About Your Guide


Hi! I’m Valerie, and like you, I love to travel and discover the world through food. I am inspired by Anthony Bourdain as a traveler, adventurous eater, and writer.
  
I started this site to help people follow in Tony’s footsteps, and to open our mouths, minds, and hearts to one another through culinary travel. 
 
While most of the resources on this site were written by me, I’ve enlisted some fellow Bourdain enthusiasts and travelers to help share these resources.

Let’s explore together,
in Bourdain’s memory!
