Nice to Meet You
Alongside my 30-year career as a chef, I’ve spent 15 years in the concierge and hospitality industry, working across multiple countries and cities. I’m deeply passionate about the power of travel, the richness of human connection, and the joy of experiencing food that is not only delicious and nutritious, but also rooted in regional and historical tradition.
So far, I’ve explored 23 countries and had the privilege of cooking in eight different regions around the world—it’s been nothing short of extraordinary.
I truly believe that when you step outside your comfort zone and immerse yourself in new people, places, and flavors, you naturally cultivate a sense of gratitude and abundance that enriches your everyday life.
My Philosophy
I book travel for clients based on a shared vision or lifestyle towards travel. A REAL adventure, and a submersion into an unknown culture. The client and I share these ideas and things……..
How wonderful it is to see a new world, so strange to you, and feel exhilarated by the freshness of it all. Like a new start….. a baptism into the unknown future. It’s so powerful, and necessary for growth in all aspects of life. You can experience this traveling an hour outside of your home town or to the other side of the world. Either way, allowing yourself to dive in and find commonality between a different culture and your own is so enlightening. Plus, exercising ALL your SENSES, at once…… it’s such an adventure worth having.
Travel gives you self confidence that will carry you through in your everyday life ….. I think, Regular travel is the healthiest and most balanced lifestyle choice one can have. It’s a belief first, then a lifetime of practice. You can achieve a balance in Spiritual, mental, physical and relational health with travel, plus the bonus of memories and stories to share with others for a life time. What a gift it is to have the ability to travel and experience a small part of another persons life and culture. Most importantly, what you can give to the people you meet in other places (time, thoughts, money, assistance, acts of kindness and love) can be one of the most life giving experiences.
Being a Modern Wanderer
You believe and enjoy that life is full of organic seasons and changes. God created the world this way to provide deep relationship with him and what is to come, plus balance on earth. There is wisdom knowing and understanding the past, but to then take that knowledge and use it for today and tomorrows purpose; THIS is the practice of modernizing what was OLD in you, to someone newer and better for the future. Wandering, praying, relating to people around you…….trusting and believing that tomorrow will be even greater than today.
Modern wandering….. it’s a lifestyle.
