Yuka
Local Travel Guru
Yuka is the girl who has a hard time being asked, “where are you from?”. She’s moved houses more than 20 times and lived in 7 countries… maybe that’s why? But her strong point is adapting to new environments and cultures so she’ll be sharing lots of tips on how to make an easy transition to travelling and embracing new cultures. She also enjoys experimenting in the kitchen and creating all things vegan and vegetarian!
Gopal
Cooking Guru
Affectionately called “Gopi”, he is the owner of a heart of gold. Although born and brought up in Argentina, his love for exploring and adventuring never sees an end. His artistic eyes and enthusiasm is addictive and the food he serves at his vegetarian restaurant is mind-blowing. Of course, he’ll be sharing tips on how to stay healthy without neglecting our tastebuds.
