About Us

Welcome to Mangoes and Palm Trees, a travel food blog where adventure meets culinary delight! We’re the Mayerhoffer family—Oliver, Natalia, and Victor—a trio united by our passion for exploring the world and its flavors. From our cozy kitchen to distant shores, we’re here to share stories, recipes, and experiences that inspire you to embark on your own journey of taste and discovery.

At its heart, our travel food blog is about connection—connecting cultures through food, connecting memories through meals, and connecting you to the joy of exploration. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or a home cook craving global inspiration, we’ve got something special for you.

Our Story

Our adventure as a travel food blog began with a simple idea: food is a universal language. It started years ago when we stumbled upon a tiny market stall in Thailand, tasting a mango dessert that sparked our curiosity. That moment ignited a mission—to seek out the world’s flavors, from the spice-laden streets of Morocco to the rustic kitchens of Tuscany.

We’re not just recipe collectors; we’re storytellers. Each dish we share—like a fragrant curry or a hearty stew—carries a tale of its origins, the people who made it, and the places we’ve explored. Our travels have taken us to over 30 countries, where we’ve learned that food transcends borders, weaving a tapestry of culture and history.

Back home, we bring these discoveries to life, testing and tweaking recipes to make them accessible yet authentic. It’s a labor of love, driven by our belief that every bite can transport you somewhere new.

Why We Do This

Food is more than fuel—it’s a bridge to memories, a spark for connection, and a celebration of life. Growing up, our family dinners were a mix of laughter and flavors, from Natalia’s Polish heritage to Oliver’s knack for bold spices. That joy drives our travel food blog.

We’ve seen food unite strangers at a Moroccan tagine feast and preserve traditions in a Sicilian nonna’s kitchen. Our mission is to inspire you to create those moments—whether cooking a new dish or sharing a meal with loved ones. It’s about building a community that cherishes discovery and diversity, one recipe at a time.
