About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Inspire people to eat real food and have fun in the kitchen with real food ingredients!

ABOUT ME
I have been travelling the world for over 15 years.

I love inspiring people to eat real food and cook with real ingredients. I encourage people to support locals, eat local food, and get out in the world and experience all its wonderful offerings.

Meeting people is what I love most. There's always something to learn and amazing conversations and meals to be had.

I love nature, foraging, cooking, reading, dancing, hiking, swimming, and enjoying life with positive happy community.
