]]> Breakfast is one of the best perks that hotels have in store, but do hostels offer this amenity, as well? Hostel breakfast comes with its own set of rules, and here are five things you should prepare yourself for if you’re staying at a hostel.

Not Always Available

Breakfast isn’t a regular part of the hostel offer, but some hostels have it in store. You should always make sure to check if this perk is available because some hostels are worth paying extra for free breakfast.

Not Always Free

Hostel breakfast isn’t always free, and it’s up to you to decide if it’s worth paying for this perk, or if you’d prefer preparing your own food.

Modest Offer

Don’t expect a lavish buffet when staying at a hostel. Even when breakfast is available, it will usually offer modest options, and you should check out the reviews to find out what it has in store.

Limited Timing

If you decide to pay extra for breakfast, keep in mind that it’s available for a limited time only. If you’re planning to sleep in or leave the hostel pretty early, you might miss it, so it’s not worth paying in advance.

Making Your Own

Even if free breakfast isn’t available, the good thing about hostels is that you can usually make your own. You’ll find a shared kitchen where guests can prepare their own meals in most hostels.

]]> The general rule is that you can’t visit Belgium without trying Belgian fries. That is especially the case in Brussels, which appears to have a friterie on almost every corner and where searching for good fries is an easy task because there are no bad ones.

However, if you don’t want to settle for just good fries and want the best, check out these places.

Master Frites

Master Frites is lauded for its simple approach to Belgian fries. They are cooked to perfection and served with tasty and unusual sauces. For particularly hungry customers, the place also serves amazing burgers. 

Frites Atelier

Frites Atelier takes fries to the next level. Their thick-cut fries are crunchy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside.

Also, the portions are quite generous and will leave you feeling like you just had a full meal.

]]> When we think of top culinary destinations in the world, Finland isn’t exactly the first country to come to mind, but that doesn’t mean that it’s without its fair share of epicurean gems. While fish and meat typically serve as staples, Finnish cuisine as a whole includes a wide variety of ingredients that speak to the local tradition and landscape. If you’re a foodie with plans to visit Finland in the works, read on to learn more about some must-try Finnish dishes. 

Squeaky Cheese

Known locally as “leipäjuusto,” squeaky cheese is a fresh cheese with a mild flavor and a distinctive, slightly rubbery texture. It’s traditionally served in pizza-shaped slices with cloudberry jam, some cinnamon sugar, or even in a cup of hot coffee, though some restaurants use it as an alternative to feta in salads as well. 

Kalakukko

Finland’s position in the Baltic Sea means that seafood is a mainstay in its cuisine, one of the most popular dishes being a savory fish pie called kalakukko. While variations of kalakukko exist throughout the country, they all consist of some type of local fish baked inside a loaf of rye bread. If you’re feeling brave, enjoy it with a tall glass of buttermilk for a traditional Finnish experience.

Pulla

No food tour would be complete without a little dessert, and when it comes to Finnish treats, you can’t go wrong with korvapuusti. Literally translated as “slapped ears,” the Finnish take on cinnamon rolls features a cardamom-infused dough and a sprinkle of pearl sugar for added sweetness. Finns love korvapuusti so much that October 4th is celebrated annually as Korvapussti Day.

]]> Ready for a road trip through the Midwest? Well, make sure you bring your appetite along! Here are five quintessential Midwestern foods that you must try to make your trip unforgettable. 

Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza, Illinois

This iconic dish, characterized by its high, flaky crust and generous layers of cheese, toppings, and sauce, is a true representation of Chicago’s rich culinary heritage. 

Juicy Lucy, Minnesota

The Juicy Lucy is a delicious twist on the classic American cheeseburger and a must-try in Minnesota. What sets it apart is the cheese, which is stuffed inside the meat patty instead of being placed on top. 

Detroit-Style Coney Dogs, Michigan

A Detroit-style Coney Dog consists of a beef hot dog nestled in a soft bun, smothered in a savory meat sauce, and topped with yellow mustard and chopped onions. Yum!

Buckeyes, Ohio

Named after the nut from the state’s official tree, these treats are made from a smooth, creamy peanut butter mixture dipped in chocolate, leaving a small circle of peanut butter exposed. 

Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, Indiana

The pork tenderloin sandwich is something of an Indiana institution. This simple yet satisfying dish features a breaded and fried pork cutlet. It’s crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and utterly delicious.

]]> Finding a great place to eat in another country usually isn’t too hard. You can check out the reviews online, get through some “best of “articles, and get a pretty good idea of the spots you should be visiting and ones to avoid.

However, if you want to ensure that the food will be awesome and you end up with a full belly, you are better off using some of these creative tips.

Follow the Crowd During Lunch Break

One of the best ways to get a feel of great places to eat is to follow the crowd during lunch break. If you are walking the street around noon and see a food joint packed up with a diverse crowd of customers, you should check it out. The locals who work nearby probably eat there all the time and never get bored of that food, meaning it has to be special.

Use the Power of Social Media

Social media is another great way to find amazing eats. Use TikTok and Instagram to follow local food content creators and see where common social media users there like to eat. As a bonus, you will get a feel of the place and see what the food looks like thanks to pictures and videos.

Ask for Recommendations

Do you have a friend or a member of the family who has already visited? Ask them for recommendations. Alternatively, chat with the locals and get their opinions. If multiple people recommend the same place, it has to be good. This is also a great way to find hidden gems.

]]> When we think of top culinary destinations in the world, Finland isn’t exactly the first country to come to mind, but that doesn’t mean that it’s without its fair share of epicurean gems. While fish and meat typically serve as staples, Finnish cuisine as a whole includes a wide variety of ingredients that speak to the local tradition and landscape. If you’re a foodie with plans to visit Finland in the works, read on to learn more about some must-try Finnish dishes. 

Squeaky Cheese

Known locally as “leipäjuusto,” squeaky cheese is a fresh cheese with a mild flavor and a distinctive, slightly rubbery texture. It’s traditionally served in pizza-shaped slices with cloudberry jam, some cinnamon sugar, or even in a cup of hot coffee, though some restaurants use it as an alternative to feta in salads as well. 

Kalakukko

Finland’s position in the Baltic Sea means that seafood is a mainstay in its cuisine, one of the most popular dishes being a savory fish pie called kalakukko. While variations of kalakukko exist throughout the country, they all consist of some type of local fish baked inside a loaf of rye bread. If you’re feeling brave, enjoy it with a tall glass of buttermilk for a traditional Finnish experience.

Pulla

No food tour would be complete without a little dessert, and when it comes to Finnish treats, you can’t go wrong with korvapuusti. Literally translated as “slapped ears,” the Finnish take on cinnamon rolls features a cardamom-infused dough and a sprinkle of pearl sugar for added sweetness. Finns love korvapuusti so much that October 4th is celebrated annually as Korvapussti Day.

]]> Ready for a road trip through the Midwest? Well, make sure you bring your appetite along! Here are five quintessential Midwestern foods that you must try to make your trip unforgettable. 

Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza, Illinois

This iconic dish, characterized by its high, flaky crust and generous layers of cheese, toppings, and sauce, is a true representation of Chicago’s rich culinary heritage. 

Juicy Lucy, Minnesota

The Juicy Lucy is a delicious twist on the classic American cheeseburger and a must-try in Minnesota. What sets it apart is the cheese, which is stuffed inside the meat patty instead of being placed on top. 

Detroit-Style Coney Dogs, Michigan

A Detroit-style Coney Dog consists of a beef hot dog nestled in a soft bun, smothered in a savory meat sauce, and topped with yellow mustard and chopped onions. Yum!

Buckeyes, Ohio

Named after the nut from the state’s official tree, these treats are made from a smooth, creamy peanut butter mixture dipped in chocolate, leaving a small circle of peanut butter exposed. 

Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, Indiana

The pork tenderloin sandwich is something of an Indiana institution. This simple yet satisfying dish features a breaded and fried pork cutlet. It’s crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and utterly delicious.

]]> In Mexico City, tacos are a way of life. From street stands to sit-down restaurants, the city is brimming with taco options that can make choosing overwhelming. Join us as we explore the crème de la crème of CDMX’s taco scene, where tradition meets innovation in the most delectable ways.

El Huequito: The Taco Institution

Established in 1959, El Huequito has been serving up some of the best tacos al pastor in the city for decades. Their secret lies in the perfect balance of marinated pork, pineapple, and handmade tortillas. Don’t miss their signature green sauce, which adds an extra kick to every bite.

Los Cocuyos: Late-Night Taco Heaven

For those midnight cravings, Los Cocuyos is the place to be. Open 24/7, this small stand in the historic center offers a variety of meat options, including suadero, tripa, and lengua. The long lines are a testament to their popularity and quality.

Taquería Orinoco: Norteño-Style Tacos

If you’re in the mood for northern Mexican flavors, head to Taquería Orinoco. Their specialty is the taco de chicharrón de queso, a crispy cheese shell filled with your choice of meat. The flour tortillas and grilled meats are a delightful change from the typical CDMX taco scene.

]]> Finding a great place to eat in another country usually isn’t too hard. You can check out the reviews online, get through some “best of “articles, and get a pretty good idea of the spots you should be visiting and ones to avoid.

However, if you want to ensure that the food will be awesome and you end up with a full belly, you are better off using some of these creative tips.

Follow the Crowd During Lunch Break

One of the best ways to get a feel of great places to eat is to follow the crowd during lunch break. If you are walking the street around noon and see a food joint packed up with a diverse crowd of customers, you should check it out. The locals who work nearby probably eat there all the time and never get bored of that food, meaning it has to be special.

Use the Power of Social Media

Social media is another great way to find amazing eats. Use TikTok and Instagram to follow local food content creators and see where common social media users there like to eat. As a bonus, you will get a feel of the place and see what the food looks like thanks to pictures and videos.

Ask for Recommendations

Do you have a friend or a member of the family who has already visited? Ask them for recommendations. Alternatively, chat with the locals and get their opinions. If multiple people recommend the same place, it has to be good. This is also a great way to find hidden gems.
