The late renegade chef Anthony Bourdain believed that breaking bread with strangers around the world had the power to unite us.

Over the course of his career, Bourdain traveled to more than a hundred countries including Vietnam, Morocco, Iceland, and so many more.

This was his formula for a fulfilling life: "I travel around the world, eat a lot of shit, and basically do whatever the fuck I want.”

In his shows, he used profanity and never hid his true feelings, but he was always aware that he hit the jackpot when it came to his career.

Bourdain once asked, “What do you do after your dreams come true?"

But Bourdain was always candid about his personal struggles that haunted him even in the best of times — past addictions and a looming depression.

In 2018, Bourdain committed suicide while in France filming an episode of his show "Parts Unknown." He was 61 years old.

As Barack Obama put it, "He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him.”

Here's what we can learn from Bourdain's journey, which was full of food, adventure, and self-discovery.
