Try Food From a Different Part of the Country
Yes, it’s possible to try food from a different part of the country. How do we know? Well, about three or so years ago we came across a company called Goldbelly. Goldbelly was created by a group of New Yorkers transplanted on the west coast who wanted to connect with their favorite NYC foods. Since its inception, the brand has rapidly grown to food items of all types located throughout the United States. Want Maryland crab cakes? No problem, hop on Goldbelly and choose how many, pay for it, and wait a day for your food to arrive, it’s that simple. The best part about this experience is that you can customize it from all over the country, affordably.
Add to Your Ever Growing Music Collection
The rule for this activity is that you must choose 3-5 new songs or artists from outside your born culture. Yes, this is the rule and you must follow it. We’ll help you out in a few directions. Let’s start with Buena Vista Social Club, Ibrahim Ferrer, the lead singer who was married to his life-long love Cuban music legend Celia Cruz turns out some unforgettable songs that pleasantly stick in your mind. How about Ravi Shankar or Bollywood music? The idea is to break out of your comfort zone while growing culturally.
