Hi there, my name is Roya — that means dream in Farsi.
I am a creator, marketer, adventurer, dreamer, curator of experiences, and plant-based lover of food on the search for the tastiest plant-based restaurants in the world.
My husband and I bought a home with several acres in San Diego as it is our mission to live a less processed, wellness focused lifestyle.
I look forward to sharing everything we are learning throughout this journey.
