I love traveling, and here’s a list
of things I can’t do without from all over the world.
Walkers Jerk Chicken Paste from
Jamaica
On a recent trip to Jamaica, I became addicted to the laid-back attitude and wonderful hospitality of the Caribbean.

You may not be able to bring back
tropical fruit, freshly picked from your own coconut tree in your private villa
on James Bond Island, but you can definitely bring back some flavours of
Jamaica with Walkers Jerk hot sauce. You can use this to create your own jerk chicken
at home with this spicy rub.
Vegemite from Australia
You may not have fallen in love with this salty, sticky spread during your visit, but the highly addictive smear is perfect to share with family and friends if they want a taste of Down Under without enduring the long plane ride over. If you have ‘friends’ that you want to exact revenge on, then definitely bring them a sample. But if you have loved ones that you actually want to impress, stick with Tim Tams instead

Germany
Ahh… if it were possible to bring back a keg of beer from any of the beer houses in Germany, I would be the first to do so. But if you can’t fit a crate of beer in your carry-on luggage, opt for the next best thing: Haribo! I have a major sweet tooth, and I love all things gummy, so when you are in Germany, definitely fill up on the cheap and cheerful lollies that have an entire wall in the supermarket dedicated to this gumm-licious candy!

New York, USA
The only time when portion control should be avoided is when you’re shopping for souvenirs for friends and loved ones. No one does it better than the great U.S of A, baby. Sure you can bring back designer outfits from the boutiques in the West Village, or even try to keep the giant pretzel from going stale, for a slice of New York for your baby sister to munch on. But, if you don’t want upset tummies and angry TSA officers, head straight to Costco and grab yourself a giant back of chocolate to share among friends.

I personally love the mixed bag of
goodies from Hershey’s filled with Kisses, goodie bars and other chocolates to
make you love and miss the US.
Japan
You can’t leave out a country housed on good food and souvenirs. Its huge miyage culture, which says souvenirs should be shared with friends, family and neighbours after a short trip, means Japan really does have it all. The best part about Japan’s souvenir-giving culture is that you have your pick of the litter right at the airport. From banana cream cakes to red-bean mochi’s and even matcha Kit Kats, go crazy and use up all your yen.
