Meet Nina Klatten – The Heart Behind Nina Dishes
Some people find their passion early in life. Nina Klatten wasn’t one of them.
Growing up, Nina never saw herself as a chef, food blogger, or travel enthusiast. In fact, she spent most of her early career in finance, crunching numbers instead of crushing spices. But everything changed after a life-altering backpacking trip to Southeast Asia.
What was supposed to be a short vacation turned into a one-year journey across continents, from the bustling food stalls of Bangkok to the remote villages of Peru. With every meal, every shared table, and every local market she explored, she found herself falling in love with food as a form of storytelling.
She came back home with more than just memories—she returned with a mission: to share the flavors, stories, and travel experiences that shaped her.
That’s how Nina Dishes was born.
Meet Mia – The Unexpected Foodie & Adventure Seeker
If Nina is the heart of this website, Mia is the wild spirit that makes it even more fun.
Mia wasn’t always a food and travel enthusiast. In fact, she used to be a strictly “chicken nuggets and fries” kind of person—the kind who would rather book a five-star hotel than explore the streets of a foreign city. But a chance encounter changed everything.
While working a corporate job, Mia met Nina at an airport lounge (of all places). What started as casual small talk over coffee led to a deep discussion about breaking out of routines and chasing adventure. Intrigued, Mia impulsively joined Nina on a weekend food tour in Mexico City.
One street taco, one plate of mole, and a mezcal tasting later—she was hooked.
Now, Mia is the go-to travel guru of Nina Dishes, helping readers find hidden gems, avoid tourist traps, and embrace the thrill of the unknown. Whether it’s navigating the spice markets of Marrakech or discovering the best hole-in-the-wall ramen in Tokyo, Mia is always on the hunt for the next great find.
