Articles from the Recipe for Travel

These articles follow the adventures of the culinary xenophile on each leg of her two-year round-the-world trip, which began as a short vacation.

If you've arrived here from somewhere else, be sure to read the Adventures to get the full flavour of how it all started. If you're looking for practical "how-to" travel planning tips to create your own "recipe for travel", visit the Around the World Travel Guide.

Street Food in Thailand and Tips For Your Tummy

Culinary xenophile that I am, food features large in all of my travels, and because the Recipe for Travel is for food and travel lovers and is in its early stages, many of these articles focus almost entirely on "eating and travelling in...", and not all of them are ready for publication just yet.

Return to the Recipe for Travel soon for more fun and inspirational stories about what it is like to 'wing it around the world'. If you would like to stay tuned in as I release new articles, including some of the best 'accidental' hitchhiking adventures you'll ever hear, click here for your options.

A little too close to home, but at least a little warmer. Another 'accidental' hitchhiking adventure lands me in the passenger seat of a two-seater airplane across the South Island.

Last-stop Fiji:
Choose one of the 320 islands to 'rest up' on before heading home from your round-the-world adventure, but make sure their boats have navigational tools to get you back to the mainland for your flight!

Home to Canada, but not quite home, yet:
I can now answer all those New Zealanders I met along the way: Yes, the west coast of Canada is a bit like parts of New Zealand!
