An avid traveler who has been to more than twenty countries, she loves to experience the diversity of the world through something that unites us all: food! When she's not exploring, Jekka works in sales for technology start-ups and her own consulting agency for fitness and wellness brands. She divides her time between San Francisco, California, and Kauai, Hawai'i.view less
