Eating at Malawian Roadside Restaurants

Finding yourself as an azungu (foreigner) at lunchtime far away from recognizable restaurants in the city can be intimidating. Thankfully, most small towns in Malawi have simple roadside restaurants that you can safely taste with a little bit of “need to know” information.

While on our road trip, I filmed this quick video explaining how I packed my @cotopaxi Allpa35 to live out of it for a month. It worked so well, I wouldn’t change a thing about it! It also has a laptop sleeve in the back, but we had so many electronics and cords that we…
Days 28-30: We headed north across Texas, making a quick stop in San Antonio for lunch and to see the Alamo, where Josh served as our own personal tour guide and taught us all about what happened there. We spent two nights in Fort Worth visiting several friends there, and then left early in the…
Days 25-27: We packed up camp for the last time and drove approximately one million miles across the middle of nowhere south Texas from Big Bend to Corpus Christi. It was really only a bit over 8 hours, but the song, “I’m a thousand miles from nowhere,” has never felt more accurate. We finally found…
Days 23-24: We drove from Carlsbad, NM to Big Bend National Park right on the Rio Grande of southwestern Texas and setup camp for the last time in the Chisos Basin campground. BBNP is mind-bogglingly enormous, and we spent the next day exploring it. We drove down to the Rio Grande and hiked the Santa…
Day 22: Today we visited Carlsbad Caverns National Park. It was definitely unlike any of the other parks we’ve visited on this trip! We chose to do the self-guided tour so we could go at our own pace, and we hiked in the natural entrance. It was a super cool, zig-zaggy hike down, down, down…
Day 21: We’ve made some slight pivots from our original plan for these few days in west Texas/New Mexico. We’d planned to drive from El Paso to Carlsbad Caverns National Park on this day, and then spend one night in Carlsbad, NM. But as we were getting ready to leave, I (thankfully) checked the park…
Days 18-20: We packed up camp for the second-to-last time, said goodbye to the Pacific Ocean, and started heading back east. We landed in Phoenix, Arizona for two nights to visit Black Mountain Baptist Church and our friends, the Stephenses. We had a great time with them, and loved Arizona’s October weather! On Monday morning…
Day 17: After breakfast, we drove to downtown Los Angeles to explore the city. We went to the Griffith Observatory to see the Hollywood sign and the views of the city. It was a neat place, and I wish we’d have been there during business hours to go inside. I embarrassed my entire family by…
