About me

Although I am originally from and currently based in NYC, I've also lived in various cities -- Orizaba (Mexico), Jakarta, Tokyo, Jeddah, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen -- for a bit over four years.

Indeed, language study is one of my hobbies, and a pivotal reason for this is to decipher menus. Fluent Eater, that title fits me to a tee.

Since 2020, I have been authoring a quirky travel site called noworkandalltravel.wordpress.com, and since last year, a culinary travel site called findingfoodfluency.com; FindingFoodFluency video offshoot can be found here: www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4mIJ9aFl1v-Vm_HeCSVdA. Please let me know what you think!

I am also open to freelance and/or full-time opportunities, and can give travel lessons in Spanish, Indonesian, Chinese, and Japanese.

  • Hmm, although I've only been once, I'd have to say Shikoku (Japan) is something else. It's the home of yuzu, some dramatic seascapes, and one of the weirdest weeks in my life.

  • Oh, it was something else. I believe there are start-up food companies in Washington (the U.S. state) doing salmon jerky, too.

  • Wordpress; have been using it for 10+ years, although customer service is dicey.
