Myself to Che in a cartoon about people encountered in Argentina

Independent Reading Book

I chose Anthony Bourdain's second book, The Nasty Bits which is about his travels around the world tasting food. It is nonfiction writing and this connects to my passion of cooking because I love to travel and similar to Mr. Bourdain, I would like to taste really unique foods of the world. I love cooking and being stimulated by interesting food. I also aspire to relate cooking or nutrition into my career - maybe I will become a chef or a nutritionist, I'm not sure. Also, I am really interested in learning about and understanding different cultures and social inequality and I think that Anthony Bourdain's travels definitely investigate the relation of food and culture.
An independent reading project that I am considering is writing an essay about how food relates to culture.

Road Trip

I would like to take a road trip with two close friends and drive through Southern America to Mexico. Starting in Blue Bell, PA stopping in Baltimore then Asheville NC, Chattanooga TN, Memphis TN, Jackson MS, New Orleans LA, Beaumont TX, Houston TX, Austin TX, Monterrey, Mexico! Guadalajara, Cuidad de, Oaxaca.
This trip will take about a month and a half. Spending time with people we meet, eating food, enjoy each location for what it is, reading, writing, conversing, swimming in lakes, walking along mountains, I really want to take this trip
