Welcome!

This website is for sharing thoughts on life, travel, photography, wildlife, running, baking, cooking, and anything under the sun. My Instagram profile reads: Nature lover, runner, travel enthusiast, and occasional baker. This space is not just for me, it's for our family. And I can say for sure, all three of us love food and travel.

Recently, this website underwent many changes, hopefully for the better. While it has been a great learning and playground for me, some things might have broken in the process.
