I had previously done a lot of traveling in 2017, but it wasn’t until earlier this year that I decided (on a whim) to create an outlet for myself where I would share my travels and eats. I debated on whether I wanted to retroactively blog about those past experiences and for a while, I decided not to…but rather start fresh and focus on what I had going on in the present. As I look into my iPhone’s camera roll, […]

Have you ever received a text from someone, mentally responded, then put your phone down and realized – shoot…I didn’t actually respond?

My co-worker/work-wife and I go out to eat for lunch during the week way more often than we should…but I never regret it.

About a week ago, I found myself doing the usual mid-day Instagram scroll-through. I came across a friend’s “story” and these circular, dipped pastries caught my attention. I immediately passed my phone over to my co-worker/work wife to have her take a look and we were instantly intrigued. Were these Hong Kong-style egg puffs? Were they cookies? What is it dipped in? Why do they look like baby-teethers? Within minutes, she had discovered that these were mochi donuts, made by MoDo […]

Good afternoon, curious onlookers! My name is Jamie, a twenty-something year-old living in the Bay Area, CA. In an attempt to branch out my interests, I have decided to set-up a platform (a…blog) in which I can share my personal experiences with some of the things I love doing the most: traveling, eating, and being a novice photographer. A few close friends of mine thought this would be a good idea for me and you know…I really dig it. I […]
