Exploring and writing go
hand-in-hand.

When Iā€™m out in the world, actively observing while I travel or traipse, things just happen. I chat with strangers. I notice odd objects. I step into surprise.

It happens in the kitchen, too ā€” minus the strangers. I pair new flavors, take shortcuts, brave unfamiliar cuisines.

Later, at my laptop, the adventures and realizations pour out.
