The Foodie Flashpacker wouldn’t be the Foodie Flashpacker if he didn’t have an amazing team of travelers/writers contributing their latest trips and dishes to the site.
There I go again talking about myself in the third person. Simon says stop!
But seriously, I’m grateful for knowing these beautiful people, amazing characters, and all-around charming personas. This blog would just be a foodie without them.
Without further ado, let me introduce you to my amazing writers (yes, I included myself as well)!
