🍦Did you know that despite being one of the world's most popular spices, vanilla can only be pollinated by a single species of bee in Mexico? That curry is the national dish of two countries, and neither one is the one you're probably thinking? And that not only is Hawaiian pizza not Hawaiian, but neither is its most distinctive ingredient?

Great news, everyone: we'll discuss all this and more in a brand new season of How Not To Travel. That's right: we're back for Season 3! And we're doing things a little differently this time, because instead of talking about traveling people, we're exploring the intricate world of traveling food!

This season, Kiona is joined by Luis López, the host of Studio Ochenta's podcast Atlas Linguae. Together they discuss the unexpected journeys of some of the world's most popular foods: from bananas to Tabasco sauce!

🍕 And we're coming back strong with a LIVE LISTENING session to mark this brand new season. 

Tune in on your fav app this Tuesday for ep one and join us at 5pm EST/ 2pm PST for a live listening session and chat with the professional foodies about all kings of food curiosities.🌶️

New episodes start airing April 25. Follow us @ochentapodcasts and @hownottotravelpod for more updates!

Hosted by Kiona from How Not to Travel Like a Basic Bitch, the How Not To Travel podcast sheds a new light on travel. Instead of talking about instagram-friendly hotels and the latest trendy destinations, Kiona goes where few other travel bloggers and podcasters dare to go. She asks real questions about travel like: Is it possible to travel 100% sustainably? Who get’s to be called a local? Are some countries really safer than others? and more.

Because travel is about seeing the world differently, and this podcast is going to show you how.

Tune in Nov.1 for episode 1!
