Shrimp Mofongo | Puerto Rico | Oct 2022
Shrimp Mofongo | Puerto Rico | Oct 2022

From the age of 12 when I took my first international trip to Cancun, Mexico I’ve been in love with traveling and the amazing food that I discover with each new place I visit. Some of my greatest memories from my years of travel involve food. From eating the unique style of pizza in Macedonia, to drinking coffee that was poured from a backpack worn by a Columbian street vendor, to roasting marshmallows directly over the lava flows in Guatemala. All of these food experiences and so many more would only be possible by traveling to the unique destination where they can be tasted.

Do you ever dream of eating reindeer meat in Scandinavia, dahl in India, or chicken satay in Indonesia? What about learning to make pasta in an Italian village, taking part in the annual kimchi making festival in South Korea, or helping a local prepare authentic baleadas in Honduras? There are so many travel destinations for foodies like these and many more to explore around the world.

Culinary travel adventures are becoming more popular than ever. You may be one of the many that has started to realize that foodie travel is one of the best ways to see the world. Maybe you have your own memories of culinary travel experiences that you cherish but now wish to make new memories for your tastebuds. Perhaps what you need is a foodie travel agent to show you the best places to travel for foodies.

Here at The Casual Nomad we believe that food is a powerful, integral part of life. How else can you truly experience the authentic culture of a place you travel to without experiencing the local food? We maintain this philosophy when we create amazing tailor made culinary travel tours for you. Our foodie travel agents love what they do and are experienced travelers themselves, utilizing their years of experience to create the best culinary travel adventure for you.

Rustic and Decadent Mountain Adventure

Reviewed By Lisa - Pulsbou, WA | Traveled to Honduras ~ Central America
I have now been on a few travel adventures with Kirstin. I really appreciate these trips with her because I'm always confident I'm in secure hands, and she always handles any complications with finesse. She is organized, conscious of travelers' budgets, knowledgeable, and really fun to be around. This excursion was to Pico Bonito (The Villas) on the Rio Cangrejal on the outskirts of La Ceiba. We had some rain, but that didn't ruin our plans. Kirstin came prepared, as usual, with board games and engaging conversation, along with an eclectic group of travelers (who became new friends).

"Amazing Adventure Trip!"

Reviewed By "Adventurous Soul" - Bluffton, SC | Traveled to Belize ~ Central America
I would most definitely travel with Kirstin again. I recommend her to anyone who is planning a trip to Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, or another destination. She was organized, took care of all details, spoke fluent Spanish and English. She made my trip to remote parts of Belize Butterly farm , family owned Cocoa farm as well as fishing villages a wonderful experience. We ate at relaxing, small riverfront restaurants and family kitchens. Our travels took us via buses, boats, taxis, and tuk tuks which she had arranged in order to make my vacation just what I wanted. I will travel with Kirstin again and recommend her to others who would like adventure vacations.

A Great Escape

Reviewed By David B. - Utila, Honduras | Traveled to Honduras ~ Central America
While having been an adventurous traveler in my youth, this was my first experience travelling as a Senior. It was also the first time letting someone else take care of every imaginable detail: all the specifics of travel, connections, accommodation, shopping, supplies and who I would be travelling with. Kirstin did a fantastic job in every respect. Her secret? She works with you to find out exactly what you are looking for and has the local connections and knowledge to make it happen. She's fluent in Spanish, enthusiastic, informative and well-organized, and responsive to the individual requirements of every member of the group.
