About Us

Born in Aruba and shaped by travels across the United States and Dublin, Ireland, Nathaly de Mey’s life has always been about exploration—of places, cultures, and flavors. She returned to her island roots nine years ago to open Taste My Aruba, a restaurant that quickly earned international acclaim, including recognition from HBO, Forbes, and USA Today. But after years of running a world-class kitchen, Nathaly faced burnout. The pressures of the culinary world led her to seek balance, peace, and purpose beyond professional success. Stepping away from the kitchen, she embarked on a personal journey of self-discovery, realizing that true nourishment extends far beyond the plate—it involves deeply healing the mind, body, and soul. Her path soon led her back to the road, traveling extensively through Europe and its neighboring islands. Driven by a deep desire to connect with others, Nathaly found her own growth accelerated by listening to the stories of the people she met along the way.
