Episode 18: Hans Peter Meyer

Hans Peter Meyer is a writer, photographer, social media artist and coach. He has become well known in the Comox Valley and beyond for writing about food and events happening on Vancouver Island. We brought Hans in for a discussion on Flavour- The North Island Gourmet Picnic, which Hans was social media sponsor.  A segment on using social media to promote food tourism in the area during our visit was quite informative for the hosts.
