The disconnect didn't help my morale at workI started to feel isolated, lonely, and disconnected from my coworkers. AdvertisementFrom my experience, I know how difficult it can be to form meaningful connections with coworkers that you only interact with through a screen. When work gets frustrating, and I feel lonely or isolated, I find coworkers an invaluable support system. I want to prioritize personal connections throughout my career, which means stepping out from behind the screen and being together.

I lived in Rota, Spain, for a while on assignment with the Navy. I grew up in Texas and was used to driving everywhere and cranking the AC, but that changed in Spain. I walked, biked, and carpooled to save money, ate locally, and learned to keep cool on the cheap. Now that I'm back Stateside I've taken the lessons I learned while deployed in Rota, Spain, and used them to save thousands by employing a few simple lifestyle tweaks. I stopped spending on things and chose experiences insteadIn that tiny Spanish apartment, I had very little room for things.

☆ You Don’t Have to Wait for Peak Tomato

While it has been summer for me mentally since the first warm weekend of May, the season officially kicked off yesterday with the summer solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. I’ve anticipated this time of year with equal parts enthusiasm and dread. (Being a summer baby who can’t stand the heat leads to some complicated feelings.) Then there are the meals that punctuate these summer pursuits: tomato sandwiches in the sand, chilled tomato salads in the grass, icy pitchers of gazpacho passed around a rickety wrought-iron table. In a few weeks, when tomatoes are at their most delicious, I’ll adorn them with olive oil, red wine vinegar and a Parmesan and olive bread-crumb mixture flecked with fennel seeds, a recipe courtesy of Christian Reynoso.

Which means if I can get to the store early today, I can make Ali Slagle’s new recipe for teriyaki salmon or my old one for pan-roasted salmon with jalapeño (above) this evening, and eat it with steamed rice and Mark Bittman’s salad of asparagus ribbons tossed in sesame oil and rice vinegar. As for the rest of the week. “Just made this and mid-meal felt the urgent need to come here and rave about it,” one subscriber noted on the recipe. “Super easy and super quick to make!”

On his new TV show, celebrated chef José Andrés goes into a restaurant kitchen in Spain and confronts a massive moray eel. “Nothing can be more simple and more sophisticated at the same time.”That eel is just one delicious moment in Discovery+’s “José Andrés and Family in Spain,” which follows the chef, restaurateur and humanitarian on a food tour through his homeland with his three American-raised daughters, Carlota, Inés and Lucia Andrés. The elder Andrés — who has drawn attention to Spanish food and helped put a spotlight on humanitarian disasters with his World Central Kitchen — can hardily contain himself. “Happiness happens when you mix different people and different colors and different places all in one plate,” José Andrés says onscreen. “Spain is the excuse,” says José Andrés.

Of course, it’s subjective according to personal tastes, but this is CNN Travel’s take on some of the best food cultures and destinations around the world. United StatesAmerica knows how to take a good food -- for instance, the hamburger -- and make it even better. With influences from China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar and a royal culinary tradition, Thai cuisine is the best of many worlds. The best part about eating Thai food in Thailand, though, is the hospitality. Sun, beach, service with a smile and a plastic bag full of som tam – that’s the good life.
