London is one of the world’s top tourist destinations and when visiting it’s likely you’ll want to try a few places to eat out. Like many major cities, it can be hard to find a truly original restaurant. If you’re tired of the eateries and fancy trying something a little different, here are ten restaurants [...]

The Vegetarian Backpacker
August 2, 2010 – 3:25 pm
When we tell people that we are traveling around the world, the first question I get is, “But, how do you eat?” I was raised a vegetarian, stuck with my vegetarianism through college in the South, the land of vegetables boiled with ham hocks, and wasn’t going to change my eating habits because of [...]
My Guide to Greek Food
May 21, 2010 – 1:01 pm
I’ve never really eaten much Greek food. All I ever knew about it was that it has strange names, gyros are really good, and I like Greek salad. I’m currently in Greece and on this trip I was determined to dig into the local food. So far all my meals have involved traditional Greek food [...]

But, mention Belgium, and most people will be able to at least tell that the beer is good, the chocolate amazing, the waffles delicious, and the [...]
Busting the Budget in Bordeaux
September 9, 2009 – 9:22 pm
I knew Bordeaux was going to be expensive. I was here last year to visit friends and got to experience Bordeaux’s high prices first hand. Coming back, I knew I’d have to budget a lot. Bordeaux is an upscale city- a city for shopping, drinking, and eating. It sits in the center of the world [...]
Valencia without the Oranges
August 29, 2009 – 4:16 pm
Famous for its Oranges, Valencia is located roughly in the middle of Spain’s Mediterranean coast. I wasn’t attracted to Valencia for any reason in particular- I come for the tomato fight in the nearby town of Bunol. However, Valencia is famous in its own right for great seafood, paella, history, and good soccer team.
Given all [...]
Eat Like a King in Bangkok
May 21, 2009 – 1:28 pm
Thailand is known for its delicious food. The country’s capital Bangkok is one of the best to get food- both local and international. This cosmopolitan city has some of the best food from around the world. There’s nothing you can’t get (except Ethiopian as that restaurant recently closed). Whenever I leave Bangkok, I always miss [...]
