Who we are at Journey Gourmet

I'm Àlex Rodríguez, co-creator of journeygourmets.com, a space born from my passion for traveling, exploring, and immersing myself in the vastness of cultures, flavors, and activities that the world has to offer. From a young age, I always felt an unstoppable urge to discover new horizons.

But beyond just traveling, I always sought to combine these explorations with my love for outdoor activities, especially fishing.

Fishing, for me, is more than a hobby; it's a way to connect with nature, to understand and respect the delicate balance of our ecosystems. Although I enjoy all its modalities, I have a particular inclination for kayak fishing. This practice has allowed me to access unexplored places, where silence is only broken by the gentle stroke of the paddle in the water and the occasional leap of a fish.

Fishing has taken me to venture into waters from different parts of the world, each with its own set of challenges and rewards.

Hello, I'm Daniel Benito Camelas, co-creator of journeygourmets.com, a space where travel narratives, culinary exploration, and a passion for photography converge. From a young age, I discovered that photography was not only my passion but also my way of seeing the world, of capturing those fleeting moments that most of the time only live in our memories.

My interest in photography started as a hobby but quickly turned into a vocation.

Through my lens, I've had the fortune of documenting incredible landscapes, unique cultural expressions, and, of course, the essence of gastronomy in every place I visit.

Photography has allowed me not only to preserve moments but also to tell stories, convey emotions, and share the beauty of the world around us.

I'm Sophie Turner, a freelance travel writer and photographer who has visited over 60 countries. I specialise in rural tourism and destinations that haven't yet made it onto the mainstream travel radar — places where authenticity hasn't been replaced by mass tourism.

At JourneyGourmets I cover the lesser-known corners of the world. My philosophy is simple: travel slowly, listen to locals, and eat where the neighbours eat.

Certified tour guide and travel blogger with over twelve years exploring archaeological sites, UNESCO World Heritage cities and museums across four continents. History is the key to understanding what makes each destination unique.

At JourneyGourmets I specialise in cultural and historical heritage. Every article I write tries to answer one question: what makes this place truly special?

Chef by training and gastronomic traveller by vocation. I travel the world with one clear goal: to understand the culture of each place through its food. Local markets and grandmother's recipes are my travel guide.

At JourneyGourmets I focus on local gastronomy: what to eat, where to eat it and why that dish exists in that specific place and nowhere else in the world.

Architect and urban researcher based in Barcelona. My background in architecture and urbanism shapes how I look at every destination: not just what to see, but why cities look and feel the way they do.

My articles combine analytical rigour with accessible prose. The best architecture is the kind that stops you dead in your tracks in the middle of the street — no explanation needed.

Travel writer and seasoned explorer who has visited over 60 countries. I'm passionate about rural tourism and destinations that haven't yet appeared in the big travel guides — places where authenticity hasn't been replaced by mass tourism.

At JourneyGourmets I cover the most remote destinations, from lost villages in the Balkans to unknown corners of Southeast Asia. Travel slowly, listen to the locals, eat where the neighbours eat.
