About TerraPath Global Journeys

I’m Kecia, founder of TerraPath Global Journeys and a registered dietitian for more than two decades. I still work with patients part-time, which keeps me grounded in the everyday challenges people face when trying to eat well. Whether it's limited access to fresh foods, a lack of cooking skills, or simply not knowing where to begin, I've seen how disconnected we've become from the food we eat. I believe food should be approachable, enjoyable, and something that brings people together.

I’ve always believed the world is the best classroom. I learn best by experiencing things firsthand, asking questions, tasting something new, and learning from the people who know a place best. I’m especially drawn to slow, immersive adventures that bring us into local farms, bustling markets, and family kitchens.

My background in nutrition has shaped the way I see the world. Food connects us not only to people and culture, but also to the land, water, and traditions that sustain communities. Through TerraPath, I hope to share travel experiences that celebrate those connections.

But the trips I plan are as varied as the people taking them. From Catholic pilgrimages and family celebrations to luxury cruises, graduation trips, and culinary adventures, I enjoy helping people plan travel around what matters to them. I enjoy working with travel partners who share my appreciation for authentic experiences and meaningful connections with local communities.

I’m also developing educational travel experiences for fellow dietitians, bringing together my professional background and my belief in learning through travel.

Outside of work, you’ll find me volunteering, practicing yoga, hiking, or spending time with my family and our three dogs. I also keep a small flock of backyard chickens and love cooking with them (the eggs, not the chickens!).

What’s Behind the Name?

TerraPath Global Journeys was born from a simple belief: travel should connect us more deeply to the world and the people who call it home.

Terra means earth, reflecting my appreciation for the natural world and the communities it sustains. Path represents the journeys we take - not just the places we visit, but the experiences, connections, and discoveries we make along the way.

Together, they reflect what I hope every TerraPath journey offers: a meaningful connection to people, place, and purpose.
