Dan and Audrey talk about the “foodprint” of our travel choices—are we open to shifting what/how we eat while spending time abroad?

I’ve met some of my best friends (writing and otherwise) through the gift of Twitter. Isn’t it wild how tweets can lead to new adventures? ✈️💫
For the food on our tables—for the hands near and far that tend, harvest, prepare—we give thanks.
Every meal around the world contains story after story after story...if we stop to listen.
This incredibly skilled worker earns $1.86 per 60 bundles of radishes. She’s done this work for the same employer for more than a decade and has the method down to a science. #WeFeedYou #ThankAFarmworker

Congrats to my #travel friend @michaelturtle on his column in the Australian paper! (So many stories since pasta & @Lamborghini 🏎🍝)
“Regardless of whether you've flown across the world or driven down the coast, there are always opportunities to discover new things.”
From the blog to a metro newspaper! I'm v excited to announce my new column in the @canberratimes!
Each weekend I'll share my travel experiences, with interesting destinations, helpful advice, or thoughts on an issue.

“The call to travel...it’s one that we should trust.” -@CherylStrayed
I followed that call all the way around the planet (a journey rich enough to feed me for a lifetime), and in a way, it led me all the way here to #AWP19 🌏🍽📚

Yes there was a llama on the MAX, TriMet confirms, but there shouldn’t have been bit.ly/2EaTQY6

Leaving tomorrow on a manageable little Pacific Northwest Road Trip. One driver who wants to go straight through. One passenger seat driver who wants to stop half a dozen times (at least!). Two squirmy girls (age two and four). How will it go? #regionalroadtripper

Watching this tonight with my girls, giddy to point out so many familiar spots where Ted and I trekked: Torres del Paine in Chilean Patagonia, the Bolivian salt flats, Machu Picchu in Peru. (Also noteworthy: that cloud forest toad’s crazy 3D camouflage!)

Cleaning out my stash of old @AFARmedia magazines... I can hardly bear to say goodbye to so many gorgeous travel photos. I’d probably wallpaper my house with them if I could.

Nearly seven years ago, I met @archanapram on the www. We traveled the planet at the same time, swapping blog stories and inspirations (and acknowledging the real-life-travel-isn’t-always-glamorous undercurrents).
Today, happy day! We met in person for hugs + doughnuts 💞🍩🌏

Man, oh man. The way it still rings in my ears from the echo chamber of travel blogs. xitter.cf/kaitlincurtice/status/…

Ayup. I feel the same. Possibly in a Grandpa Simpson kind of way. *shakes stick*
I feel like, if the best story you can tell about a place is that it encountered *you*, you're not trying very hard as a travel writer. :)
