The Food Of Saxony

Giant steins of beer, massive pretzels and pork knuckles the size of your head–Saxony has the large German beer garden fare. However, Saxony also has fine dining, with Michelin-starred restaurants and fine German rieslings. We sampled a little bit of all to discover Saxony’s food culture.

Cool Lodges of Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea: The Highlands

Let’s travel to Papua New Guinea! Explore the tribes of Tari, the famous Birds of Paradise and all the adventure of the Highlands.

Food of Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea is unlike any place I’ve ever been! And of course, the food is just as unique. I visited the local market and was blown away by not only the exotic fruits and vegetables, but the entire marketplace ethos! As PNG is remote, most of what you eat is grown, harvested or caught nearby–so it is the true farm to table. Join me as I discover what the locals eat on a food tour of this wild country.
