There’s a new, bold magazine out called Undomesticated that speaks to my heart.

Undomesticated is about literature and lives that exist outside our national borders. We’re here to help you get to know the world we live in—and the worlds you want to get to know. Bring on the connections, the misunderstandings, the discoveries.

I had a chance recently write an essay for Undomesticated about how I use food to guide my travel itineraries. How local markets and cooking classes are my favorite ways to get to know a place. Please take a look!

Do you visit local markets when you travel? Have you taken cooking classes abroad? Please share your experiences in the comments! I’d love to have more ideas to look forward to when it’s possible to explore the world again!
