I sometimes think to myself, “What are you doing?  Will anyone really read your blog and try your recipes?  You aren’t a professional, you’re not a chef, you’ve got no experience in travel writing and reviews….”

No!  But I do have life experience.  Experience in living, learning, exploring and most of all sharing.  And that is why I started this blog just over a year ago.  My life’s ambition has been to share my stories, share my recipes and share my travels with anyone out there who may be interested.

And as much as I would love to do this and get paid for it, well it isn’t about the money really, although it would be nice and it may eventually happen.  It’s about me doing what I love to do and I love nothing better than to cook, travel, try, learn, experience and share.  And so in my second year of blogging I intend to share more with you.  I hope you don’t mind!

Also, while I am writing this blog I am also working on a cookbook come memoir of my life and the food I have loved, shared and learned about over the years.  To me travel and food go hand in hand.  If the world didn’t have people moving or traveling from one state to another, one country to another we may never have become so multicultural.  Our love of food and culture has led many of us to get out there and even if we have no desire to actually travel to another country we can still experience a little bit of a countries culture through its food.  What could be better than that?

So I hope you stay with me as my journey continues.  I am having fun and learning more each day.  Thank you all for your support over the past year.  I am back and into it, so strap yourself in and come along for the ride!  This is my life’s journey and even I don’t know where it will take me.  That to me is what makes life so exciting.
