Since I was young, I’ve always been fascinated with various cultures and delicious cuisines from all over the world. I’ve spent plenty of nights binge-watching Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown and wondering when I will be able to fully live out my foodie travel dreams. After graduating from college, I had two jobs and worked almost 50-60 hours a week. The burnout was real and I knew I needed to give myself a break. That break was (and still is) traveling! I started traveling consistently 2-3 years ago. My first big trip was to Indonesia with my family in 2017. It was our first time back in Indonesia in 12 years, so I was excited to plan out our itinerary. From then on, I fell in love with traveling and the food I encountered along the way. Fast forward to 2020, I have been blessed and lucky enough to travel to many places that seemed so out of reach for me when I was young. I still work full-time in the medical field (only one job this time!), but I manage to find time to get away and fulfill my wanderlust.
