FOOD BY HELEN K - TRAVELS
Hello, I’m Helen K — and if you love food, love to travel, and have been quietly dreaming of a trip that feels like it was made for you, this might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
For over 30 years I have worked in hospitality, running my catering business for more than 12 years. I’m also a passionate solo traveller — and a few years ago, stepping away from the familiar changed everything for me. I remembered parts of myself I’d forgotten.
That is what I want to share with you.
What Food By Helen K — Travels is
Small, intimate travel experiences for women who love food, travel, and the pleasure of doing both well. Not tours. Not retreats. A small group — never more than eight women — travelling together for around 12 days, with me there the entire time, planning, hosting, and cooking when the moment calls for it.
The first destination — Japan, 2027
November 2027. Tokyo, the Nakasendo trail, Nagano, Kanazawa, and Yamanaka Onsen — staying in traditional ryokans throughout. Michelin-starred lunches, kaiseki dinners, dawn fish markets, a cooking class, miso paste training, and a 24-hour offline reset in the mountains.
Who this is for:
Any woman over 40 who loves food and wants to travel beautifully. Whether you travel solo regularly, or are looking for the right company for a big trip; whether you have a packed life at home or simply haven’t found the time to plan something like this yourself — you are welcome here.
This is a considered, premium experience. It won’t be for everyone, and that’s completely fine. But if it sounds like it could be for you, I’d love to talk.
