I’m Mary,

A storyteller at heart, a traveler by nature, and a hopeless romantic when it comes to food. 

You’ll find me collecting moments like souvenirs, wandering through streets with a book tucked under my arm, or attempting to recreate a dish I fell in love with halfway across the world.

I believe the best adventures start with curiosity—whether it’s discovering a new city, getting lost in a book, or throwing spices into a pan and hoping for the best. 

My life is a mix of flavors, stories, and spontaneous detours, and this blog is where I share it all—the meals that linger in my memory, the places that stole my heart, and the lessons learned along the way.

If you love food that tells a story, travel that feels real, books that take you places, and a good story, you’re in the right place. 

Let’s explore.
