Hi, there! Iā€™m Alexii!

As both a former and current backpacker, I'm always looking for ways to incorporate my intersection of interests as not only a foodie, but a current high school history teacher. I relish in exploring the history and culture of a new place through the lens of food and wine. My motto is to know a place not only by the sights, but by its taste. Whether I've been to Buenos Aires or Cape Town, a hostel or Airbnb, I have created numerous itineraries and opportunities to learn about a culture and community through its food and customs.

Discovering hidden gems and local favorites

My extensive traveling started at nineteen years old, and since then I have collected a recipe from every one of the fifty-six countries I have been to so far. Often, even during a cooking class.

I am best at finding local gems and local people to connect you with and can cater any location to any budget.

I am known for making the most of an extended layover. For example what to do in 36 hours in Beijing

*If interested in multiple locations and itineraries, I am willing to provide full itineraries for ALL options for a small fee prior to making a booking.

In-depth knowledge of Greece, United Kingdom, NYC, Italy + Budget travel, solo travel, food & wine
