The way I immerse myself into a new place/culture is by finding extraordinary culinary experiences. I prefer to have a mix of high-low dining options: one night it's dinner at a Michelin-star restaurant, the next day it's lunch at a hole-in-the-wall spot filled with locals. I seek out hidden gems that offer authentic flavors and food that feed the soul (and stomach). The high-low approach also applies to hotels and experiences, a luxe spa treatment one day and a cooking class getting my hands dirty the next. When staying in a city where I'll spend less time in the hotel room, it's all about location, but when I'm going somewhere that is known for its beautiful views & amenities, I'll splurge a bit more for a 5-star hotel offering. As long as there's good food, a great time awaits!
