Food is more than just a means of sustenance – it’s an essential part of every culture. This makes food a big part of the travel experience. Through food, we’re invited to learn about and experience local culture, heritage, and tradition. 

We're chatting with Katie Johnson, host of the Tasty Trails Travel Podcast, about how food impacts and shapes our experience of a place. We unpack the ways that we can engage with cultures around food, and how food can be a deeply ingrained part of a person’s cultural identity. 

Guest: Katie Johnson took to life on the road almost a decade ago. She uses her experiences and passion to run her travel consultancy company and podcast. She hosts Tasty Trails Travel Pod, where she talks to people around the world and learns about their culture and traditions through the food that they eat.
