My Story

Hi, I'm Haley. Welcome to my blog dedicated to all foodies and friends bitten by the travel bug. 

My passion for food began in my early childhood. I won't lie, I was a picky eater, but not in the typical way you might assume. I was the weird kid at the birthday party that had her own thermus of teriyaki skirt steak, white sushi rice, and peas instead of joining in on the much anticipated pizza and ice cream celebration. Growing up, my mom spoiled me with home cooked gourmet lunches every day. Thus, began my love and appreciation for cooking. Thanks mom. 

My fondness for baking really grew while I was in college. It was my escape from my rigorous courseload, and experimenting with new twists on classic sweet treats made me quite popular amongst my study groups.

After graduating, I toured around Europe to explore the diverse local cuisines. I took courses on unique cooking techniques passed down through generations, and discovered the importance of food in every culture.
