Top 10 World’s Weirdest Restaurants With La Carmina

Listen Later

Looking for some wild and wacky restaurants to visit on your travels?

La Carmina has a passion for subcultures and “alternative beauty” around the world. She’s an award-winning travel and gothic fashion journalist, author, blogger, and TV host, appearing on Discovery Channel, National Geographic, and Travel Channel, among others. 

In addition to this list, La Carmina and I talk about her unique approach to travel and how her interest in subcultures influences her passion for these unusual dining experiences. You’ll get her advice on creating your own success and tips for seeking out alternative experiences at home or wherever your travels take you.

What’s the quirkiest spot you’ve been to? I'd love to hear what they are and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
