One excellent website that came out of the mediocre book in the previous post was this one: LegalNomads.com; Where culture, food & travel intersect. It’s the website of a young woman who left her job as a lawyer in Montreal to travel around the world, trying foods one country at a time, one meal at a time.
Her site is well documented with interesting links and resources. The photography is beautiful and the way she records her experiences is fun and entertaining to read.
Whether she is Christian or not I don’t know – but her life exemplifies the idea of Christain mission – engaging the world and allowing it to change you. She is entering one culture after another and immersing herself in its people, language, art, food, music, smells and soaking up the experience. This is what mission is about. Opening ourselves to others and to the world.
I’ve put her on the blogroll here at InnerPacific.
Hi there, thank you very much for the kind words and I’m happy you enjoyed the site. It’s been a work in progress (aren’t we all?) but it is wonderful for me to see someone approach the site from the outside and see it for how I’d love it to be seen – as someone writing about places because I care to live them. Thank you.
For what it’s worth, I’ve met Tyler briefly but having followed his site for quite some time, he is writing for an audience than might not be you, but rather the readers of his economics blog and his prior work. I can see how the attitude might not jive with your own given your About page, but I do think he extremely sincere and very observant, mixing the economics of how food gets from A to B with his own travels. (He tends to travel on his own as well, roaming around in search of food – this was what initially put us in touch, his desire to eat as much local food as possible.) Of course, that doesn’t change how you felt about the book 🙂 But I thought I’d add some additional context regardless.
Thank you again for reading!
Best,
Jodi
