3When traveling, I push myself to eat local food more often then not. Even in my local country; traveling to different cities, I try to support local mom and pop food restaurants because they delivered something unique to that area. I get to learn the history about the restaurants / food creators and then have stories to tell others and learn about the food and why it is made the way it is made. 

Do you tend to eat at local restaurants more than fast food? I find that most traveler eat fast food because they don’t give themselves enough time to explore. They try to jam pack everything into their travel and therefore forcing them to eat fast food to make sure it fits into the schedule. I urge you if that is the way you are doing; try to change it a little bit and schedule more time to eat local food. You will enjoy the location more and create so much more memories and learn so much more about the area.
