Who we are

My biggest fear in life? Coming home from a vacation and hearing someone ask, “Did you try [insert amazing local dish]?” and having to admit I missed out! That’s the kind of regret I want to help you avoid.

Hi there! I’m Amali, an LA-based foodie, certified travel agent, and lifelong traveler passionate about creating unforgettable culinary journeys.

For over a decade, I’ve run Only Big Bites, a food blog dedicated to discovering the best bites around the world. With 5 years of experience in the food tech industry, I’ve gained insider knowledge of the restaurant world and a deep appreciation for how food connects us to culture. In 2024 alone, I took 50 flights to 18 cities, immersing myself in local flavors and experiences to inspire the trips I plan for my clients.

At Only Big Bites , I specialize in curating food-focused vacations tailored to your taste buds. Whether it’s savoring street food in Bangkok, dining at Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris, or learning to make pasta in Tuscany, I’ll craft an itinerary that’s as delicious as it is memorable.

Planning the perfect trip can be overwhelming—that’s where I come in. I’ll take care of every detail, so you can focus on enjoying every bite and every moment of your adventure.

Let’s create your next great escape, one delicious destination at a time!
