If you care about the world, you’ll care about what you eat.
We’re vegetarian travellers eating everything from Taiwanese street food to Costa Rican rice and beans. We want to know where our food comes from and always try to eat ethically sourced and local produce. We often chow down on vegan food.

If you spend any time at all in Thailand, or any Asian country, you’ll immediately notice that rice is essential to the local diet. Many people, especially from the older generations and in the countryside, eat some form of rice…

I have quite an affinity with spice. Ginger, turmeric, chilli, pepper, cinnamon, vanilla, I love them all. When it comes to food, people often say that I over spice, but I just can’t get enough of the distinct flavours and the…
