In this episode of Roam + Golightly: A Podcast For Creative Adventurers, I have the absolute joy to chat with Aida Mollenkamp, the food expert and creator of Salt & Wind... who has literally the coolest job in the world. Aida travels around the world in search of delicious foods, so she understands the ins and outs of how to find the best of the best of what's around, no matter where you are. Together we talk about her tricks to "travel in good taste," her winding career path and enjoying "panda time."
