🍽️ From Travel to Table
For me, travel isn’t just about the places I visit—it’s also about the flavors I bring home. A trip becomes a memory every time I recreate a dish in my own kitchen. From sipping British-inspired butterbeer on a rainy day, to folding delicate layers into Greek spanakopita, to stirring a comforting Italian risotto as autumn settles in—food keeps the journey alive long after the suitcase is unpacked.

🧳 Where to Next?
Travel isn’t always about ticking off destinations—it’s about the memories we make, the flavors we bring home, and the stories that shape who we are. Some journeys live on long after the suitcase is unpacked. Others are still just daydreams on a page.
As I wrap up one chapter of travel—whether near or far—I’m always asking: Where to next?
