- A bit of a nomad, he's lived in seven different cities outside the United States over the last ten years, finally settling on the Atlantic coast in northern Spain.
- He's visited nineteen European nations and written dozens of food scene reviews, always searching for the next perfect falafel.
- In 2023-2024, he traveled throughout America to spend time with each of his small-town 18 Uncles; those adventures, conversations, and 'coming together in a divided America' will all be themes of his first book, entitled "18 Uncles."
Experience
Mitch has been passionate about writing and blogging since 2018, building three successful pages into multi-thousand-follower platforms. Drawing inspiration from Anthony Bourdain, his first focused on food, his second on travel, and the third chronicles his time in rural America with his 18 uncles and large extended family. Alongside his freelance writing pursuits, he has also gained valuable experience teaching ESL throughout Spain and in Prague, combining his love for language and cultural exchange.
Education
He got a BBA in international business, was the only business major in the Advanced Creative Writing class, and studied abroad twice, one semester in Barcelona and another in San Jose, Costa Rica.
