GoTravel is about getting you on the road and keeping you there. Whether for the aspiring traveler, fieldwork, or service volunteer, I hope to offer practical insights that explain how to live and thrive abroad.

Food & Cuisine

Food is an important part of everyone’s everyday life, but it especially comes a thing of importance to the world traveler. At home, I would rarely give thought what I was going to eat for the day, (1) because everything is familiar (I know what I like, what I don’t, what’s cheap, etc.), and, (2) because, at least where I’m from, food is everywhere all the time and there are always a whole myriad of choices. As you travel, food becomes a central concern each day on the road.

Life Through Travel

Life Through Travel is about the holistic travel experience. How do you address the wants and needs of a person on the road? We can only answer this by looking at the whole person. In this section, I've posted on everything from my travel dreams (that I hope will inspire your own!) to holding up while having health problems. Refer to this section for tips on eating, sleep, moving, or all around living abroad.
