Welcome!

Hello, and however you found yourself here, welcome to my blog! My name is Priya, and I’m a California transplant who has lived in New York City since 2012. As the name of this blog might suggest, I love traveling and discovering new foods – whether they are gourmet or not. I started this blog in May 2020 (yes, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic) after years of encouragement from my friends and family to keep track of all the places I’ve been lucky enough to visit and the foods I’ve tried. My dad gave me the extra push I needed by buying a domain name, so he’s the one who gets the credit for this blog’s name!

I’ve never been a blogger and this is the first time I’ve built a website, so it will be a learning process for me and I’m excited you’ve decided to join me on this journey! I have a huge backlog of pictures and memories from places I’ve traveled – for work and for fun – and hope to use this unexpected time at home to relive some of these wonderful experiences. Luckily, I’m an avid spreadsheet maker and note taker and have a million notes on my phone outlining trips I’ve taken, so I hope delving into the archives (of my mind and my phone) will help bring to surface the nuances of the places I’ve been and the things I’ve eaten.

Not only do I love to eat, but I love to cook and bake at home. I plan to share some of my tried and tested favorite recipes as well as new ones I’m discovering.

So, this blog will be a mix of posts on travel and food, as well as some recipes sprinkled in for a change of pace. I hope you enjoy!
