Mar

My name is Mar (María del Mar) I was born in the amazing city of Cartagena, in Colombia, even though I only lived there my first year I´ve come back any chance I have cause it is one of the most beautiful cities I`ve been; in 2001 my parents decided to move to Ecuador, so I've been living in Quito for the past 19 years.

I am a passionate traveler, and although I did not travel as much as I wanted, any time I have the chance I jump in and go where my heart takes me...

My granddad is from Argentina, my grandmom form Bogota, Architect and artist, both of theme loves to travel, they are funny and intellectual people who love art, cities, food, and wine, so there is where I got my passion for traveling; my mom and dad also loves to travel but in a very different way, they love the jungle, working with communities of indigenous and peasants, so I know that my risky side comes from them.

I've had the amazing opportunity to been in some countries, Colombia Ecuador, Costa Rica, Argentina, Uruguay, Spain, Holland, and Germany.

Apart from travel itself, I love Art and Gastronomy and those are two things that I do for a living and for pleasure... I am an artist and designers, and on my Instagram page, marellanorudd I've some of my art there, I also love writing about food, for my BA final work I wrote a book to understand the miscegenation and cultural hybridization through the gastronomy of a place; I have a blog now tfpbylamar.com that's going to close soon cause I'm working on something new, in IG you can also find my food page as tfpbylamar, so I invite you to see and share my food travels with me!

At this moment I am in Spain, and will be here for 4 more weeks!
