Kreskin Jermiah Torres, known as "The Rideshare Foodie,"

is an author, cultural explorer, and research consultant from Baltimore, Maryland.

​

For nearly a decade, he has traveled across all 50 U.S. states, driving more than 400,000 miles in search of the people, traditions, foods, and experiences that shape American communities.

​

Through firsthand travel, observation, and conversation, Kreskin researches culture and communities to better understand what makes places unique. His work focuses on regional identity, local traditions, community engagement, food culture, and the stories that connect people to place.

Driving for rideshare platforms throughout his travels, he transformed everyday conversations into opportunities for cultural exchange. Passengers became guides, introducing him to local businesses, neighborhood institutions, community traditions, and experiences often overlooked by visitors.

Today, Kreskin helps individuals, organizations, businesses, and communities better understand places through cultural research, community discovery, stakeholder engagement, storytelling, and firsthand observation.

​

His work has been featured in The Baltimore Sun, Business Insider, Yahoo, and national television appearances including Fox & Friends.

His mission is simple: to help people better understand the communities, cultures, and experiences that make places unique.
