Randeen (Chef/Mate)
Randeen hails from the chilly prairies of Canada, where the winters were so cold they could freeze your breath. After one particularly frigid day, she had a lightbulb moment: "There must be somewhere warmer!" So, she packed up her life, left behind her corporate career, and moved to the sunny islands.
Throughout her career, Randeen has worn many hats, but the one she loves most now is a beach hat. With a background in corporate event planning and customer service, Randeen brings an exceptional attention to detail to everything she does—ensuring that every aspect of your vacation aboard Free Ingwe is perfectly tailored to your desires.
A self-proclaimed foodie at heart, Randeen’s love for food goes beyond just cooking—it's an all-encompassing passion. In her off-time, she’s always on the hunt for new culinary experiences. She loves recreating and adding fresh, new recipes to the menu, always keeping it exciting and full of flavor.
In the galley, Randeen specializes in Caribbean comfort food, expertly crafting dishes that showcase fresh, local ingredients. She’s also highly adept at adapting meals and menus to accommodate a variety of dietary preferences and restrictions, ensuring everyone aboard is satisfied.
When she’s not creating culinary magic in the galley, Randeen is your go-to cruise director and tour guide. She loves leading island hikes, uncovering the best beach bars, and guiding guests through some retail therapy adventures. Always eager to share the local flavor, both in food and experience, Randeen is dedicated to making your time aboard Free Ingwe unforgettable.
