Travel involves trying new foods. Here are NEW foods we have trialed this week throughout the towns we are visiting.

Take five. You deserve it! Many cultures around the world highly regard coffee or coffee breaks. Whether you have a cafe des epices in Morocco, a phe sua da in Vietnam, or a Fika in Sweden, there is always time to slow life and have a coffee break with us.

Coffee or Cocktail?

Pogradec, Albania

The production and consumption of alcoholic beverages date back to ancient civilizations. Societies and cultures around the world have made use of alcohol in their religion, medicine, purity measurements, trade, funerary, and entertainment. Drink with us around the world.

Where are we drinking this week?

The house white wine at a summer restaurant in Pogradec.

Whether you call it a square, marketplace, piazza, cognate, or plaza, for centuries, human life revolved around the center of town. No matter where you lived or how you lived the stones in the town square connected us together. As the gathering place, the town square allowed people to assemble for food, news, skills, religions, advice, politics, music, etc. As we travel and experience the town squares in other countries, we hope to enrich our perspectives of people and yours. We are all human though we walk on different paths.
