On the surface, South Korea, Hawaii, Peru, and Croatia don’t seem to have much in common.

“There is a little gelato spot in Taormina that makes the most incredible local limoncello gelato that really shouldn't be missed,” says Jessica Echenberg an Italy Destination Expert. Food and culture are inseparable. Woven into the fabric of tradition, recipes like Croatia's black risotto and Portugal’s pastel de nata are passed down through generations.  But it takes a local expert to know where to try them at their most authentic. Insights our award-winning Destination Experts specialize in.  From knowing where to try the best gin in the Highlands, as recommended by Ashley Pollard, to sharing the cultural relevance of the Icelandic hot dog as shared by Aileen Stewart, our Destination Experts hold a wealth of local knowledge. “Oh, in Spain I would have some seafood, some olives, and of course, churros,” shares Destination Expert Silvia Cilia.
