Spice Plantation Tour

February 22, 2013Filed in: Destinations, Photos & Video by Tara & Mike

Spice Plantation Tour In India

The favorable climate in south India makes it a massive producer of many spices, as well as world-class tea leaves and coffee beans. While in Periyar, we took a spice and tea plantation tour to learn more about the things we eat and how they grow. The four-hour tour took us to an organic, eco-friendly Read Post

Kerala Kitchen: Tomato Curry Recipe

February 20, 2013Filed in: Destinations, Food by Tara Shubbuck

Making Tomato Curry

So begins our adventure into South Indian dishes. The cuisine is much different in the south. Coconut and coconut oil are often found on the ingredient list, and fish is a favorite of the south as well (sadly, I have no fish recipes to share). These dishes are surprisingly quick and easy to make, and Read Post

Tara's Pack

After months and months strung together on the road, it becomes quite easy to nail down the possessions you’re really thankful that you bought and brought. When I was thinking about my top 6, some came as a surprise and were actually items I almost didn’t bring. But travel turns you into a bit of Read Post

Packing For Long-Term Travel: His Top Six Necessities

February 17, 2013Filed in: Travel Planning by Mike Shubbuck

The Loss of the Familiar, Part Two

February 13, 2013Filed in: Points of View by Mike Shubbuck
