Portrait

My parents took me overseas for the first time to China. What a start on a life of travel! On my first date with my current boyfriend he listed all the countries he has lived and traveled in and I was hooked. Since then I have lived abroad once in college and am heading out again this year. My coinciding passion with travel is food. I love to eat it, cook it, learn about it, and share it. There is no better place to learn about yourself, the world, & your home than to travel.
