Food Tourism: Sink Your Teeth into the World
For many people, some of the best memories in life involve food. Memorable family dinners during holidays, that sea bass you had on a cruise to the Bahamas, and the baked Alaska you dined on the night your fiancé proposed to you. Travel also creates significant memories: cycling through the Alps, taking the train through France, and riding horseback across Iceland. If you enjoy experiencing food and travel, consider putting the two together as food tourism. One such food tourism trip could take you from playing online at home to traveling to Vegas and savouring shrimp cocktail at the internationally-renowned Carnival World Buffet. A Love Affair Between Food and Travel Why do food and travel go together like peanut butter and jelly? This perfect pairing works because when you think of Italy, you imagine dining on the finest Neapolitan-style pizza in Naples. You think of France and imagine eating exceptional Camembert and a fresh baguette as you tour Marseilles on foot.

There are plenty of people who want to travel the world and gain exciting new experiences and perspectives from the places they visit. That said, all too often potential travels are put off or even not undertaken at all for a very simple reason – the traveller in question has no one to go with nor the means to sustain themselves on their adventure. But should travelling – with all of the benefits it brings – be only for those who can find a suitable companion who also has the income to be able to afford it? Thanks to the power of modern social networking, a Melbourne-based business has hit upon the idea of getting people to hook up with one another when travelling based on a remarkably simple premise. According to Friend Theory, the start-up enterprise concerned, everyone in the world has a connection with everyone else, albeit through six degrees of separation. So, if you looked at everyone in your phone's contact list and then counted every name in each of
[Read more...]Fast Food for a Fast Lifestyle
It’s undeniable that, back in ancient times, there were no such treats as donuts, fried chicken or hamburgers. Whether you believe in evolution or not, there can be no arguing that our ancestors would have only eaten what was readily available to them – animal meat, plants, nuts, seeds and, in some instances, roots and tubers. The birth of agriculture gave rise to the concept of mass production and processing of food. Products like rice, wheat and grain were not only affordable to cultivate and harvest, but the products we were able to make from them were easy to store, incredibly versatile and, well, admittedly delicious. Modern man no longer needed to hunt and gather resources for nourishment, and the carbohydrate content of the aforementioned foods meant we needed less to feel fuller, for longer. Fast forward a few hundred years and carb-rich, processed foods continue to dominate the global food scene, with many products targeting the middle class, with a focus on the

Flying isn’t exactly fun. At best, you can hope for a tiny bottle of vodka and a rom-com to help pass the time. That said, soon you might just be able to win a jackpot on a plane. You may have already thought, "If cruise ships ?" It's a good point, actually. In future, it will be possible to access in-flight Wi-Fi when you are flying across the world which should make the whole business of flying less tedious. Of course, the aviation industry will rightly only allow people to use wireless devices once safety concerns have been fully tested. No one wants to crash just because their social media posts have interfered with a crucial part of the plane's operation, after all. All of which might lead you to think about crashing.
