Home isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling. And sometimes, it’s a plate of tacos, a bowl of pozole, or the scent of freshly made tortillas that brings that feeling rushing back. When you move abroad, you know you’ll miss your family and friends... but no one tells you how much you'll crave the simple joy of your favorite dish.
At Paysend, we know how powerful those connections are. Whether it’s a comforting meal or sending money back home to support the people you love, it’s the small things that keep you close — no matter the distance. That’s why we make international money transfers simple, fast and affordable, so you can stay connected to the traditions (and the people) that matter most.
There’s something truly special about Mexican food — the flavor, the ritual, the memories. Even if you’ve emigrated to New York — with its global cuisine and endless dining options — nothing compares to the real taste of home. Sure, you might find a decent taco truck or even a mole on the menu, but unless you’re home, it’s never quite the same. And if you’ve got dietary restrictions? You’ll be happy to know that many traditional dishes are naturally wheat-free — so finding Mexican food that is gluten free isn’t as hard as it sounds.
While you dust off your Eurovision 2024 scorecard to check how the countries ranked, one thing’s for sure: Eurovision continues to bring people together like no other event. Whether you're comparing the wildest outfits or rewatching your favorites on YouTube, the Eurovision Song Contest is a yearly celebration of unity, sequins, and sometimes… surprisingly catchy tunes.
Every May, Europe turns up the volume, grabs the glitter, and settles in for one of the continent’s most iconic traditions: Eurovision. Since 1956, the contest has been bringing together countries from across Europe – and beyond – to celebrate music, culture, and a little friendly competition.
But Eurovision is about more than just key changes and pyrotechnics. It’s about connection. Families and friends cheering for their home country from opposite sides of the globe. Expats tuning in from afar. A shared moment that brings people closer, wherever they live.
Sound familiar? We think so too.
If you’re living gluten-free — whether due to coeliac disease, gluten intolerance or simply personal choice — Mexican food might just be your new best friend. Gluten-free Mexican food includes traditional dishes made with corn-based ingredients like corn tortillas (not flour ones), tamales, rice, beans, grilled meats, fresh salsas, guacamole and slow-cooked stews. When made with care and authentic ingredients, many Mexican dishes are naturally gluten-free and packed with bold, vibrant flavour.
When you move abroad, you expect to miss your friends, your family… maybe even your bed. But what many people don’t anticipate is just how much they’ll miss the food. The way your parents made it. The smell from a market back home. The comforting taste of something familiar when everything around you is new.
Ask any migrant what they miss most and food is almost always near the top of the list. It’s no wonder people love debating which country has the best food in the world — because food is more than just a meal; It’s memories, identity and connection all in one bite, and at Paysend, we’re passionate about connection, and our money transfer service helps us provide that connection between you and your loved ones. Whether you think the best food in the world comes from your grandmother’s kitchen or your favorite street stall, food has a way of grounding us – especially when we’re far from home.
For millions of people around the world, food is a powerful reminder of who they are and where they come from. And when you're living abroad, those small tastes of home matter more than ever.
