Get ready to have your wanderlust ignited and to feel your stomach growl. Today's leading lady is Peggy Markel, director of Peggy Markel's Culinary Adventures, a company that designs and directs culinary tours in the Mediterranean and North Africa.
From Elban fishing villages and Moroccan markets to the homes of Tuscan artisans and chefs, Peggy has spent more than 20 years exploring culture and cuisine. During her own early journeys, she looked for culinary and cultural programs that would connect her with local artisans and food traditions. When she didn't find any, she saw the opportunity to create and lead her own.
Now, Peggy aims to give people a meaningful travel experience by immersing them in a foreign culture through food, food artisans, hands-on cooking and traveling. The bonus: Her daily work usually means immersing herself in the same. Just read her example of a "typical day" and see if it doesn't make you want to book a flight.
