Riley Peterson

Riley pivoted to a culinary apprenticeship at 45 after a successful but unfulfilling career in corporate finance, pursuing a lifelong passion for food and culture. His transition coincided with his partner's job relocation to Cardiff, where they've embraced expatriate life while raising their two teenagers. Riley's unique perspective as a mid-life career changer combined with his financial expertise has shaped his approach to luxury travel—seeking experiences that offer depth, craftsmanship and cultural significance rather than superficial opulence.
