About Your Host

I’ve spent my life in food. For 10 years, I worked in restaurants, learning firsthand how kitchens run and how meals bring people together. Then, for 20 years, my parents and I owned and operated an online food business, connecting home cooks with gourmet ingredients from around the world.

That experience gave me a deep understanding of food — not just how it tastes, but how it tells the story of a place. Now, as a travel advisor and food expert, I create retreats where travelers can experience destinations through the lens of their kitchens, markets, and dining tables.

In San Miguel, I’ll take you beyond the surface to discover the city’s culinary side — not just where to eat, but how food shapes the culture. Together, we’ll explore, taste, and share meals you’ll remember long after the trip is over.
