Healthy Mexican Steak with Veg Salsa – on a camping stove

Cooking in hostels is always a challenge. Cooking something healthy and delicious is even more of a challenge… one might even call it an experiment. You have to deal with limited utensils, stoves that either burn too hot or not at all, lack of spices and oil and other people …

About the Lite Backpacker

Hello, I’m Helen, AKA The Lite Backpacker – an Australian with an English accent (thanks to having one English parent) on the 30 side of my 20s. Like so many Australians, at 18 I packed up my backpack and headed to Europe, flittering from museum to bar for nearly a year. When I came home I thought I had gotten the “travel bug” out of my system as well as putting on an unhealthy amount of “backpacking weight”. Instead, within 6 months I had booked my next trip, with a vow of finding a way to enjoy travel food without the weight gain. Read More about “About Me”…
