Immersion in the local culture, through food, is one of the most rewarding parts of travelling and it really enhances your experience of a place. Trying the local cuisine of an area can be both financially, gastronomically and culturally beneficial. If you’re a traveller on a tight budget, here’s a guide on how to eat well, whilst saving money:
Researching prior to travelling
The secret to travelling on a tight budget is to plan ahead, to learn about the local cuisine before you get to a destination
Research affordable restaurants and good-quality street vendors
