As I set off on a new series of travel adventures, the spirit that drives me is curiosity, a desire to experience the world and taste all the flavors it has to offer. For me, food and travel are so deeply intertwined that it’s impossible to separate them.
I keep a list of my Top 10 best-ever meals in the part of my brain where my tastebuds tingle. Some are fancy restaurant classics, others have more humble origins. Like the glorious New England clambake that I ate perched on the rocky Maine coastline but the most unlikely contender for my Top 10 list is a simple plate of spaghetti with tomato sauce and a cappuccino.
Whole Stories Shortly is a reader-supported publication and, as I spend a year writing and traveling, I hope you’ll subscribe to join the adventure.
Upgrade to become a paid subscriber and your support is a bowl of ripe tomatoes, fresh from the garden, with a lick of virgin olive oil and crumbles of salty ricotta on top—what’s better than that?!
