Mark and Elizabeth Rudd Will Help You Plan the Perfect Food-Based Vacation

2020 has been a hard one. But there’s a lesson to be learned: not to take anything for granted. One thing we miss especially these days is traveling—fork in hand. When international travel is permitted and safe, we’re not taking any chances and following our guts. Compass & Fork will be our first stop.

Run by food and travel bloggers Mark and Elizabeth Rudd, the online platform provides the perfect combination of travel and food—with tips, reviews and even recipes dedicated to their travels abroad. Having travelled to over 50 countries—and worked in about 10—the seasoned couple knows what makes or breaks a vacation.

“One of the ways we learn about a place is through food,” they explain on their website, “so that is a large focus when we travel, but we also enjoy getting to know the culture, so we will share what we learn—real food, real people, and real travel stories”.

Mark and Elizabeth follow their guts when it comes to travel. Their online website, Compass & Fork, offers great recipes, destination recommendations, and travel tips that are well put together.

The two encourage their readers and followers to approach their site as sort of virtual vacation. “Learn about the place, the culture, the people, the food. Think whether it is a place you might want to visit, and what would be involved. Cook along with us at home, all the recipes for the month will be the same cuisine—but a mix of breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts, and salads. Enough so that you can find something to try.”

We can’t wait to follow their lead.
