The Food Truck World Tour Experience

(Ler em Português: Food Truck Turnê Mundial Experiência)
(Lesen Sie auf Deutsch: Die Food Truck World Tour Erlebnis)

I love food.

I also love to travel.

The other day I was trying to find a way in which I could actually combine the two things I love most and turn it into something fun to do. I mean, I could just spend the summer flying all over the world and visiting the top eateries, fancy restaurants and writing about that. But what if airfare and fine dining are not within your budget?

Yesterday i was reading an article about a guy from Norway, who claims that he has been visiting every country on mother earth.
What he did was that he took an airplane, went to the airport in the destination country, and then too the next flight home. But can you actually say that you have been visitng a country, just by being in the airport??

Floating markets in Bangkok

Float between stalls at a floating market

When hearing about markets most people think about the usual market places they go to or huge malls or supermarkets where they find everything in one place. While some may think of markets like flea markets or weekend markets that are set up on streets. But then there’s a third kind of market that you can find in many places as well as in Bangkok, known as the floating markets. Floating markets are markets where not only you can shop stuff but also learn about the life of the locals living at the banks in the same time, which itself is an experience for the tourists to know about the place they are travelling at.

Okay, I admit it. I have a newsletter.

This is where I try to sell you on subscribing to it. But let’s be honest. That’s what everyone does these days. You sign up, you get some stuff in your inbox every so often and after a while you forget why you subscribed in the first place.

My newsletter is different.

I know, we all say that. But if it makes you feel any better, here is a list of reasons why you should not subscribe to my newsletter. Maybe that’ll make you see that I’m honestly trying to do something really different than all the rest of the internet newsletter people out there.

Ibiza House, Phi Phi IslandIbiza House, Phi Phi Island

Despite what you might think, you don't have to spend a fortune to stay at a 4 star hotel. Doing your homework can get you some really great deals, no matter if it is a 4 star hotel, bed and breakfast or a hostel. On my last booking, i saved 72% on a 4 star hotel in central Bangkok, and it took me less than 20 minutes
