Hello fellow travel advisors! I'm a new TA and my niche is fully curated experiences around food and wine for busy professionals!
To me the best part about visiting a new place is learning about the local culture, and what better way to do that than with food!
I'm looking forward to sharing and learning with you all!
When you think of a culturally immersive activity that that had a huge impact on you, what comes to mind first?
For me it was in Mexico harvesting my own produce and then taking a cooking class at an outdoor kitchen to learn authentic dishes.
Love this! Beautiful pics too! When I came to Egypt first as a tourist, I had a dinner experience with a local family, making the meal with the ladies of the multi-generational family.
I sat on the floor with a mezzaluna knife cutting the jute Mallow leaves needed to make the molokhia sauce. This is a green spiced broth that is used with virtually all the food served. It is very traditional to Egyptian meals.
Later I was invited to join them at a family celebration for a new baby It was this time with them that I found a clearer understanding of the generous soul of the beautiful Egyptian people. It is part of their Bedouin influence to any who cross their path.
It is why I felt I had found my soul's home here. Forever changed my life
This is my focus as well. Looking forward to being part of the group!
Breaking the ice here...hello all! I am truly excited about this group as cultural immersion is my jam!
