Alex decided to cook us all ratatouille. This show aimed to discuss what types of food we both ate on our travels and why we love to try different cuisines worldwide. Food is a big part of my travels, and this talk will serve up an appetite.

This was the second talk I had with Alex, as our first talk was also live on Instagram. Unfortunately, I don't have access to that footage due to Instagram not having the option for me to save the video. In that discussion, I spoke to Alex about how she got started in travel, became an author at a young age, and had an eating disorder which she overcame. She put that down to the experiences that she gained from travelling.

I look forward to seeing where Alex goes next, as I have become one of her biggest fans.
