Climb aboard the food trend train: what’s cool today will be passé tomorrow. New food trends arrive on the scene every year, whether you’re ready for them or not. Some will be local foods cast into the spotlight by changing tastes, novel techniques or a hefty dose of whimsy, but most will be foreign imports – unexpected flavours arriving from distant locales to excite and befuddle your taste buds. These aren’t new foods, in fact they’re typically traditional foods but exported far enough away that the commonplace transforms into the exotic. Food trends are easy enough to spot once they’ve become established, but is it possible to predict the next food trends before they happen? Could we have foreseen the popularity of gourmet tacos, tuna tartare, cooking everything sous-vide or matcha green tea before they burst onto the scene? To answer this, we turned to travel writers, those resourceful researchers of remote reaches of the world who leave no stone unturned nor

As an undergraduate student I was fortunate enough to study abroad in Australia for two semesters.  While there, I embarked on the traditional backpacker’s tour, jumping from hostel to hostel across the country.  Backpacking in Australia is what I imagine being in a traveling rodeo is like; you run into the same people over and over, stay at the same hostels and hotels, you even visit the same tourist destinations.  The number of backpackers and students planning trips to the Great Barrier Reef, Fraser Island, Byron Bay, and Sydney at any given time is surely mind-boggling. While down under, I had the opportunity to travel to Hanoi, the capitol of Vietnam, an opportunity I certainly wasn’t going to pass up.  After a layover in Taiwan, my group and I landed in Hanoi late one spring afternoon.  By the time we went through customs, gathered our bags, exchanged currencies, and hailed cabs, it was soon approaching 10 p.m.  As it was a few weeks away from the humid rainy

From the smiling faces and pristine beaches in Thailand, to the incredible, fresh food in Vietnam, to one of the most impressive sites in the world in Cambodia, to the sleepy, still undiscovered lands of Laos, Southeast Asia is ripe for the picking if you love to travel. What to expect Expect stunning scenery, historical site after historical site, fantastic food that is as cheap, fresh, and as good as you’ll find anywhere in the world, and ease of travel. Sure, you may not always be comfortable (hello, minibuses in Laos), but what you give up in comfort you get back in the wallet.  One of the most surprising things about travel in SE Asia was just how
