| Introduction | The travel and foodie bugs nipped me at a young age, as a 6-year old American living in Belgium. I aspire to travel to 100 countries by the age of 40 (current count, 46). When I travel, I love to share the experience with close friends and my family. The only caveat? They better prepare for my extensive foodie research for our destination. If not on the road, you can find me in Houston, Texas, where I most recently relocated back to following a 1.5 year stint in the ultimate sandbox: Doha, Qatar. Despite my geographical coordinates, I always root for my beloved Georgetown Hoyas. Hoya Saxa! |
