    About Gustavo De Obaldia

    Welcome to my world of culinary exploration and travel! I'm Gustavo, one half of the duo behind Nomads Picks, and perhaps you know me from Our Plant-Based World and Nómadas Gourmet. My journey into the realm of plant-based cooking and, now, global culinary discovery is not just a professional pursuit but a profoundly personal one. It's driven by a passion for wellness, sustainability, and the sheer joy of discovering new flavors, a passion that was ignited in my childhood kitchen and has since taken me to the far corners of the globe.

    Gustavo De Obaldia head shot.

    From a young age, I've been fascinated by the power of food, not just as sustenance but as a universal language that transcends borders and cultures. This fascination led me to pursue a Plant-Based Nutrition Certification, a journey that deepened my understanding of the profound impact of food choices on our health, the environment, and the well-being of all living creatures. But my education didn't stop there; every kitchen I've stepped into, every local market I've explored, and every street food vendor I've encountered has added to my understanding of the world's culinary diversity.

    As a fitness enthusiast, I've always been keen on how food fuels our bodies and spirits, especially when traveling. Trekking through remote trails, navigating the bustling streets of new cities, or finding tranquility on pristine beaches, I've learned that the right nourishment is key to fully experiencing these adventures. This belief is what drives me to seek out and share plant-based gems, no matter where in the world I find myself.

    At Nomads Picks, Joaquin and I embark on a quest to see the world and taste it, one plant-based dish at a time. Our travels are guided by a desire to uncover the essence of each place through its food, understanding that every meal has a story to tell about its people, traditions, and natural surroundings. Whether dining with locals, indulging in the simplicity of street food, or bringing back flavors to recreate and share with you, our adventures are a testament to the beauty of discovering the world through its diverse cuisines.

    Join me on this flavorful journey at Nomads Picks, where every destination is an opportunity to explore, learn, and inspire. Together, let's celebrate the diversity of the world's culinary landscapes, finding joy in discovering new tastes and the stories they tell. Welcome aboard this adventure of taste, culture, and connection.
