LandLopers Picks of the Week

1. Food Wanderings

I visited Israel last year and had a remarkable experience, particularly when it came to food. This post perfectly captures both the culinary and physical beauty of the Negev Desert region and you’ll feel like you’re there too after reading it.

2. The Runaway Guide

While I don’t personally hitchhike and I probably wouldn’t recommend what this post is all about, that doesn’t mean it’s not cool to read about the experience. I can’t think of a more challenging location than Ethiopia to hitchhike (actually I can) and this post cleverly makes the journey relatable.

3. Travel Yourself

I realized that I don’t feature enough videos in my picks of the week, so I thought I’d highlight this great post by Cailin about making one of the great dishes of the world – ceviche.

4. Our Tasty Travels

Who doesn’t like ice cream? Well apparently Erin if this post is any proof. I’m sure that’s not completely true, instead in this piece Erin constructs a delicious tribute to one of my favorite sweet treats, gelato.
