Food and Travel

I have always wanted to start a blog.  I thought it would be a good way to create a scrapbook of my life.  As real scrap-booking can take a long time to complete, why not write a journal; with pictures! There are many things in life that make me happy. My family for one, who is always there for me and encourages me to follow my dreams.  My friends, who are always there to brighten my day, or to lend a shoulder to cry on.  I am a very lucky girl! However, sometimes, I feel lost.  I am not sure what career to pursue, making some situations a little unsettling at times.  I do know two things, I love to travel and I love to cook and eat food.  So, while I figure out my career path, I am devoting my time to doing the things that make me happy! I have signed up for a summer full of adventure! First, I start out my summer visiting my fiance in the Cayman Islands for two weeks.  After just three short days back in America, my mom and I are off on a European adventure! We are traveling to Amsterdam, London, Paris, Brussels, Bruges the French Riveria, Cinque Terre, and wherever else the eurorail takes us! After what is hoped to be the most incredible journey through Europe with my mom, I am teaching English in Italy.  First stop, San Remo, Italy for a week long of Orientation.  Second stop, I won't find out until I get there!  Right now, I am in ultimate planning mode! I want to travel Europe, with culinary delights in mind.  I want to walk the streets of Julia Child and Barefoot Contessa.  I want to explore the fresh markets and visit the le fromagerie (cheese shops).  I want to have picnics in the parks, and under the eiffel tower.  I want to share my findings with the world!  This blog is about traveling the world through food. Whether it be a meal that I make at home, a fresh market that I visit in Paris, pictures and itineraries from previous travels, or just my thoughts about whatever is on my mind. Not knowing if I will have a computer while I am in Europe, I am bringing a travel journal to write about my pictures and adventures through food and travel.  I want to document every step of my adventure this summer!
