Food plays a huge role in my travel experience and I have many fond memories of the delicious meals I had on my travels. When I was in Seychelles a few years ago, I kept eating breadfruit (it looks like jackfruit).
A staple out there, breadfruit is served in so many ways, whether you want it in a beautifully spiced curry or a mouth-watering dessert. I would plan a special trip back to Seychelles to sample other breadfruit dishes – that’s how delicious it is.
When I was in Mozambique a year later their fresh seafood braai was a highlight of my time there. It brings me back to calm boat rides, epic sandboarding in the dunes, sunset kayaking and lazy afternoons on the hammock, with the sound of the ocean not too far away. Not to mention the coconut cake that I tasted at the Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort, the pad thai that I devoured in a hotel restaurant in Thailand, and a traditional meal in a hut in Lesotho.
