Hi there! I’m Uchenna Charles Aguoru, a passionate traveler, storyteller, and food enthusiast on a journey to uncover the rich histories and indigenous flavors of cities around the world. My travel Journey began when I left the streets of Lagos Nigeria to the Streets of Hyattsville Maryland USA over 28 years ago. Since then, its been a fun journey so far.
For me, travel isn’t just about checking destinations off a list—it’s about immersing myself in the soul of a place. Every city has a story to tell, and what better way to experience it than through its food and history? From the centuries-old spice markets of Istanbul to the hidden trattorias of Rome, I dive deep into the past and present of every destination, exploring how history has shaped its culture and cuisine.
I am endlessly fascinated by the layers of history that make each city unique. Walking through ancient streets, visiting historic landmarks, and learning about the people who shaped these places allows me to connect with the past in a meaningful way. My passion is to bring these stories to life, revealing the intricate ties between historical events and the foods that have stood the test of time.
My travel adventures are not about shopping; I prefer to invest in experiences rather than material things. In fact, the most expensive items I purchase are souvenirs that I keep as mementos of my journeys. My home is full of them, each carrying a story and a memory from the places I’ve explored.
Through my blog, I bring you along for the ride, sharing tales of ancient civilizations, local traditions, and of course, mouthwatering dishes that define each culture. Whether it’s tracing the origins of a beloved dish, uncovering hidden culinary gems, or sharing authentic recipes, I hope to inspire your own adventures—both on the road and in the kitchen.
Join me as I eat, explore, and uncover the flavors of history, one city at a time!
