has been selling Pasteis de nata, a delicious custard tart that originated in the monastery next door, since the early 1800s.

]]>The post Any Coffee Lover Has to Visit These Cities appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>If so, there are plenty of cities throughout the world which are renowned for their coffee cultures. These are our picks for the top cities than any coffee lover must travel to.
Vienna, Austria
Vienna has a crazy coffee shop culture. The residents of this city are wild for going out to have a cup of joe with their friends. So much so, in fact, that the city’s coffee culture has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage good.
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Ethiopia is the home of some of the world’s best coffee plantations. In the country’s capital city of Addis Ababa, you can find dozens of coffee shops that exquisitely prepare cups of Ethiopian coffee.
Havana, Cuba
Ever had a Cuban coffee? If not, book the next flight you can to visit the capital of Cuba. Here, coffee is served very strong and very sweet. You’ll love it as you sip it under the shade of a palm tree.
Portland, Oregon, United States
The United States’ coffee capital has to be this sleepy Pacific Nothwestern city. Here, artisan coffee roasters brew and serve coffee to the sleepy masses. This city is coffee creativity at its best.

]]>The post Here’s How to Find Great Local Restaurants When Traveling appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>If you’re going to eat out while traveling, why not try to find options that are more local and better quality? It helps the local economy and also gives you a better taste of the region’s cuisine.
Here are some tips for finding great local restaurants to try while traveling.
Consult with Internet Reviews
One of the best ways to find a great place to eat is to see what types of reviews people have left online. Websites like Google Maps and Yelp provide users with the opinions of others that have eaten there, helping you find good options and avoid bad ones.

TAG A FRIEND WHO LOVES TACOS Ask the Locals
If you know someone living in the city or region that you’re visiting, ask them where you should eat out! If not, it’s easy to ask a cab driver, someone in a bar, or a hotel receptionist where they’d suggest for a good, local meal.
Don’t Rely on Guide Books
Guide books are often full of restaurant recommendations, but they aren’t always useful or good. Tourist trap restaurants sometimes pay these publications for “advertising,” ensuring that their eateries will show up in these books. They can help, but don’t rely on them completely.
Avoid Places with Street Advertising
A good way to know that a restaurant is a tourist trap is if it has showy street advertising. Does a place have a huge, colorful, picture-filled menu on the sidewalk right outside of its front door? Is there a pushy host inviting diners in? It’s probably not the best option.

]]>The post If You Go to Singapore, You Have to Try These Local Desserts! appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Pandan Cake
Made from the leaves of the Pandan plant, the interior is incredibly light and fluffy, and also has a green tint from the leaves! It’s a staple dessert in Singapore, and Pure Pandan is one of the most famous places to have it. Get there and get yourself a slice of heaven.
Apom Berkuah
Although these look like just some pretty pancakes, apom berkuah is actually a totally different kind of pancake like you’ve never had before. They’re made from fermented rice flour and have a beautiful blue design in the center from a special flour used in the recipe. It’s not as sweet of a dessert but comes with a really nice banana sauce on the side.
Durian Pengat
This dessert is something you will either love or hate. Durian is a really strong fruit that people say tastes amazing or smells like garbage. But, while it’s in season, give it a try in this traditional mousse called durian pengat! It’s made with coconut milk as well, so it masks the flavor slightly.

]]>The post Travel to These Countries for the Best Bread in the World! appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Slovenia
Because of Slovenia’s border with Italy, in some regions, you might find that the gastronomy is similar to that of Italy, like in their pogaca bread which is similar to a foccacia.
However, there is a difference that makes bread in Slovenia that much better. The small country has 24 different gastronomic regions, in a country that only has a population of about 2 million people.
Bread has also been used in Slovenian culture for both pagan and religious purposes, so bread is essential to this country.
#sanjinakuhinja#pogača#domaćakuhinja#domaćejedomaće#domaćejenajboljeMorocco
Morocco, although it’s in North Africa, shares a lot of culinary similarities with neighboring Middle Eastern countries like Lebanon or Syria.
In all these countries, a bread called khobz is something you will see all over the place. It’s a type of flatbread that’s similar to a pita, but usually thicker, and super delicious.
South Africa
In South Africa, pot brood, or bread baked in an iron pot, is the bread of choice for most locals. It takes on many different flavors and is only enhanced by cooking it over a grill or some type of open flame.

]]>The post Olive Lovers will Die and go to Heaven in These Countries appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Israel
Olives are one of the 7 native species to Israel and have been on the land for thousands of years, so it’s only natural that their olives live up to the hype. There are so many different varieties, shapes, and colors of olives in Israel, but generally the air on the saltier side, which only makes them more delicious.
Spain
While Spain is known for its olives, the taste of them isn’t particularly strong or salty, which is especially good for people who don’t love olives. Rather, the olive oil that is produced from the olives is out of this world, and really some of the best you’ll ever taste.
Greece
Everyone knows that a Greek salad isn’t complete with olives, but the tradition of olives is very real and authentic when you visit there. There are so many beautiful varieties of Greek olives, so whether you’d prefer a younger, slightly bitter and spicy Halkidiki olive, or a classic kalamata, Greece will not disappoint in the olive department.
