Welcome to My Travel & Food Blog
Travel and food have always been more than just passions for me, they’re how I experience the world on a deeper level. Every journey tells a story, and every meal is a connection to a place, its people, and its traditions. Hi, I’m Jenn Rebecca. This blog is my space to bring my travel stories to life, offering inspiration, practical tips, and a taste of adventure for fellow travelers.
I first started blogging in 2012 with a video game blog and podcast. Because of this, I traveled to a lot of video game conferences and conventions multiple times a year. I think I enjoyed exploring the different cities and trying new restaurants more than attending the actual conferences. Even when I stopped covering gaming conventions, I continued to enjoy traveling to new places and started to keep travel journals, jotting down my thoughts and experiences. Then I became a travel advisor to pair my love of planning and researching new places and adventures. I kept traveling to explore more. Haunted places, National Parks, “tourist traps”, finding delicious foods. These are all things I search out when I travel.
Travel has always been my gateway to discovery. The discovery of new places, cultures, and even parts of myself. It’s a great way to get out of your comfort zone. I focus a lot on solo travel mostly because of a series of misadventures in Italy. Cancelled flights, wrong trains, language barriers…it was A LOT to deal with on my own, but I came out of it with some amazing memories and an urge to help others learn from my experiences.
Why also a focus on food? Besides my enjoyment of a good meal, food is one of the most immersive ways to experience a new place or culture. It tells a story of history, tradition, and the people who bring it to life. Every dish carries a sense of place, and remaking a dish at home allows you to revisit a place without leaving your home (because sometimes you just can’t take a vacation).
So what can you expect from this blog? Solo travel tips, destination guides, itineraries (both general and food-focused), recipes, and recommendations. You’ll also get to enjoy some of my travel stories.
This blog is more than just a collection of travel stories and food experiences, it’s an invitation to explore, savor, and connect. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler, a foodie in search of your next great meal, or someone dreaming of their first big adventure, I hope you’ll find inspiration here. I’d love to hear your thoughts, experiences, and favorite travel or food memories, so feel free to share in the comments or reach out on social media. Let’s build a community of adventurous, independent people who embrace the world one bite and journey at a time.
