Hello Dolls,
Today we are going to be discussing two of my favorite topics which is *drum roll please*…. FOOD and TRAVEL! Besides being a human necessity, food is a bonding experience that brings us together. Trying foods from around the world is a great way to explore and immerse yourself in new cultures and learn new recipes. No matter what city you’re in around the world, you’d be cheating yourself of a great experience if you don’t try out new foods from that area. So without further ado, here is a list of some of the greatest food tours around the world.
Food Tour New Mexico
Food Tour New Mexico was founded by local foodie Nick Peña. This culturally rich food tour has stops in both Albuquerque and Santa Fe. New Mexico is known for its beautiful Spanish architecture and it’s mix of delicious cuisines. The local tour guides will show you where all of the great eats are around town. Besides the great eats, Food Tour New Mexico provides visitors with an amazing crash course on New Mexico’s history and what each dish means to the region.
