"PULL UP A CHAIR. TAKE A TASTE. COME JOIN US. LIFE IS SO ENDLESSLY DELICIOUS."
RUTH REICHL
A former business manager transformed into a wanderer who loves to share the Colombian Culture. I love cultural exchanges and to immerse myself in other places, and for this reason a few years ago I left my work an office and decided to dedicate myself to trips and travelers. Telling, writing and hearing stories fills my soul, and even better if accompanied by a cup of Colombian coffee! In some of my longer trips I've had the opportunity to work in restaurants and get to know a number of talented chefs, which opened the way for me to explore cuisines from other parts of the world. However, I am a fully convinced that the mix of flavors and textures in Latin America are incomparable! You have a friend waiting for you here in Colombia, and I look forward to showing you an amazing experience here in my country.

"YOU HAVE TO TASTE A CULTURE TO UNDERSTAND IT"
DEBORAH CATER
Growing up in a place full of delicious food, friendly people and lots of culture, the town of Envigado has made me who I am today. I love music, making friends, and above all else, food - especially homemade food! I grew up on simple food made by humble people, which can be better than the most sophisticated meal at the fanciest restaurant. I also spent time in Peru (one of the best experiences of my life!), and had the chance to explore a wide variety of new flavors and a different culture than what I knew. My time there was full of incredible ingredients and amazing memories, but it only really made me love the food I grew up with even more. I can't wait to show you my little town, and I really hope you fall in love with the local food, history and people as much as I have.

Paul Prudhomme
I am a social entrepreneur, passionate about traveling and photography. Since 2015, I have dedicated myself to visiting all the regions of Colombia, where I always like to see how nature and culture are the perfect mix in the most biodiverse country in the world. For me it is fascinating to learn and understand how the food is shared in different regions and the meaning of the table for the communities. Colombia is full of an undiscovered beauty.
