April has gone by in a blink of an eye and with it, so has our annual World Food Travel Day celebration.

We are extremely happy to report that this year, participation increased by 109%, with over 500 submissions from all corners of the world! To increase engagement and drive meaningful content, we created a contest this year that asked users to remember some of the best culinary memories they have and share them with us. The prizes included one copy of “Gastro Obscura: A Food Adventurer’s Guide” and two Premium memberships to our GastroTerra community.

We received some truly wonderful posts, and as you may have seen on our social media, the winners were:

Emma G., from Scotland

A tray of food and a bowl of food on a table.

Rosana J., from Grenada
