The backpack of mine always stood for comfort. That bag and many such have been with me on many a journey. From visiting unique places and meeting exciting people and it has many stories to share.</p><p>The excitement that one has when one is travelling to the moments sitting by a pond or field when am in the jungle. To sitting in a bus contemplating life’s ironies has made me search for myself, in ways I cannot imagine.</p><p>&nbsp;This podcast is all about the celebration of life. It’s not just about food, but our journeys around food. I realised earlier on that following one’s intuition pays off for the best. Chasing a dream of food media and wildlife photography changed my life and those around me for the better as we each were driven to chase a more enriching life.</p><p>I’m your host Chef Michael Swamy, &nbsp;author - free spirit and wanderer.</p><p>This podcast will explore the different ways we can tap into a world of mindfulness. A place where dedication and perfection are paramount. Meeting people who are giving to the world through their work. </p><p>The backpack chef was a journey of slowing down, learning to savour all that was around and leading a life of mindfulness. Being there for friends and people and learning to care.</p><p>Join me on this journey as I have conversations with inspiring people who follow their hearts and minds in different ways, and as I share my own personal stories as well. Its leading to a life of Mindful living and you can follow me on my website www.cottagechefculinaire.com and on social @themichaelswamy.</p>","author_name":"Michael Swamy"}
