Who I Am?

Along side my chef work, I have 15 years of concierge/hospitality industry work in multiple countries and cities. I’m deeply passionate about the importance of experiencing travel, making relationships and enjoying delicious, nutritious, regional and historical foods. So far ,I’ve traveled to 27 countries and cooked in 8 different regions of the world. I’m in love with the idea that by stepping out of your comfort zone and opening yourself up to new people, places and food; that you  can’t help but accrue gratefulness and a feeling of abundance in your every day life. Revealing A God given purpose that fills your deepest needs in all aspects of life. 

My philosophy:

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 to life or baptism into the unknown future. It’s so powerful, so humbling and always so beautiful. 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, to find direction in life, to WHEREVER you think you are going or hope to be. 

Travel gives you self confidence that will carry you through in your everyday life ….. or at least until your next trip. 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 culture. Most importantly, what can we give to others who are still searching to believe in it AND practice?

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 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, trusting and believing that tomorrow will be even greater than today.  Modern wandering….. it’s a lifestyle.
