About Diego Y.
Diego Yamamoto is a destination specialist at Travelfab with a particular obsession for Latin American food scenes and cultural crossroads. Half-Japanese, half-Colombian, he grew up between London and Bogota and has been exploring the region professionally for five years.
Diego's writing focuses on what a destination actually feels like, the sounds, the food, the rhythm of daily life, rather than just listing sights. When he's not writing, he's probably in a market somewhere trying to explain to a vendor that he wants the spiciest version.
