I grew up in a lower middle class family and worked my way through college. So I couldn’t afford to travel internationally much until I was in my thirties.
For me, eating exotic food from around the world served as my first introduction to the culture of India, Morocco, the Middle East, Latin America, the Caribbean, etc.
As I fell in love with traditional dishes from around the world, I became more interested in the music, art, and history of these places.
That ever-expanding interest in cultural exploration is what ultimately led me to become a travel writer, which gave me a chance to try all sorts of wonderful and weird food around the world.
Over 20+ years, I got to break bread in local communities, interview local and internationally known chefs (including Anthony Bourdain) and explore traditional cultures on a much deeper level.
