Korean Barbecue
Brian
A few weeks ago, I met Brian of Bikeandboots.com at a Korean BBQ place in Vienna, VA. He was in town visiting a friend, who was also with us.
I’m always excited to meet travel bloggers, whether away or at home, however Brian was the first one who I met who had joined my new site, Travel Blog Success.
He’s planning to kick off his next round of adventures later this year by riding from Texas to San Diego by way of Alaska!
We talked about our travels a lot, and blogging a little, while enjoying the Asian feast before us.

Debbie
Then, while I was in New York City last week, I met up with Debbie, another new member of Travel Blog Success. A few months ago, she decided to quit her lawyering job and spend 6 months traveling to 17 countries, starting with Iceland in early April. She’s excited to have Girls Travel Blog up and running, and has just started to dig into the first few TBS lessons.
After drinks at a small wine bar called 10 Degrees on St. Mark’s Place, we stepped outside to find some dinner.
Less than a minute later, we happened upon Hummus Place, which she assured me was the topic pick of Israelis in the city. In we went, and as the photo reflects, it is no ordinary hummus they serve up. It was easily the best presented, creamiest, most delicious hummus I’ve ever eaten. And I enjoyed it with my first glass of Israeli red wine.
On a roll, I let it ride with a traditional Israeli dessert called Malabi.

The Israeli dessert, Malabi looks amazing! No wonder you feel comfortable handing your dentist over money!!! I also checked out the write up “#Rwanda Trip: Finding Cheap Airfare with Kayak”— What do you do during those long flights and lengthy stop overs? Reading and falling into a coma like sleep help me out a lot. I'm pumped to see what's next!
I won't have any long layovers on my flight to Rwanda, just a lot of little ones each way. Since I'll have my laptop, I'll try to keep writing/tweeting as I go, plus I'll probably have a book about Rwanda to read. Otherwise, I listen to a lot of music when I'm in transit.
That food looks really really good!
I liked your article very useful to me. I will come back and read the article again.

Are you trying to slowly kill all your readers, Dave? I have barely seen the images and I still have the smell I've imagined in my nostrils. I am amazed by what minds can do – mine is imagining the smell of some sort of food it hasn't sniffed before and yours… Well, yours is purely diabolical, as evil as the camera that took these shots and didn't even twitch. Only an Alaskan fishing vacation can erase the beautiful smell I imagine these dishes have.
For me, food is one of the most fascinating aspects of travelling! Being fortunate enough to spend 4 months travelling Asia I was able to try many local foods. From bbq’d scorpions to live frog! http://www.alexasigno.co.uk/chengdu-hotpot-china
Some genuinely nice and utilitarian info on this web site, too I think the style contains great features.
