“My Assyrian roots, combined with a lifetime of living in various countries, have given me an appreciation for the intrinsic connection between food, culture, and people.”

1. Culinary Discoveries

From my childhood in Tehran, where the vibrant aromas and colors of my mother's kitchen and bustling bazaars ignited my love for food, to my adventures in hay-filled barns in Germany and olive groves in Greece, I've embarked on gastronomic quests that have introduced me to the essence of culinary excellence. Through Travel To Travel, I share my intimate connections with producers and farmers, offering insights into the intricate processes that transform raw ingredients into delectable delights like Valrhona's chocolate, Spain's Cabrales cheese, and Italy's Prosciutto Di Parma.

2. Cultural Immersion

My passion for travel has revealed the power of breaking bread with locals and sipping homemade Rakia during hours-long conversations. This realization blossomed during transformative journeys through Bulgaria and Spain, igniting my mission to share these authentic encounters. With my Assyrian roots and a lifetime of living in various countries, I deeply appreciate the intrinsic connection between food, culture, and people. Through Travel To Travel, I aim to offer you the chance to immerse yourself in the very essence of the places you visit.

3. Environmental Connection

Travel, for me, extends beyond indulging the palate and absorbing cultural nuances; it's also about understanding the environment that sustains us all. Food, culture, and nature are the pillars of society that reveal the heart of any destination. With every journey, we're reminded of our shared identity as citizens of this planet, fostering a deep appreciation for the intricate web of existence.

So, join us on this voyage as we explore the flavors that tell stories, the cultures that shape identities, and the landscapes that awe us into silence.
