Want to explore the world more meaningfully — one dish, one market, one moment at a time?

In this final installment of my three-part series, I’m wrapping things up by sharing the simple framework I use to explore culture through the lens of food. It’s a method I unconsciously developed during my 22 years in event planning, and it’s become the secret sauce behind some of my most memorable and meaningful travel moments. This approach helps me slow down, connect deeply, and travel with intention.

In this episode, I share:
 📖 How I prep for a trip in a way that fuels connection, not stress
 🍴 My favorite way to discover a culture through food
 🧳 Why systems can actually enhance spontaneity

If you’ve enjoyed the travel stories in this series or want a new way to connect with people and places, this episode is for you!
