The Road to Michelin Stars: Stories Behind Every Plate (ft. Dominique Crenn)

What if the destination isn't a singular place, but a collection of moments along the way? For three-Michelin-star chef Dominique Crenn, every stop on her geographical journey has become an ingredient in the recipe for her life, from the farms of Brittany, France, to her longtime home of San Francisco, California.  From uncovering unexpected ancestral roots through DNA testing to discovering creative freedom in California's kitchens, Dominique shares how every chapter of her life eventually found its way onto the plate at Atelier Crenn. Drawing on their longtime friendship and offering up plenty of recommendations for San Francisco travelers along the way, Daniel and Dominique explore migration, vulnerability, love, and the belief that our most authentic work doesn't come from following someone else's recipe... It comes from embracing our own story. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Baja California: Your Slow Travel Reset (ft. Naomi Grevemberg)

For Naomi Grevemberg, what began as a one-year adventure eventually led her to Baja California, where a caravan of van lifers, endless desert coastlines, and a slower way of living challenged everything she originally thought she wanted. From spearfishing and cooking Trinidadian curry on the beach, to swimming alongside whale sharks and building community with locals, Naomi shares the moments from this grounding getaway that transformed her relationship with time, belonging, and home itself. As she reflects on campfires, mouthwatering meals, and signs from the sea, Naomi reveals how Baja California helped her reconnect with nature, embrace the rhythms of slow travel, and discover that the most meaningful journeys aren't always about where we're going, but how deeply we're willing to arrive.

What happens when a birthday cruise unexpectedly reconnects you to parts of yourself you didn’t realize you’d been missing? In this episode, treasure shopper Maya Valentino tells us all about her first cruise aboard Virgin Voyages, a trip which offered her a surprising return to creativity, stillness, and reconnection with her mom.  Maya dives into Virgin Voyage’s immersive entertainment, unforgettable cuisine, and iconic onboard experiences, while she and Daniel explore how this experience created a much-needed tempo shift in her life, one that made way for self-reflection, connection, and inspiration.  Along the way: interactive performances at sea, late-night desserts, hilarious moments on the beach, and quiet conversations in a hammock by the sea… all gentle reminders that while we can plan our itinerary, we can’t always predict the ways travel will unlock the parts of ourselves we’ve kept hidden away.

Tanzania: On Safari (ft. Jared Sternberg)

In our first official SAFARI episode, what begins as a search for “the Big Five” gives way to a profound shift in perspective. Eco-tour organizer Jared Sternberg reflects on his first scouting trip to Tanzania, the transformative power of safari, and the unexpected lessons that emerge when we let go of our control and judgment during travel.  From witnessing his first hunt in the Serengeti to sharing time with Maasai communities protecting vital wildlife corridors, Jared and Daniel explore how safari strips away distraction and reconnects us to something primal; where long conversations in safari vehicles, shared meals in the bush, and encounters with Maasai communities become just as meaningful as the wildlife itself.

Morocco: Souks, Hammams, and a Journey Beyond Fear (ft. Preethi Chandrasekhar)

We all carry stories about who we think we are. And for some of us, those stories can limit who we’re allowed to become.  Preethi Chandrasekhar set out to challenge those limits when she led a group of women on a journey through Morocco. With a do-it-all itinerary designed not just to explore the destination, she encouraged the group to step beyond their routines into an adventure that requires vulnerability, courage, and connection. From navigating the sensory rush of the markets, to shedding insecurities in a traditional hammam, to rising above fear on a hot air balloon ride (and more), Preethi shares the moments that pushed both her and these women beyond the beliefs they’d long held about themselves, to discover the person they’ve been all along.    Follow Preethi on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/eagertravele/?hl=en] and TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@eagertravele] @eagertravele And on her website at https://theeagertraveler.com/preethi/ [https://theeagertraveler.com/preethi/] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
