About the Foodiepackers
We started foodiepackers to share our love for travel and food. When we are traveling, the
most we enjoy is to go out and discover the different cuisines of the world, new ingredients,
and new ways of seeing food. For us, a plate of food is the map of the place we are in.
Through its ingredients, it reveals the geography and the climate. But above all, it tells us
the story of the people who created the dish and who cook it. Our love for food is actually
what brought us together in the first place. We met when we were both traveling through Luang
Prabang in Laos at a little street food stall that sold fried vegetables.

From all the places he has been to, he loved Mexican, Vietnamese, Shandong, and Malaysian food the most. He has lived in Berlin, Montpellier, Ulaanbaatar, Niamey, and Islamabad.
