Most of us will remember 2021 for one overwhelming reason: COVID-19. Other will remember it for missing out on celebrations, being in lockdown and, most annoyingly, not being able to travel!

That's where this website (and many others too, of course) tried to help out with virtual travel.

Throughout 2021, FoodandTravel.com.au featured many Trips, plus Tastes, world celebrations and Travel Tipoffs. 

Here's a quick reminder of what we brought to you in 2021 - just in case you have missed any of them. See if you can remember (or guess) where they are.

Click on the photos or headings to see the entire story for each one. And don't forget to watch the videos in each story.
