Hey everyone,

I’ve been traveling quite a bit over the last few years, and one thing always frustrates me — when you’re in more secluded or less known places, it’s so harder to find quality food or (super)markets. You end up translating every label in a foreign language, strolling around the place to find something decent or use Google which also doesn’t always have the answer

I try to stay conscious about what I eat, even when I’m abroad — minimal processed stuff — but sometimes it feels impossible.

That got me thinking: there must be other people who travel or live abroad and deal with the same problem. I’m working on an idea to make it easier to find genuinely good food wherever you are, and to build a small community around it — people helping each other discover clean market and hidden gems.

Curious how others handle this:

  • How do you find healthy food or ingredients abroad?
  • Do you plan ahead, or figure it out when you arrive?
  • Would a community or guide around this actually be useful to you?

Would love to hear your thoughts, thanks.
