Johanna Fabian
I enjoy slow travel, ideally being in one country for a month where I can really get to know the local people, their way of life and of course their food! I am Peruvian-American and have traveled through many of the beautiful countries LATAM has to offer.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in all things South America! You can count on me to recommend the best cafés and restaurants in town specially in Lima, the gastronomical capital of Latin America. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"Back in 2011 I joined a study abroad culinary program in Peru. Here, my curiosity began to burst. Not only did I want to travel everywhere In Peru but I wanted to learn about different cultures and different food and techniques the world has to offer. Now no matter where I travel, making a stop at a local market is at the top of my list! "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"In 2012 I went to Iquitos with a couple of German friends, we camped out in an indigenous community in the middle of the Amazon, it was not at all glamorous, but one of the most memorable trips. I got to learn so much about how the community lived, their culture, their food, and their reality. It was both eye-opening and life-changing. "
