When my mother said I could go on an international trip this past summer, I quickly started thinking of possible destinations. The Dominican Republic, Argentina, Chile, and Costa Rica were four countries I thought about visiting. I had thought a bit about Spain as well, but I thought that it’d be too expensive. Until my …

Trying Filipino Food for the First Time
Do y’all remember the time I tried Filipino snacks for the first time? That was over three years ago, but here’s this link to refresh yourselves on that. Technically I’d tried Filipino food because of the snacks. Just not the entrées like adobo. Now three years after I tried Filipino snacks from a subscription box, …
Trying Georgian Food for the First Time
Before watching this Reel, I’d never thought about eating Georgian food. Nor did I know anything about it. But since the mentioned restaurant was located in Madrid and I planned on going to Madrid, I immediately put “try Georgian food” on my bucket list.* Georgian food in Madrid—seriously? you might think. I say, “yes!” It’s …

Trying Ethiopian Food for the First Time
Yo, I’ve been wanting to try different cuisines for several minutes. Colombian food, Salvadoran food (pupusas, baby), Korean Fried Chicken—the list goes on.

ANUNCIO: Nunca confíen en nada que la PETA respalden
Ustedes, tengo unas cosas decir sobre este tema. He sabido por un tiempo que la PETA es una organización muy hipócrita. Siempre hace un escándalo sobre no matar a los animales mientras hacen cualquier cosa salvo salvar sus vidas. Recuerdo ver un tuit hace un tiempo de PETA condenar la tauromaquia en España e inmediatamente …
PSA: Never Trust Anything PETA Endorses
Y’all, I got some stuff to say about this subject. I’ve known for a while that PETA is a very hypocritical organization. They always flap their gums about not killing animals while doing anything but saving their lives. I remember seeing a tweet a while back from PETA condemning bullfighting in Spain and immediately rolling …
Trying Indian Food for the First Time
Well kids, this is the first time in over a year that I have tried a different culture’s cuisine (excluding the Universal Yums boxes of course). Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am a huge fanatic of learning about other cultures. Despite the fact that we haven’t been able to meet up …
Trying Colombian Snacks for the First Time
Alright, remember the hint I gave you about what the last country would be? It’s where Shakira was born. If you guessed Colombia, you are correct! And lord, I cannot WAIT to try estos tentempies colombianos. That translates to “these Colombian snacks” in English by the way. Unfortunately, this will be the last box I …
Trying Egyptian Snacks for the First Time
My last review of cultural snacks was supposed to be released in July, when I was eager to try those Thai snacks for the first time. Unfortunately, due to receiving the wrong box, I was not able to get a taste of Thailand. See, the thing is that I received the British snack box again …
