Over 20 trips with the chefs from RingSide, Urdaneta, Ataula, Flying Fish and Proud Mary to Spain, Portugal, Australia and even the Snake River for incredible rafting adventures. (In addition to this trip this year, Chris is offering a bespoke Portugal trip with the Beard nominated chef from Portland’s 82 Acres, Will Preisch, in the Fall, if that’s of interest!) We will be guided by a leading Portuguese food journalist and her renowned chef husband!

Back to Africa:

Lynne and Chris have teamed up to make this African adventure during the migration this July a little more food-oriented than the usual safari adventure. And if you compare the costs of this vs those offered by other travel companies, this is an excellent value!

There’s a lot to know, and if you are interested, you can find this trip and the Portugal trip at portlandfoodadventures.com.

We would love to set up coffee or a zoom call if you’re interested. So far, we have some great people on this trip and we do our best to find excellent guests and your new friends to enjoy an extended adventure with!

And if you can’t go, or this isn’t of interest, you may know someone who would enjoy such a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Let us know and if they go, we will donate $100 for each booking to Animal Haven By the Sea Rescue in your name.
