Ever wonder how to create deeper connections through travel — and how food can be the key? 

In this special solo episode, I’m kicking off a three-part series where I share my personal story, travel philosophy, and the principles that help me discover the world in a more meaningful way.

I’ll take you behind the scenes of my own culinary adventures, from childhood memories of fragrant curried peas made by my Bibi to spontaneous moments of connection that shaped my life in Portugal back in 1998.

You'll also hear about my diverse upbringing — with Pakistani and New Zealand roots — and how growing up around a global kitchen table inspired the creation of In My Kitchen.

In this episode, I share:
 🌎 How I use food as a vehicle for connection when traveling
 🇵🇹 Stories from my unexpected and life-changing adventure in Portugal
 ✨ The beauty of discovery when things don’t go as planned

This episode is for anyone craving more meaning in their travels and looking to connect with people and cultures in authentic ways — with a plate of something delicious in between.
