Nayna Katigbak

Writer

A freelance writer and cook, Nayna contributes to different food and travel publications. When she’s not writing about the Toyota FJ Cruiser in a test drive to Zambales for this issue, she writes stories on the oyster business, artisanal salts of the Philippines, and everything about food. While she’s worn many hats over the years, writing and cooking are the ones she loves the most. “These allow me to pay attention to things I find interesting in the most enjoyable way possible.”
