Our Travel Updates

Welcome to our journal collection of updates we provide as we travel. We are developing this website as we move around the world and want to take the time to reflect on our thoughts regarding food, culture and conversation throughout our world travel. This is developed in conjunction with the informational documents that are being produced to help people travel to different destinations.

The articles on this page show our realities that come from traveling the world and trying to learn from different cultures. You can use the search above to look for topics that interest you within these articles or the others that are on this website.
