Culinary Adventures Part 2: Paula's Method of Travel and Connection

Listen to this episode above, via the link below, or on your favourite listening platform.

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

In this special solo episode, I’m continuing 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.

This week, I’m diving into the power of micro-moments — those small, spontaneous connections that can transform a trip — and how they’ve shaped both my personal adventures and the foundation of In My Kitchen.

From a terrifying scuba dive in the Azores to an unexpected four-day friendship that followed, I’m sharing the real, unfiltered moments that taught me to let go of expectations and let connection lead the way.

In this episode, I share:
🌍 Why micro-connections are essential for our well-being — backed by science
🇵🇹 A wild story from the Azores that changed how I travel
✨ The 3 trip-planning principles I swear by

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt the magic of an unexpected hello or shared a meal with a stranger-turned-friend. If you’re looking to bring more meaning, connection, and deliciousness into your travels — this one’s for you.
