Discover Spain through its Delicious Foods

May 19, 2019 by Mike Leave a Comment

A delicious looking table full of authentic Spanish foods

The following post was written by a reader of mine that had some information to share about traditional Spanish foods.  I love when readers send me their own insider knowledge about places in the world I haven't been to or places I've gone but want to know more about.I actually learned a bit about the different cuisines in each Spanish region when I took a paella cooking class in Barcelona.  Spain itself is only about the size of Texas, but each of the regions has its own unique food culture based on the history of the areas and the ingredients available to them.  My cooking instructor taught us a lot of this including the story of the origination of paella which I loved learning about.  If this sort of thing interests you, then you should totally check out Airbnb Experiences when you … [Read more...]

How to get cheap hotel nights using OpenTable Dining Rewards for Kayak discounts

Back in my days as an executive assistant, I racked up thousands of OpenTable Rewards points by booking lunches and dinners for my boss under my own account.  I'd always try and book his dinners for OpenTable restaurants that would give me the 1,000 point bonus instead of just the regular 100 points per reservation through the site.At the time my options for cashing out on my OpenTable credits by either redeeming them for cash off of my bills at restaurants or by getting Amazon gift cards.  The foodie in me always thought about using the Dining Rewards for going to nice restaurants I couldn't afford, but the compulsive online shopper in me held onto points until I could max out the Amazon money.Today I just saw an article on Lifehacker talk about a new option that OpenTable now … [Read more...]

My working planned cross country road trip route from Los Angeles to New York

For the one or two people that actually follow my travel blog, I've finally gone and quit  my job in Los Angeles!  I've finally gotten sick of the entertainment industry and I'm ready to move on.  That means I'll have no job or income for a bit so paying expensive rent in LA is not going to be feasible.I've decided that I'm going to move back home go New York for a bit.  My family is there and I figure I can plant my roots there in a more affordable life that will also allow me flexibility to start traveling more.  Living so far from home, I'd spend at least 2 of my "big trips" to go back home to visit family. I love them obviously, but I'd also like to use some of that time off to go explore the world.  After 8 years in Los Angeles, I've done enough exploring of Southern … [Read more...]
