After checking out our first subscription box, we were hooked! We want to see what else we can find to feed our travel bug. In the next few weeks, we’re going to be checking out some subscription boxes that are food and traveled themed and let you know what we think about each of them. Here are some of the ones that are on our list and why we’re checking them out.

Tips for First Timers
- If you’ve never done subscription boxes, be sure to do some research! There are a ton of different boxes out there, and some companies took payment and then closed and didn’t ship out the boxes.
- Don’t forget to look for promotions that they run for additional free months or giveaways.
