A Wine Tour on a Bike in Mendoza, Argentina & Salta
We took a long overnight bus from Buenos Aires to get to Mendoza and why? Because we wanted to drink wine. At 10 o'clock we arrived at Mr. Hugo's, rented our bicycles and began our adventure.
We biked around to a few different wineries. Things got a little messy!
I then zipped up to Salta for a couple days to wrap up my time in Argentina.
For future reference, helmets are an excellent idea...

Comida Por Kilo en Buenos Aires: Food By The Weight in Buenos Aires
One of the best quality meals for what you pay for in Buenos Aires is Comida Por Kilo (Food by the weight) that you'll find all over the city. These buffet styled restaurants typically feature Asian cuisine, Argentine classics and a generous salad section. You just load up your tray and pay by the weight at the end. Typically, we ended up paying between 35-50 Pesos ($2.50-3.50 USD) or 60-75 Pesos ($3.50-4.50) per tray depending on how heavy the items are. If you're craving salad, in the hunt for a budget meal or just looking to eat somewhere that locals frequent we highly recommend checking one out. You'll have no problem finding one as they're everywhere in the city.

Comida Por Kilo en Buenos Aires: Food By The Weight in Buenos Aires Travel Video Transcript:
Can you see him filming? Look at this.
Okay, so today we're doing something a little bit different. We've been filming a lot of food videos at restaurants here in Buenos Aires. But for today's lunch we're going to be trying food by the weight. Or comida por kilo. And these are kind of like establishments that are open only during the lunch hours. It is usually from eleven to three or eleven to four PM. And you go there, you grab a container, you fill it up with whatever you feel like eating and then they weigh it, you pay and you're all set. So it is pretty cool because there is a really great selection there. You get to eat what you want, maybe a little bit healthier and yeah these places are located in areas where you have a lot businesses, offices. So let's go, let's go eat some lunch.
After you, sir.
We've got our plates. Now we fill them up with whatever we feel like having. And this is the salad bar. Take your own.
Got everything you need Sam? Loaded up big time. Yes, is that enough for lunch? I think you need a bit more. Maybe some greens. My greens plate is over there. I'll show you that one later.
So we are back in the apartment. Yeah, it is chow time. I'm so hungry. I don't, I've often been skipping breakfast here. And so by the time we go there at eleven o'clock I'm absolutely ravenous. So if you take a look down here you'll see that I've got like this kind of eclectic mix of food.
Caneloni, I've got ravioli. Caneloni. So cantaloni is kind of like a pancake that has been stuffed with something savory. It could be meat or spinach. Yeah, exactly. And over here I have a fish ball that includes salmon inside, I've got a huge wedge of avocado. There we go. Sweet potato, various kinds of mixed rice, Asian inspired rice. And then over here I have like grilled eggplant and fried cheese and egg-rolls. Noodles. That is a little bit messy.
Okay, so why don't we try some ravioli to start off with. And there is so much variety at this place that we go to. You could eat any type of food. Italian. There is Italian. There is Italian, classic Argentine food, all kinds of Asian food. And they have an enormous salad buffet. That is actually what I'd normally be doing. I'm going to show you this here.
And alright we can't forget the wine. I mean we didn't get this at the food by the weight place. No. But since we're in Argentina you've got to have Malbec.
That is so nice. And for a place that is as cheap as this is like the quality is really quite high. Like very high. You're not getting you know disgusting fast food. This is good food. It is all fresh. They prepare it every morning before opening. So it is really nice. And also I should mention that these places, food by the weight, they're almost on every street corner. So it doesn't matter where you are. You'll be able to find one no problem. Yeah, and another really good tip for going to these food places is to arrive early. Not only do avoid the crowds but you get the freshest and the best of what they've just put out. Yeah, if you go there at twelve thirty or one most of the food will be gone. Like the really good stuff. So we always show up at eleven AM as soon as they open. Which means we're having an early lunch but we're getting to eat exactly what we want.
This is part of our Travel in Argentina series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Argentine culture, Argentine cuisine, Argentine food, Argentinian food & Argentinian cuisine.

მიშელ როლანი, ძირითადად, ბორდოში მოღვაწეობს, თუმცა მისი კონსულტაციებით სარგებლობს არამხოლოდ საფრანგეთის, არამედ მსოფლიოს არაერთი მეღვინეობა, განსაკუთრებით ახალბედა მარნები. მას დამწყები კომპანიებისთვის წარმატების მოპოვებაში საკმაოდ დიდი გამოცდილება აქვს. მის მიერ კონსულტირებული ბრენდების ხელწერა და ძირითადი ტრენდია მუხის ზეგავლენა და ხილის არომატები.

Feudi di San Gregorio
Feudi di San Gregorio sources its grapes from the finest vineyards set in the rolling hills of the Irpinia region, located in close proximity to Mount Vesuvius. The volcano's legendary eruptions have laden the sandstone and marl soil with mineral-rich deposits of volcanic ash, forming a unique composition that imparts highly distinctive aromas and flavors in the grapes.
Recognizing that a keen understanding of climatic conditions is indispensable to the successful cultivation of vines, Feudi di San Gregorio has invested extensively in state-of-the-art winemaking technology. Each of the estate's vineyards is equipped with a solar-powered meteorological station that gathers data continuously. By closely monitoring the environment, the estate is actively practicing eco-compatible viticulture, thereby reducing the need for artificial methods to an absolute minimum. Further embracing the benefits of technology, construction was recently completed on a modernized cellaring facility. A $20-million investment, it has the capacity to house an impressive 5,000 barrels.

Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a vlogging travel couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.
Our most recent trip was to South Korea where I embarked upon a two-week adventure without Audrey. Invited as part of a YouTube vlogging trip, organized by KTO, I spent the first week traveling with other YouTubers in Seoul, Busan and Gyeongju. My second week included independent exploration of Korea with my good friend and fellow YouTuber David of DavidsBeenHere.
Having lived and traveled in South Korea, the chance to return to one of my favorite countries was one of the biggest surprises of 2019. On this particular trip, I had an opportunity to do many things I had not previously covered including a visit to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone between South Korea and North Korea), a Buddhist Temple Stay and a Korean cooking class. It was almost as if the program designed by KTO knew exactly what I had missed out on before.
Obviously, a huge highlight from the two weeks I spent revisiting Korea was the food. I feasted on all of my favorite Korean dishes including Korean barbecue, dolsot bibimbap, haemul pajeon, tteokbokki, bulgogi, kimbap and many others. I can honestly say that Korean food is world-class and is one of my top 5 favorite cuisines in the world. Aside from trying familiar dishes, I had the opportunity to sample raw Korean seafood for the first time.
While visiting Seoul, highlights included going to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namsan Seoul Tower, Jogyesa Temple and Hongdae. As one of the biggest cities in the world, I barely scratched the surface of things to do in Seoul.
Spending extended time in Busan was my favorite part about the trip with top highlights including a Korean temple stay, fresh fish markets and a Korean baseball game. It was from Busan that we ended up taking a day-trip to Daegu where we enjoyed a traditional Korean market and tried Galbi-Jjim for the first time.
If you want to see more videos from Korea in the future, let us know in the comments what places you'd like us to travel to and what food experiences you'd like to see on this travel channel.
