WHO WE ARE

My name is Gabriel and I am a native Californian that spent the majority of my life as a restaurant Chef and avid outdoor sports enthusiast.

My partner in Chef Travel Guide and life is Kristel. She moved to California from her home in the Philippines to pursue her career as a chef, and ended up falling in love with the state and its endless opportunities for exploration.

A THIRST FOR ADVENTURE

Together, we found out that we wanted nothing more than to escape the kitchen and explore everything California had to offer.

This included everything from hiking remote trails in the Marin Headlands to tasting the best craft breweries in Lake Tahoe.

The fun never stopped as there is so much to do in California from its stunning National Parks like Yosemite to its world-class cities like San Francisco.

Now, we want to share this passion and wealth of knowledge about California so that you can experience the best the Golden State offers.
