Sofia Martinez

I've spent the last eight years traveling the world with nothing but a backpack, a camera, and an insatiable curiosity for how people live. My journey started in the medinas of Morocco, where I got hopelessly lost and found my calling—telling stories of the places that don't make it into guidebooks.

For me, travel isn't about ticking boxes or collecting passport stamps. It's about sitting in a stranger's kitchen learning their grandmother's recipe, getting invited to a wedding in a village you can't pronounce, finding that tiny cafe where locals have their morning coffee. These moments of genuine connection are what I live for, and what I try to capture in every story I write.

When I'm not on the road, you'll find me in Barcelona testing new recipes or planning my next adventure. I'm currently working on a book about the food cultures of North Africa.
