With Husband In Tow – Food Travel Experts

What Is Food Travel?

Amber and Eric Hoffman

With husband in tow.

We’ve been traveling together for over 20 years, always traveling with a focus on local food and drink. Understanding how people eat is the best way to understand their culture. This blog explores why we travel for food and why you should too.

In this travel blog, we focus on food, drink, and luxury travel, because that’s how we like to travel. This includes everything from street food to fine dining, from food tours to exploring local markets, from wine and cocktails to craft beer and coffee. We travel on our stomachs and want you to be able to do the same. We offer concrete tips on what and where to eat when traveling, but also try to tell the stories behind the food we eat.

Our Food Travel Guides

We’ve created food and travel guides for some of our favorite destinations.

Hello, my name is Tina. After  stepping away from a successful career, I started to invest my more time into my passions: traveling, cooking, hiking, water sports and practicing yoga.   As I have aged, I began to incorporate healthy practices into my life and travels. Hiking is my favorite way to incorporate activity into my travels.  

It is important to keep in mind that a healthy life is about balance, so don't be surprised if you see me grabbing a gelato or dining out with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a plate of fried shrimp from time to time! I'm all about listening to my body and nourishing it how it needs. 

where do i live?

That's a hard question...I am a St. Louis, MO native, but my husband and I have moved 26 times and have lived in 8 different states. We have homes in Jupiter, FL, Gonzales, LA, and a floating home in Tortola. If you can't already tell, I love to wander the earth!   I keep my passport in my purse and a list of places I’d like to go in my wallet. I am always ready for a new adventure or a new culinary experience with family and friends.

Young Baby Boomers experiencing the world, one delicious bite at a time.

Two topics that repeatedly comes up in all my conversations –  what are we eating and where are we going. I have a deep, loving relationship with food and travel. They are my second and third passions. My first passion is the people with whom I eat, drink and travel.  I want to share my curiosity, energy and enthusiasm for travel and food, to inspire you to visit a new place or try a new recipe. You can find my work on TravelbyVacationRental.com , Adventures.com , ShortWeeksLongWeekends.com , in UpandAway Magazine and on this website.

I come from a family of travel lovers and foodies. I have traveled to 53 countries, 49 US States, and 5 continents. My love of cooking started young, in the kitchens of my grandmothers, one Italian, one German. I married my college sweetie, in part, because he promised we would see the world, and we have. It was been an amazing 42 years. We have 2 incredible children, who love to travel, and four grandsons. You will see them in many of my posts.

Mel: @girleatworld

View this post on Instagram 🇫🇷 Day 2 of #TastyTravels with @hotelsdotcom in Paris! There are so much good pastry here that I've literally been eating them all day. I was so jetlagged last night that I passed out before the sun even set (which is like at 11pm here!) and consequently woke up very early at 4am. So I took the first metro at 5:45am to Eiffel Tower for sunrise. I arrived at 6am and the place was EMPTY! well, except for couples shooting their bridal photos. And of course I brought my macarons… for breakfast 😂! These are from Pierre Hermé, a crowd's favorite when it comes to macarons in Paris. I got the Rose, Ispahan and Jasmine flavor, also Jardin Andalou (not pictured but it's mandarin orange and raspberry). surprisingly Jasmine was my favorite even though I tend to not like flowery fragrant flavors, but this one was perfect! What I like the most about Pierre Hermé is that the taste of their pastries are not too overwhelmingly sweet. A must try when you are in Paris. #shotoniphone8plus #shotoniphone #eiffel #paris #macaron #pierrehermé #pierreherme #GirlEatParis A post shared by ❤️ Mel's Food & Travel log (@girleatworld) on Jun 27, 2018 at 3:57am PDT

Eva: @evakosmasflores

View this post on Instagram I don't often share the meals that have become a staple of our household on the blog, mainly because I've made them so many times that they've lost that new and shiny sparkle in my mind, and I'd rather try my hand at making and shooting something new. 👩🏻‍🍳 . After having these for dinner every month for well over a year, I've finally gotten around to sharing the recipe with you all on the blog. These Moroccan Meatballs come with a lemony greek yogurt sauce and roasted broccolini, which is also delightfully lemony. Everything is made on a sheet pan in the oven, and takes less than 40 minutes to make from start to finish. 🤩 . The meatballs themselves are packed full of delicious spices and aromatics, savory ground pork or lamb (your choice!), diced onion, and chopped gooey dates that becomes like little caramelized bombs inside each meatball. It's the simplest dinner staple in our house, and also one of the favorites (along with veggie tacos, which I'll share another time). 🧡 . You can grab the recipe via the link in profile, can't wait for you to dive in! 👆🏼 . . . . . . . #firstweeat #eattheworld #heresmyfood #foodandwine #foodiegram #farmfresh #eatpretty #buzzfeedfood #todayfood #farmtofork #recipeoftheday #forkfeed #tastingtable #seriouseats #foodoftheday #insiderfood #lovecooking #homemadefood #lifeandthyme #seasonalfood #feedfeed #foooodieee #drooolclub #food4thought #foodadventure #foodieblog #foragebyfolk #instafood #eatmunchies #fromscratch A post shared by Eva Kosmas Flores 🌿 Photo Food (@evakosmasflores) on May 23, 2019 at 7:16am PDT

View this post on Instagram Notizen📝*(aus meinem Herzen): bin heute aufgestanden, direkt mit Depression, sowie auch die Tage zuvor. Und ich habe geweint. Ja! Allein in dieser Wohnung. ALLEINSEIN. Ein unglaubliches Gefühl der Leere, Beklemmung und der permanente Wunsch nach Ablenkung. Und ich wurde gewarnt. Vor genau diesem Gefühl. Und ich? Ich wollte es nicht glauben. Ich wollte es wieder probieren. Nur meine Schuld? Der eigene Körper. Er schreit. Er schreit nach Liebe, nach was das nicht mehr da ist, nach Trost, nach mehr. MEHR. Das frisst mich innerlich auf. ICH und ALLEINSEIN. PERFEKT! Wie habe ich das in der Vergangenheit geliebt. Zeit nur für mich. An alle die denken ich sei nur noch traurig, an alle die meinen die Realität sei Märchenfilm. Das hier: DAS ist Realität. Das ist normal. Das alles ist so menschlich und dafür muss man sich nich schämen. Denn loslassen tut weh. Ja. Dieses Gefühl. Wenn man merkt, dass man etwas loslassen sollte, aber trotzdem weiter daran festhält. Weil man immer noch die Hoffnung hat, es würde alles wieder gut werden. Tja! Aber weg laufen war auf Dauer keine gute Idee. Alles auf einmal. JETZT. Viele Entscheidungen. Viele Änderungen. Eine Notbremse, die hätte niemals schlimmer sein können. Mich macht diese Zerrissenheit wahnsinnig. Die innere Balance wieder zu finden wird ein schwieriger Weg, wenn man diese irgendwo verloren hat. Ich gehe nach draußen.Der Himmel, er weint. Wie meine Seele. Vor fast einem Monat. Es war ein wunderschöner Tag. Und das hier wird mein Sommer💀. . . . 🍺 HOLY SHIT ALE. Ist das Bier zu stark, bist du zu schwach. Bei glatten 10% vol. ist hier der Name Programm und das ist genau mein Ding. Der erste Schluck, der Schock, "Jammern auf höchstem Niveau" würde ich sagen. Dieses DoubleIPA hat sehr viel Substanz. Das Bier wirkt schon beim ersten Schluck bitter mit einem Mix aus Citrus und Orange. Alles in allem ein sehr bekömmliches Tröpfchen, welches auch gut in den Kopf geht, soviel steht fest. Ein wirklich sehr gelungenes Bier.

A History of Moscow in 13 Dishes

David Moscow travels the world to discover deliciousness From Scratch

By cristine struble | feb 29, 2020.

Have you wondered why some meals just taste better? David Moscow goes on a food adventure in the new show From Scratch and uncovers the secret to delicious food.

Sometimes the most memorable meals have a story behind them. David Moscow discovers the stories behind the food can and do create the most delicious dish. In the new television series, From Scratch , this culinary adventure can encourage foodies to explore the beauty of making food from scratch.

While the home kitchen holds a bounty of deliciousness, sometimes convenience overtakes cooking from scratch. When a cook takes the time to use quality ingredients, appreciate the craftsmanship and uncover the passion behind the ingredients, that meal can become more than just sustenance. It can become a gift.

In the new FYI series , From Scratch , David Moscow goes on a culinary journey. As he travels the world, David seeks to recreate a chef’s recipe. But, this show is more than just cooking. David explores the stories behind each of those ingredients. Through this culinary adventure, people see that food is intertwined with a country’s history and culture.

Many people might know David Moscow from his feature film debut in Big . Over the years he has numerous film, television and stage credits. Additionally he co-developed and co-produced the first stage production of In the Heights and has produced several films. In this new FYI show, he puts himself into the food world.

In the first ten episodes of From Scratch , David dives into a culinary world that many foodies would dream to discover. Even though more people are appreciating farm to table cuisine, David takes that approach to the source. From milking a cow to make butter to foraging for the perfect ingredient for a dish, the show proves that ingredients bring the story of food to the table.

Recently, David Moscow graciously answered some questions about his new show, From Scratch . While some people may not have the opportunity to go on this extraordinary culinary adventure, the lessons learned from his experience can be brought to any home cook’s table.

Cristine Struble: Many Americans are focused on convenient food (or delivery, grab & go), how can your show get people to discover the deeper connection that food can bring a person?

David Moscow: While sourcing ingredients is definitely hard and hard to find time for in our demanding days/schedules, it also can be quite fun and sometimes even exciting. These thrills are present all across the season. But they also sit right up alongside the simple pleasures of wandering in the woods looking for mushrooms or fishing on a river under a midnight sun. The hope is that our show will shake that love of nature and the joy that come with work particularly when it ends in a pizza pie.

CS: There is a growing movement to know your farmer or know where food comes from – do you think that people are understanding that where food comes from impacts the how food tastes?

DM: There are a couple oppositional things happening at once. At the same time that a few people are able to take the time and money to know where our food is coming from, the majority are becoming even more removed through delivery apps and the growth of fast food. Thoughtless eating has never been such a problem. BUT we are only a generation or two away from a healthy interaction with the food we eat. And I do think that all people still pine for making fresh food and eating it with friends around – something that is innately part of being human.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by fyi, tv (@fyi)

CS: As you traveled the world, did you find that food traditions are stronger in some countries?

DM: I found that there was a direct relationship with free time, a social safety net and strong food traditions. Places like Iceland, Sardinia and Finland have little fast food and place great importance in the people who harvest and source the meals they eat. Some of the other places are fighting to keep their traditions alive in the face of the cheap fast food everywhere in modern life.

CS: While many people think that global cuisines are very different, there are often some underlying similarities. What similarities surprised you the most?

DM: When building the episodes for the show, we found that there aren’t that many major ingredients across the planet. A huge chunk of what we eat are grass, seeds, fish and few other animals. And we eat these things with the help of fire or fermentation. Cooking meat on a grill and making alcohol out of fermenting food is everywhere.

CS: This show seems to encourage people to better understand the food and culture connection. What’s one easy way to start that type of food conversation on the typical family home?

DM: I think apple picking (or any kind of fruit picking) as a family outing is an amazing starting point. It gets you out in the fresh air and gets your blood flowing – and I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t like a crisp apple pulled from a tree. During the shoot I sat my son down in a strawberry patch to graze before he could walk. The act of picking and eating with his own hands has had a lasting effect. Strawberry was one of his first words and still to today is his favorite fruit to eat.

CS: You travel the world in this series. Which location was your favorite? Which meal was your favorite?

DM: Each one of the places I went was a spot I had dreamed of going and each has a special place in my heart. How can I compare going on a safari in South Africa vs taking a boat off the Amalfi coast. I would say the same with the food. I had the best pizza on the planet and the best tacos. I had incredible Icelandic seafood and Finnish lake fish. They each stand alone.

If you would like to follow along with David Moscow’s culinary adventure, From Scratch airs on FYI and can be streamed online. New episodes air on Sundays at 6 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. CT.

5 New Hotels Where the Past Meets the Present

Turrets, towers and tapestries greet guests at these evocative hotels in reimagined historic buildings in London, New York and beyond. (The food’s not bad, either.)

By Stephanie Rosenbloom

When is a hotel more than a place to sleep? When it’s in a building with a storied past, allowing guests to go back in time to the Gilded Age or Edwardian era as easily as they go to the gym or spa.

Nowadays you can check into a 17th-century former soap factory on the French Riviera, or part of the Old War Office in London, or a Renaissance-palazzo-style building that was once a bank in New York. Here are five new hotels in historic spaces where you can experience the past and present, delighting in the architecture of vanished days even as you indulge in the latest luxuries.

Château de Théoule

Théoule-sur-mer, france.

This seaside respite on the Côte d’Azur was once a 17th-century soap factory yet looks like a castle thanks to a Scottish lord who, in the early 1900s, added turrets and crenelated ramparts. Near the Massif de l’Estérel mountain range, the property opened this month with 44 rooms and suites, some in the castle and others in villas. All have an airy feel, thanks to linen curtains, rattan light fixtures, hardwood floors and views of the Bay of Cannes.

While the building begs to be explored, soft sand and sunshine are the order of the day — and the hotel has its own beach, La Plage Blanche, with 90 sun beds. Château de Théoule is about 20 minutes from Cannes, though if you get hungry there’s no need to leave the sand. A beach restaurant and lounge has cocktails — like the Strambery Fields (elderberry-infused gin, vanilla syrup, strawberry purée, tonic and egg white) — and menu items that include salads, pissaladière (think focaccia with confit onions, anchovies and black olives), and grilled octopus with citrus fennel and chimichurri. If you can bear to leave your lounge chair, explore the area’s hiking trails, swim in the pool, or visit the hotel spa for a massage or body treatment.

As evening descends, head to Mareluna on the terrace of the castle overlooking the bay for Mediterranean food and wine with dishes like cuttlefish tagliatelle with avocado and smoked herring eggs. Prices from 360 euros, or about $390 in low season, and from €920 in high season (mid-June to mid-September). The hotel will close for the season in mid-November.

Raffles London at the OWO

The former workplace of government and military officials, including Winston Churchill , the Old War Office (known as the New War Office when it was built in the early 1900s) has long been a place of intrigue. Fans of James Bond may recognize its Edwardian Baroque - style exterior from some of the films, and indeed Ian Fleming , the creator of Bond and a former naval intelligence officer, is said to have visited the building. It’s now open to the public for the first time, with part of it reborn as the 120-room-and-suite Raffles London at the OWO, the first Raffles Hotels & Resorts property in Britain.

Inside the grand space, some of the offices of political and military leaders have become suites, including one named for Churchill. There are also corner suites that take their names from female spies and other women linked to the property’s history, including Viscountess Astor , the first woman to sit in the House of Commons, and World War II operatives such as Vera May Atkins , a spy who recruited British secret agents.

The hotel’s interior design is by Thierry Despont , the French architect and designer known for his work on the Ritz Paris and the centennial restoration of the Statue of Liberty, who died last year.

Strategic planning taking place nowadays involves when to book an appointment at the hotel’s spa, which spans four floors. Historic spaces have new purposes, like a former library that’s been transformed into a restaurant, Saison by Mauro Colagreco , with Mediterranean dishes from the chef, perhaps best known for his Michelin-starred restaurant, Mirazur , in France. At Mauro Colagreco , another of the chef’s restaurants at the hotel, tasting menus highlight seasonal British fruits and vegetables.

Visit the Drawing Room , a wood-paneled lounge with a Steinway piano, for afternoon tea or something stronger, which you can sip while overlooking the Horse Guards at Buckingham Palace. Or slip off for a drink in rooms formerly used by MI5 at the underground Spy Bar . Prices from 922 pounds, or about $1,162.

Hotel Casa Lucia

Buenos aires.

Once one of Latin America’s tallest buildings, the Edificio Mihanovich — commissioned in the 1920s by Nicolas Mihanovich, a shipping businessman — is now home to this new 142-room-and-suite hotel. Inspired by the shape of a lighthouse, the building was among the first things sailors could see when coming into port, according to Casa Lucia, and Mihanovich wanted it to be tall enough so that he could see his own ships.

These days, guests can benefit from his ambitions with bird’s-eye views from some of the soft-hued contemporary rooms and suites. Many have balconies with outdoor showers, and spots overlooking Buenos Aires and the Río de la Plata.

In addition to being near the river, you’re in the midst of all that the chic Recoleta neighborhood has to offer: French-inspired architecture, boutiques, galleries and tourist destinations such as the Recoleta Cemetery , where you can visit the tomb of the former first lady Eva Perón .

Back at the hotel, savor Argentine cuisine and, of course, wine at Cantina Restaurant , then go next door to Le Club Bacan , a moody cocktail bar with a large selection of Argentine wines. Later this spring, you should be able to drop by the completed fitness center or the spa, which will have a heated pool. Prices from $670.

The Fifth Avenue Hotel

Located in a building that’s more than a century old, as well as a new 24-story glass space called the Tower, this 153-room-and-suite hotel in Manhattan’s NoMad neighborhood harks back to the Gilded Age, when it was a home and carriage house. In the early 1900s the building was sold, eventually becoming the Second National Bank , a five-story Renaissance-palazzo-style structure designed by McKim, Mead & White, the architectural firm behind New York’s original Pennsylvania Station and the Brooklyn Museum .

Step inside today and you’ll see a shimmering lobby with chandeliers, walls paneled in antique mirrors, marble flooring and cabinets replete with curiosities. The interior design by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio is at once playful and sumptuous, featuring tapestries and walls saturated with colors and patterns. The guest rooms mix old and new with antiques, Murano glass chandeliers and wardrobes inspired by traditional Chinese cabinets.

Going out to eat in New York is a must. But the chef Andrew Carmellini , a James Beard Award winner known for restaurants like A Voce, Café Boulud and Locanda Verde, tempts guests to stay in. The hotel’s Café Carmellini is his take on modern Italian and French cooking, with a menu that includes dishes like black bass forestière and cannelloni of lobster and golden osetra. Afterward, drop by the art-filled, wood-paneled Portrait Bar , with an atmosphere inspired by Italian villas, for a drink by a fireplace. Prices from $895.

Charleston, S.C.

The 25 rooms, suites and residences in this stylish boutique hotel are spread across three buildings in downtown Charleston, including two from the Victorian era. And they are ideal if you want the amenities of a hotel and the flexibility of a vacation rental. All rooms have full kitchens, as well as washers and dryers. Some have French doors leading to private balconies and terraces. You’ll hardly want to hole up in your room, though. An outdoor terrace off the main lobby has a fireplace that invites you to pause after exploring the neighborhood’s romantic streets dotted with gas lamps, historic architecture, boutiques and restaurants.

Alternatively, wander over to the hotel’s Lequeux-Williams House, a Greek Revival-style building that the hotel says dates to 1834. Formerly a private residence, it has been repurposed into restaurants overseen by the chef Jason Stanhope , the winner of a James Beard Award for Charleston’s popular Fig restaurant. They include the Quinte , an oyster bar and cocktail spot (you can order seafood towers, soups, sandwiches and ice cream, too), named for a 1918 billiards hall that was in the same location. Or try Lowland , a tavern with inviting dining spaces spread over two floors, including an outdoor dining area on cobblestone that’s hundreds of years old. Wherever you sit, you can tuck into comfort food like a biscuit with farmer cheese and pepper jelly, or a burger and fries. Prices from $399.

Finding and catching endangered frogs in the cloudy mountains of Panama

A university team of women scientists traveled to el valle de antón for ongoing research on a pathogen killing different amphibian populations.

A giant hand holding a plastic bag appears in the sky. With the fist almost closed, it lunges at the ground, trying to catch something, and fails. Once again, the hand jumps from side to side, trying to catch the frog, which is faster. It fails. There is more leaping, more plastic, more speeding, and finally, inside the close fist, the frog is caught. The giant hand ties the bag and places it inside a backpack.

El Valle de Antón, in Panama, is not only a picturesque town located in the crater of an extinct volcano in the Panamanian highlands, but is it also, from my journalistic perspective, a perfect place for biological research, with its cooler temperatures, its mountains, waterfalls, its biodiversity, and the cloud forests. Researchers from the University of Nevada, Reno, seem to think so, too, as a team of women scientists consisting of two postdocs, one college student, two high school students, and two journalists embarked last August on a trip from Reno to El Valle , a 2-hours’ drive from Panama City. The reason for the trip is one of horror and hope: there is a highly lethal disease called chytridiomycosis that has been devastating for Panamanian amphibian populations, including the iconic Panamanian golden frogs ( Atelopus varius/zeteki ), their beloved national animal. This and other species were rumored to be extinct. However, the University and other research teams found evidence that several amphibian species are persisting, and even recovering, long after the lethal disease outbreaks in the 1990s.

Now the University team, led by associate professor Jamie Voyles in the Department of Biology, travels twice a year, during wet and dry transition periods, to Panama to collect samples from the frog skin secretions as the Chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease that affects their skin and all its functions. Then, in the laboratory, they conduct experiments to test for changes in the pathogen – called Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis or Bd – in the frogs. They found that the frogs now have better defenses against the pathogen than before. They are fighting back!  

Walking in the wet boots of a scientist

The day starts early, at 7 in the morning. It takes a ride up the mountains, on steep slopes, in a 4x4 truck with geckos stuck to the windshield to arrive at each site, some of which are fairly remote. Dressed with rain boots and rain jackets, the scientists carried all their research equipment in waterproof backpacks.  

But getting to the site of each transect was the easy part. It then took a memorized hike in the forest dodging barbed wire and fallen trees and walking in zig zags from one side of the river to the other, sometimes losing sight of the other crew members due to the fog, to finally arrive at the transects. I stopped several times to empty the water that kept filling my borrowed rain boots.

At each site, the researchers take a moment to collect biological data, such as water and air temperature, humidity, and water pH, before they try catching the frogs, explained Carolina Lambertini, postdoctoral associate at the biology department at the University. Then, the search begins. They have three focal frog species: the Panamanian common rocket frog ( Colostethus panamansis ), Warszewitsch’s frog ( Lithobates warszewitschii ) and the Panamanian golden frog ( Atelopus varius/zeteki ). But they also catch and sample other species if they find them, to detect the pathogen.

Walking up the stream, they were able to find and catch the two first species and a salamander, but we could not find any golden frog. Researchers haven’t found any golden frogs in these transects since 2012-2013. Some frogs were harder to catch than others. The rocket frog is faster and harder to catch and ended up leaping from the hands to the t-shirts of the researchers.

Before catching the frog, and when possible, they take the frog’s body temperature and the surface temperature.

“We then try to catch them using plastic bags, to avoid contamination, and once in the bag we get their body temperature, the time of the catch, and at what part of the transect they were collected; we also write if they were in a rock, moss, or so on,” explained Maria Delia Basanta, the other postdoctoral associate who traveled with us.  

At the end of each transect, the researchers sit in a circle on the river bank and start the sampling process in the field. While inside the bag, frogs are weighed and measured with the Snout-Ventral Length, or SVL, which is the measurement taken from the tip of the frog's snout to the cloaca–the opening for the digestive and reproductive tracts.

“With gloves, we take the frog from the bag, and with a swab, we follow a sterilized protocol that consists of swabbing the legs five times, the feet five times, hands five times, and 10 on the belly,” added Basanta. During the swabbing process, some of the frogs stay quiet, some play dead, and others like to stretch, showing off their long legs. They take notes of all the characteristics and, once all the frogs have been sampled, they are released back into the transect while the team walks back down the stream.

“The idea with the swabbing is to detect this pathogen. Then, at the lab, we study how the frogs are affected, and try to understand how the amphibian communities are prevailing,” Basanta continued.

After releasing the frogs, the crew finds a different location to have lunch, chat about what they found, and prepare for the rest of the day, which sometimes consisted of doing some sample processing at home, and some other times included projects with the community. Postdoctoral associate Basanta dressed several times as a bright yellow golden frog to teach kids and teenagers at the local schools about the importance of these amphibians and the protection of the ecosystems.

Ongoing research

Some of the lab work is done at The Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute's Center for Species Survival and El Valle Amphibian Conservation Center in Panama. It is also done by students and researchers at the University.

Lambertini is researching what is the role of their skin secretion as an immune response against the infection, and Basanta is trying to see if genetic changes are happening in the amphibians in comparison with the samples taken before the pathogen arrived.

Voyles, who didn’t travel this time to El Valle, explained that what they have found is that frogs now seem to have better defenses against the same pathogen.

“We have learned that it's not the pathogen that has changed in this system, but rather that the amphibian seemed to be fighting back with their defenses, their immune systems,” she explained.

They are trying to understand how this process is happening for different species because they all have slightly different immune responses to the infection.

“Some species are doing well. The species called Lithobates warszewitschii is recovering much better than many of the other species in the area, particularly compared to the golden frog, which is still present but it's very hard to find. So we want to understand the difference between these two species. Why has one recovered so well and the other one is still struggling to recover from this disease outbreak?”

The grant that Voyles's team currently has will keep going for two more years, but they are hoping to find more opportunities to keep doing research.

“It is really important to understand why these species have gone missing, and how we can facilitate their recoveries. From another perspective, as we know from the recent COVID pandemic, there's a lot that scientists don't understand about infectious diseases, so this research is also useful,” Voyles added.

Back to El Valle de Antón, with the India Dormida mountain, a profile that resembles a sleeping indigenous woman, as the background, groups of people celebrated last August 14, the Golden Frog Day with a week of activities that included collecting trash from the streets, science fairs with students, and a lot of dancing.
