The ideas and people behind The Lush Guide

The Mission

At Roamworks, we follow our tastebuds around the world and report our discoveries to our readers.

We cover destinations that indulge your passion for travel and food.

We think local cuisine defines a vacation. Think great food in great locations.

Imagine lobster rolls eaten on a Maine sea wall. A plate of richly spiced shrimp creole at a New Orleans dive. A burrito slathered with New Mexico green chile. Conch fritters and a Goombay Smash on a Bahamian terrace.

This is what we live for and seek out for you.
