About Me

 Ahoy!

World wide travel has provided me with first hand knowledge of some of the most incredible destinations and their little known gems that you must try!

While sailing the beautiful turquoise Caribbean, cool drink in hand, I helped catch our fish of the day on an 8 person catamaran. It was prepared fresh as a tuna sashimi appetizer. These bi-annual sailing trips started my adventure.  Little did I know where it would lead me. 

After a long day of meandering the cobble-stone streets in hidden Italian towns I'd stumble into a new cafe' filled with locals smiling and sharing stories. The freshness of the seafood and pasta dish passed down for generations are not to be missed.

Ah, but it was a cool creamy Limoncello on the mountainous Isle of Capri that caused me to want to permanently be on vacation. There is nothing quite like being immersed in the culture, sightseeing, and learning about favorite spices from the local chefs firsthand. From tequila tasting in Mexico, meeting local fishermen in New Zealand, sailing the warm waters of the Caribbean, devouring the freshest seafood in Santorini, and learning to cook in Thailand, to wherever our future culinary adventures take us... won't you join us on our next great feast?

These are just a few of the many memories I've made over the years. Merging my passions for travel and cooking, I created Culinary Latitudes Travel while working at a CPA firm during my short stay in south Florida. An agency focused on crafting explorations for the enthusiastic traveler and the "foodies" at heart.

My "white glove service" allows you to take a break from hours of travel research. I guarantee my value and rates on trips to all seven continents of the planet!  Our group trips are where you'll find some of the best opportunities to save money.  

Outside of work, and besides traveling, I enjoy music, hiking, and trying new dishes. I raised two beautiful children in Louisville, Colorado where fresh air and beautiful mountains offer amazing scenery and opportunities to hike with our doodles. My husband and I have a blended family with 6 adult children and 7 grandchildren.  

I'd enjoy making your travel dream come true.  Please reach out to [email protected] or call 303-919-8727.  

Travel with taste,

Rhonda

Outstanding!! As first time "cruisers" and to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, Rhonda took all the anxiety out of our trip plans. She worked with us step by step by providing options, suggestions, and pricing . She even followed up after booking the trip with promo savings available to us.

Client Testimonials

Greek Isles and More!
The astonishing achievements of an ancient civilization take center stage. Shopping, beaches, food and wine, and much more complete the experience. The unrivalled Acropolis of Athens and the whitewashed charm of the Greek Isles may bring you to Greece. The local olive oil, ouzo, music, dance and outdoor adventure will bring you back. We enjoyed Santorini pre-cruise, and then headed to Athens, Crete and Corfu before heading to Montenegro and Croatia. We went to a beautiful evening concert on a small island off of Dubrovnik and this was included with the cost of our trip! Finally Venice was a great place to stay for an extra 2 nights. We experience the history, culture, and cuisine first hand and even hopped on a gondola for a romantic ride through the canals. We highly recommend using Rhonda Macier Lathen with Culinary Latitudes for your next experience to Greece and Europe. She took care of all the details and we felt relaxed and prepared for our adventure abroad.
