Planning a trip can be difficult. Trying to pack as many great experiences into a few short days can feel like a chore. That’s why I’ve decided to start a series where I can give you the best vacation spot, depending on what you want to do.

For the first post of the series, I figured I’d pick a topic everyone can relate to: food! Everyone can agree that meals are some of the best parts of vacation, but some people travel specifically to taste unique, elite cuisine. For those people, I’ve compiled a list of three amazing countries you can travel to if you want to eat like a king.

Italy

Italian food is some of the most well-recognized and popular cuisine in the world. If you travel to Italy, you will find pasta made from scratch, the best wine pairings, and delectable desserts.

Japan

If you enjoy Asian cuisine, consider travelling to Japan. Although they are best known for their sushi, Japan offers a number of savory and sweet dishes for every palate. I suggest trying a large bowl of ramen at a street stand; you won’t leave hungry!

France

It’s no surprise that France is one of the top places for foodies to travel. Any educated chef will have learned the basics of French cuisine, because it is that influential. If you love cheese, you’ll find something at any French restaurant.

There you have it, food-lovers! If you’re wondering where to plan your next trip, start with one of these three places.
