Travel Tip #86: Cook Your Own Meals

It may be nice to visit fabulous restaurants and intriguing food stalls, but there’s nothing more delicious than meal that you cook yourself with local ingredients. Stroll through the markets, shop at bazaars and get your hands dirty in the kitchen. If you’re not comfortable with knives and raw meat, find a cooking class in your destination and learn to cook like a local.

There’s nothing wrong with splurging on a few nice meals, but you’ll never forget the dish you whipped up yourself with fresh, foreign (to you) ingredients.
