just a girl who loves to eat...a lot... 

Originally from Chicago, I recently left Seoul, Korea after living there for close to 3 years.  Currently residing in Brooklyn, New York-my new 'Big' settlement. Left the interior design industry in 2005; joined the life of late nights, adding calories by the minute, waking up to the smell of garlic in your nails, spending most days at food markets, 'breaking the bank' to eat at top restaurants, savouring life, traveling door to door, Seoul searching, and learning how to breathe...

I have an affinity to travel, to live in different cities, and to firsthand explore the life in these cities…my perpetual love affair with food, travel, and design are boundless!
