Juan Andres is Colombian-Canadian and lived in Ontario, Canada for 10 years before coming home to Colombia. He has cooked since he was a teenager and loves to spend time in the kitchen. He decided to settle in Bogota because he loves the weather, the friendly people, and the artistic culture that permeates the city. Juan Andres and his wife Valentina live in a family-oriented, quiet neighborhood near Portal de la 80. This is a wonderful chance to explore a neighborhood in Bogota you might otherwise miss during your visit to the city. Join Juan Andres and Valentina for a market tour of the public market in Quirigua followed by a cooking lesson and three-course meal in their comfortable and warm flat. Juan Andres and Valentina are talented home cooks who are excited to teach travelers how to cook some of the best Colombian home-style dishes during a cooking lesson in their small kitchen. They are particularly interested in updating traditional dishes to be healthier. They will teach you to prepare typical dishes like ajiaco santafereño (chicken and potato soup), bandeja paisa (the national dish of Colombia), and drinks such as canelazo (a hot Colombian drink made with raw sugar, aguardiente, fruits and species), carajillo (wine with aguardiente), or Colombian cocktails. To end the meal they might serve a traditional lulo dessert and guanabana (soursop) juice.

In 1985, my aspiration had been fulfilled, I initiated my career in the travel industry as a leisure agent for a local travel agency. Subsequently, I transitioned to America West Airlines, holding the position of a customer service representative, and eventually ascended to become one of American Airlines' International Pursers. During my tenure as an in-flight Purser, I had the privilege of exploring captivating destinations across the globe. Each journey allowed me to deeply engage with the distinct cultures, customs, and traditional cuisine of the diverse countries I visited. I have had the pleasure of embarking on wilderness-filled safaris, savoring exquisite wine with the locals in quaint European villages, trekking through the rice fields of Asia, and marveling at the pristine azure waters of the Mediterranean and Caribbean.
With utmost dedication, I endeavor to provide tailored expertise and knowledge to travelers in devising unparalleled vacations. A primary objective of mine is to create an indelible travel experience exclusively for YOU. Allow me the honor of introducing you to tremendous opportunities which wholeheartedly embrace the culture, customs, and native cuisine of the diverse countries you choose to explore.
