Eats

Try the local foods, some of the best tastes are found at the little shack by the roadside and if the locals are brave enough to eat there, then you have nothing to worry about. I remember on a trip to the Bahamas my girlfriend and I befriended one of the locals who took us to Dirty's, a little makeshift hut. Let me tell you, it was the best Conch Fritters I've ever had. Ask the locals for recommendations on where the best places to eat are and ask about their personal favorites. Don't eat at an establishment you're already familiar with, like McDonalds. The whole point of travel is the newness of everything that culture or place has to offer. Indulge, jump in! I've sampled some of the best flavored Tequila in Mexico, Rum cake in the Bahamas, mouth watering Coo Coo and Flyingfish in Barbados, Typical food in Costa Rica, and the list goes on. There are even dishes in my own country that I haven't had before, my goal is to seek them out and dig in. - Costa Rica
