As food bloggers, we love to travel to different Countries around the world and taste the delicious delicacies. On our last trip to the Caribbean we fell in love with the tasteful selection of dishes. Savoring every bite, from the drinks to the main courses, we hope this takes you on a journey to the tropics.

Africa has such a rich cultures, it was the start of civilization! Traveling to the West African Countries and experiencing their culture is life changing. Food is an important part of the culture, countries like Ghana and Nigeria pride themselves in their famous jollof rice, while the Liberians and Gabonese relish in their fufu entrees. Enjoy as your palate takes you on a journey to the motherland.
