Why I Started This …

Why start a blog (of all things) now?

I wanted a spot online where I could jot down my ideas about self-care, food, nature, and lifestyle. While I love Instagram and TikTok, a lot of what is wise to post on these apps is governed by trends, algorithms, and what your followers expect. It’s very tail-wags-the-dog if you want any eyeballs on your posts.

A blog gives me a chance to post longer format POV’s and more photos.

Over time I have evolved my focus towards food, local food sources (aka farming) and culinary travel.

So What’s Your Background?

I started life in the San Francisco Bay Area, and migrated to the East Coast nearly two decades ago. This background has given me a good understanding of coastal culture and what makes these very distinct populations tick.

I grew up on a small horse farm in California, as a result I’ve had a lifelong love of animals. I couldn’t imagine life without the furry and feathered babies that keep me company every day.

I majored in English in college and have a true book hoarding problem. I also love to write, which is another reason to start a blog - right?
