A3: To keep my person and stuff safe, I avoid going out at night in isolated areas; I wear a thick-strapped cross-body bag that I never take off, even for meals; and I maintain my situational awareness even while being dazzled by the sites I'm seeing. #FoodTravelChat

A2: To make travel less stressful, I pack only a carry-on, plan well, allow extra time and refer to the checklist we give free when someone subscribes to RealFoodTraveler.com. subscribepage.io/CKp6DR #FoodTravelChat #TravelTips #TravelSafety

A1: I eat a lot of veggies and drink a lot of water. And, I keep facemasks with me to wear on the plane, train and anywhere people are crowded together without a lot of airflow. Too many people go out sick and don't wear masks to protect others. #FoodTravelChat

Yes! Just did at a chain hotel we were staying in that had a coffee machine that also made hot chocolate. It was darned good!

What are those yummy-looking fries? They look like hashbrown-fries which would be a dream come true!

Q3: Where in the world would you like to travel to have "wrapped up" foods? A3: Would love to go back to Southeast Asia to travel and eat my way through there #FoodTravelChat

Ooo! I've never seen rainbow ones! #FoodTravelChat #Dumplings #SoupDumplings

Vietnamese egg rolls are my favorite kinds of #eggrolls - so flaky and light. And I love eating them in the lettuce leaves with basil, mung bean sprouts and cucumber. #FoodTravelChat

A3: I'd like to go to Asia to have a variety of wrapped up foods (egg rolls, shu mai, various dumplings). I'd really love to take a dumpling-making class though, like this one. #FoodTravelChat #Dumplings realfoodtraveler.com/chinese-dumpli…

A2: I had empanadas in Spain and ravioli in Italy. #FoodTravelChat

A1: I love pork shumai, chicken/green onion potstickers and shrimp soup dumplings. I also love herb-cheese ravioli in a light broth - elegant. #Dumplings #FoodTravelChat
