Doreen Alicia Gamboa

I am a Department of Tourism accredited tour guide for Region VI in the Philippines. My main focus though is Negros Occidental. I enjoy showing guests my hometown which is rich in Philippine history including my 85 year old home which my grandparents built. In addition to that, another theme close to my heart is culinary heritage, art and culture. As a Slow Food advocate (it is an international movement that believes in good, clean and fair food for all), I arrange tours to local farmers that plant naturally farmed ingredients like coffee and cacao for guests to experience our culinary heritage. I also arrange cooking lessons for those interested in it. I believe that custom made tours are more memorable than doing a standard tour, thus, I usually discuss with the client their interests before I make a special tour for them.
