While we continue to wait for the world to open, Wanderlust Travel would like to inspire the search of memorable food experiences with recipes from different areas of the world.
Travel experiences can stay with you for years through journaling, pictures, souvenirs, or memories you cherish. You might reflect on the accommodations you stayed in, sights you saw, the people you met or the food you ate.
When dining during your travels, trying the local specialties may open your eyes to different types of food you learn to love.
This week let’s travel to the Caribbean island of Jamaica, known for jerk chicken.
