CURRENT MISSION

To connect with as many cultures as possible

ABOUT ME

Bruce Chatwin believed that people are the happiest when they travel, I just thought those who didn't like to travel had different genetic codings. I love adventures, good or bad, they make good stories. It's also good to be outside of your comfort zone I spent my twenties trapising through museums and flea markets in Europe. Now, I am endlessly fascinated by the food that people eat. The produce that grows in places I don't live in, and the way food was prepared in different parts of the world. It is my way of connecting with cultures that are different from mine, I'd love to know what is yours.

PHILOSOPHY

Go with the flow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The David the in Louvre, Venice when it snowed, and eating out in a field watching the sunset.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk you to death about food, where it comes from and how to cook it. If you like to write, I will read your manuscript and share my thoughts with you. I'm always up for shopping so potential fashion victims and clothes horses will probably find my closet entertaining.
