Announcing My New Website: Eating The Globe- A New Travel Food Blog
Yes, I have started a new travel food blog called Eating The Globe. I have always said that menu’s are my maps. I tend to visit places for the food (and the beaches). So, I thought it was long overdue that I start bringing you my advice on the food in the areas that I visit. Yes, I have a Food section on this blog, and I will continue to keep you updated here as well, but I want to fill an entire website with advice about the food of the places that I visit, tell you about the markets, and the food stories. I want to do more. So much more…

San Miguel de Allende Food: 4 Places For Sweet Treats

I am loving all the San Miguel de Allende food, but my particular favorite are all the amazing desserts that San Miguel has to offer.

San Miguel de Allende Restaurants: 7 Cheap Eats
There are many wonderful San Miguel de Allende restaurants to choose from. Here are my recommendations for the cheap eats where the food is usually even better than what you will pay at some of the more expensive restaurants in town which cater to tourists. ¡Buen provecho! 1. La Valentina Antojitos- This place is right off of the Jardin and is super cheap. They have great posole, flautas and soups, usually between 35-60 pesos. ($3-$5). It’s one of my favorite places to eat when activities are going on in the Jardin, as you don’t have to walk very far to get something to eat. I also love that I’m usually…

The Worst Cup of Coffee Ever-Exploring The Coffee Shops Of Mangarr, Belitung
Mangarr is known as the city of 1,000 coffee shops. This made me very excited because I don’t just love coffee, I pretty much worship coffee. At home, I order exotic green coffee beans like Gesha from Guatemala, I roast it myself, and I brew it in a vacuum-method brewer. For me it is a process, an art, and the one thing I have honestly missed more than anything as I travel around in a coffee-filled country in which it is ironically hard to get a decent cup.

Alchemy-A Juice Bar And So Much More-Ubud, Bali
What is Alchemy, you ask? Alchemy is part vegan café and salad bar, part juice bar, part retail shop and health store, part gathering place, part community builder and part health clinic. Alchemy is a treasure, and I’ve never been anywhere like it in all of my travels. First of all, the juices they offer are amazing. Nutritious, organic, and absolutely delicious, they are the perfect tonic to the Bali heat. I loved the fact that their straws are made from papaya. The restaurant serves salads, and what an amazing salad you will get. First of all, they are huge, and you get to decide what toppings you would like…
