For me, traveling is a way to really explore and experience the culture, lifestyle, and food. I wasn’t always an adventurous type growing up. I really didn’t like much change in my routine, but I found myself in my 20s heading to Northern California to begin an adventure in travel nursing. This was a journey I was a little nervous about, but excited to experience!
Through my travels from the west to the east coast, I found food as a source of comfort and discovery. When I wasn't working a shift in the hospital, I was in the kitchen testing recipes and getting a lot of inspiration from watching Food Network. Also, I got to expand my culinary palate tasting different ethnic cuisines that I never experienced as a child.
This interest and love of cooking led me to eventually going to culinary school. I'm excited to share my culinary travels with you and create some dishes through the food memories I experienced along my journeys.
