The Story

Another blog for food, travel, and books... how original... The concept may not be all that special but I'm hoping to add my own flair to it. Honestly this is more for me than for anyone else, but I hope to use it to share my passions with others if they are interested.

But first let me introduce myself, my name is Allison and I work in tech. I love my job because I get to work with others, think critically, solve problems, and be a part of a crazy fast weird industry. Like so many of us though, sometimes work is just work and true joy, peace and happiness comes from spending times with loved ones and pursuing our hobbies (aka the blog idea was born).

So far there are three things I envision using this space for:

Recipes - I like to cook and bake. I like to peruse the internet and my growing collection of cookbooks to find new fun things to make. A few years back I began to write down these recipes and create my own book that I have continued to add to over time. I love breaking out that binder and adding something new. And now I want to transform that into a digital version, a la this space.

Books - Ever since I was little I have loved to read. Getting lost in the stories and creating these imaginary worlds in my head always has been such an awesome escape for me. I've only recently begun to expand my reading repertoire beyond the realm of fiction, but I tend to gravitate towards fantasy, adventure, biographies, and anything I can learn from. I probably wont post every book I read, but will limit it to ones I think are worthwhile.

Travel - One of the luxuries of my life that I have been very grateful for, is having been able to travel. Not a crazy amount, but enough where hopefully I'll have a few interesting things to share. 5 out of the 7 continents have been ticked, but many many countries and places are still out there I'd like to see. I'm hoping as much as anyone that this will be possible again soon.

Thats all for now, of course from time to time I may just post random ramblings from my brain but hopefully not enough to deter you from following along :)
