How to tell if you’re a Foodie Traveller

You know you’re a Foodie Traveller when…

You seek adventure.

You’re a go-getter and nothing will stop you. You want to see the world and experiment with different cuisines you never thought you’d try. You’re a true Foodie Traveller, wanting to discover what the world has to offer outside of your countries cuisines. From Chicken Feet, Tripe and Haggis to Tuna Eyeballs… nothing scares you. You may not enjoy the taste of the dish, but you walk away knowing you’ve stepped out of your comfort zone by giving it taste. You’re all about trying new things and food ALWAYS comes first.

You travel to experience life as a local.

You look for the most authentic restaurant that’ll be filled with locals and will have the most unique dishes. One things for sure, you aren’t about travelling on an empty stomach (“Hangry” is a serious thing). You’re continuously connecting with locals on the street, wandering down hidden alleys and discovering those hidden gem spots (with the help of Sirved!) You’ll never fully understand a culture until you’ve indulged like a local.

Your iCloud storage is full… because of food photos.

Your phone background? Food photo. Your Instagram feed? More food photos. You sometimes order dishes off the menu simply because of how aesthetically pleasing it sounds (no shame, we’ve totally done this). Landscapes, museums and street views are worth capturing, but only a true Foodie Traveller can capture and appreciate a beautifully presented dish. Your friends and family know not to touch their food when it arrives at your table – photos first! Sometimes you might even spend 5 minutes rearranging the table to get your dishes best side. Food memories are the best memories.

Your idea of research is searching for menus.

When you begin planning a trip, you plan your travels around which restaurants you want to visit. Luckily Sirved is able to help you locate those destinations by showing a map view of what’s around your location. You feel a thrill when researching food. Drooling over restaurant Instagram accounts and food shots. By the time you’ve boarded your flight, or hopped on that train you’ve read food reviews and you’ve checked out restaurant menus. You’ve successfully put together a list of must-sees MUST-EATS. 

Are you a Foodie Traveller?

Well… can you relate to any of these scenarios? Would you consider yourself a Foodie Traveller? It’s never too late to become one. Believe it or not, food can lead you to some of the most beautiful destinations and your travel experience will never be boring!
