CURRENT MISSION to eat and learn to cook food from every region of the world ABOUT ME From 2007-2009, I couchsurfed around the world to learn the local cuisine and culture from new friends (see photos of my 'Cuisine Gurus'). I've published one book about some of my experiences, with more (focused on cuisine and culture) on the way. I enjoyed hosting while volunteering as a chef/hospitality and tourism trainer for a year in Windhoek, Namibia, and recently finished a 2+ year volunteer contract in El Salvador, where I hosted when I was in the city, and not working with communities in the countryside! :) The accumulation of my work experiences are a step towards a bigger vision: With my Vía Cocina - Food Train project in Medellín, I am bringing my fine arts, cuisine, and development work together into a cultural employment skills program, with affordable lessons for locals interested in affordable food from afar (and the chance to make a career out of cooking it). PHILOSOPHY live today, tomorrow you may rest in peace
