Rhonda Macier Lathen

My first vacation to Europe was with a group of high school students as a chaperone. Immediately I was smitten with wanderlust and started researching, planning, and traveling regularly and to more exotic places each year. Couples, families, seniors, groups, and solo travelers have all enjoyed adventure with a side of fine dining through Culinary Latitudes research and planning. I work with a number of chefs, allowing them a chance to curate an experience for their following and grow closer to the people who support their hard work. 

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, playing piano and flute, my two doodles, and helping my community.  Hosting virtual vacations with the help of my travel vendors has been very popular. The culture, adventure, and tasty cuisine around the world is an interesting subject and everyone has a dream they want to come true.

We offer hosted trips where groups of 10-20 can join us on our next culinary adventure, or clients can create their own groups with our assistance. The advantage of working with us is that the perks almost seem endless. We have created a club membership called S.A.L.T. This stands for Sea and Land Tourism and as a member, you will have access to special promotions and various amenities. We feel very proud when our clients return from a trip and send us a nice note telling us how they enjoyed their vacation and will definitely work with Culinary Latitudes again in the future!There are a few famous chefs who have used our services and we are hoping to establish partnerships with more in the near future. 

PS – Our goal is to always allow the ‘pied piper’ of the chef groups to travel free of charge.

Travel tip:  Choose a river cruise, yacht sailing, or boutique ship ocean cruise to keep your stress level low.  You will keep all your belongings in one place and let the ship take you to the next location.  You'll see more this way and avoid wasting time packing and relocating. You can see just as much on land with a coast hugging ship or a river cruise ... guarantee!
