Eating my way through the city by the bay

When it comes to travel, I have my go-to destinations like most of us do. A sense of familiarity that allows me to unwind in some of the most beautiful destinations around the world. But I’ll let you in on a little secret… I love to explore new cities and destinations most of all.

So when our friends at San Francisco Travel asked me to join them on an international press trip centered around the food culture of San Fran, I knew I couldn’t pass up such an incredible opportunity.

The sport of adventure travel

For those of you who follow along with us on social media, you’ll have seen that 2017 has been a busy year for the team around the world. We are travelling a LOT lately, and with those experiences come a lot of adventures. If adventure travel was “officially” a sport, I like to think I would be a pro athlete. Over the years, I have been lucky to learn a lot of lessons. The most important one that I can offer is to be prepared for whatever may come your way, and so I decided to share some of my best ways to be prepared when travelling the cities of this big beautiful world.
