Co-Creator, Mangoes & Palm Trees | Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) | Nutritionist THE GLOBAL DISCOVERY: MANGOES & PALM TREES I am a food and travel writer and the co-creator of Mangoes & Palm Trees. Alongside my husband and our son, Victor, I lead a nomadic life documenting the world’s most vibrant flavors from our base in Southeast Asia. As a medically trained professional, my mission is to find the scientific truth in cultural traditions. We specialize in mapping "Safe-Plate" street food protocols, fusing cultural immersion with clinical travel safety to prove that global adventure can be healthy and vibrant. CLINICAL SCIENCE MEETS HOLISTIC WISDOM My perspective is built on the discipline of elite athletics, the precision of clinical medicine, and a deep curiosity about global health rituals. - The Discipline of Performance: As a former elite rhythmic gymnast, I learned early that nutrition is a chemical requirement for resilience. This immersion in high-performance biology defines my work today. - Medical Precision (DMD): As a Doctor of Dental Medicine, I spent years on the front lines of systemic health. I saw how inflammation and nutrition manifested in patients long before they reached a general physician. To bridge the gap between clinical science and vitality, I immersed myself in nutriciology, turning "wellness" into a measurable, biological reality. GLOBAL VITALITY & WELL-BEING Living and studying internationally, including time in South East Asia, transformed my perspective. I believe you cannot truly understand well-being without seeing how the world lives—finding the harmony between movement, environment, and tradition. I strip away the noise of the wellness industry and replace it with science-backed, soulful wisdom. EXPERTISE FOR MEDIA & FEATURES I provide expert commentary on the intersection of medicine, nutrition, and travel: - Nutritional Chemistry: How diet dictates mental and physical performance. - Systemic Health: Why oral health is the window into longevity. - Global Vitality: How world food cultures and "Safe-Plate" travel impact human biology. I don’t just teach well-being; I live it. My mission is to help you understand your own biology so you can write your own story of health. Connect for expert commentary, wellness consulting, and global partnerships.

I’m the Founder & Managing Director of Eating Europe, where I’ve been helping travelers discover Europe’s food, culture, and local life since 2011. My journey started when I moved to Rome in 2009 and fell in love with how food was woven into daily life. What began as casual walks through my neighborhood — introducing friends to the local butcher, gelato maker, and chefs — grew into food tours that offer travelers authentic, personal connections to the cities they visit. Since then, I’ve worked closely with local chefs, artisans, and small businesses across Europe to create immersive food experiences in cities like Rome, Lisbon, Amsterdam, and London. My expertise is in European food culture, culinary traditions, and experiential travel — showing people how food can tell the real story of a place and its people. Topics I can speak to: European food culture & traditions Experiential travel & food tourism How food connects people to place Building authentic food experiences Local food scenes in Rome, Lisbon, Amsterdam, London, and more

My perspective was forged by 15 years directing luxury operations. From managing elite properties to overseeing maritime logistics on Spanish yachts, I mastered the true standard of excellence. That chapter taught me the intense attention to detail required to run world-class operations—precision, integrity, and the ability to anticipate a guest's every need before they even realize it. A decade ago, I pivoted from managing luxury to documenting life. For the last 10 years, I’ve been a culinary nomad, traveling the world to meet the people behind the plates. This decade has been about more than just food; it’s been about the stories told in night markets, the friendships forged over shared meals, and the sheer joy of discovery. I traded boardrooms for back alleys and spreadsheets for spice markets, learning that the most "five-star" experiences are often found in the most humble places. Today, I blend those two worlds. I bring the rigor of my professional background to the curiosity of a traveler. Whether I’m researching guajillo chilies or mapping regional spice routes in Southeast Asia, my mission is to find the soul of a destination through its people and its food. I believe every hidden culinary gem deserves to be documented with respect, and every journey should be an adventure shared with the people you love.
