Traveling often evokes a strong feeling of euphoria. Sometimes on a trip, it feels as if we’re reborn as a new person, and when we’re back home we yearn for that feeling again.

Obviously, much of this can be attributed to being in a beautiful environment and being away from the stress of everyday life.

But I also have another theory. I think much of the joy we feel traveling comes from our open mindset and therefore our willingness to learn and try new things.

Of course, there’s nothing like getting out into the world and exploring. But what if we could bring aspects of travel back home with us, like this mindset? Instead of just feeding our curiosity while abroad, why not use this approach to continue trying new things and learning about other cultures while at home?

Personally, one of my favorite ways to do this is with food.

While at home, instead of always following a routine of the same foods, it can be so entertaining to try new cuisines and snacks from other countries or cultures.

A really fun way to do this is by signing up for a subscription snack box, like this one by Sakuraco.

Every month they send you a surprise box, full of authentic goodies from Japan. Inside you’ll find an array of treats made by local Japanese artisans, an afternoon tea pairing, home goods, and an informative snack guide.

The best part is that each month the box even follows a theme. For example, most recently I received my March Sakurako box which was all about the Cherry Blossom season.

To say I thoroughly enjoyed it, would be an understatement. Everything was so delicately curated down to the packaging and tastes and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of inclusions within the box.

Additionally, I found the snack guide so fascinating. Inside you learn not only about each treat as you taste it, but there are even narratives about the local traditions and family businesses crafting these confections.

Japan is a destination high on my bucket list to visit. But until I can go, savoring these authentic snacks has satisfied my travel itch.

If you’re looking for ways to weave more travel experiences into your everyday life, try a snack box like this one by Sakuraco.

Not to your taste? Try the Tokyo Treat box instead!
