What is culture? It is layers of food, faith, travel, and tradition — the ways we remember, the ways we celebrate, the things we build, and stories we believe.
Culture Through Food
Food carries memory. Recipes outlive empires. The way a community cooks, feasts, or fasts, and preserves ingredients tells you who they are. Just as our East Indian culture is a blend of Portuguese and Maharashtrian food – a mish-mash of spices and ingredients from two different corners of the world, other cultures are the result of different spice blends, old village stories, human resilience, and faith lived out in kitchens, farms, castles and churches alike.
Have you ever wondered about what food or drink you must try in a particular city? We did. So, my friends and I have put together a few options for you, from what to eat in Spain or where to eat in Paris to what to drink in different cities. You can’t leave a city without trying their most prized local liquors and foodie flavors can you?
Faith & Living Traditions
Our culture is not just what we eat or where we go – it is also what we believe, what we practice, how we celebrate, and what we choose to pass on to the next generation.
Culture Through Travel
Travel is how we encounter culture in motion — in the local markets we walk through, the monuments we visit, the cafés we sit in, the coastlines we drive past (or kayak past), and the quiet villages or happening towns we stumble through.
Monuments & Heritage Structures
There are some cultures that tell stories through food and folk tales handed down from generation to generation. Others carve them into stone. From the Colosseum in Rome to a fort in India, from a castle in Spain to a cathedral in Europe or a church in Africa, all of these monuments stand as a testimony to the culture that created them.
