About Me

I'm half Indian and I was born in South Africa, I moved to England when I was four years old. 

I absolutely love to cook, bake and explore new places! I used to own a bookshelf with at least two shelves dedicated to all of my cookbooks and food magazines. 

A few years ago I was feeling a little sorry for myself.

I have always been an introvert with my head fully in the clouds.  I used to spend the majority of my free time watching travel and food documentries and reading books where the protagonist escaped to new places. I never really considered it an option for myself.

One day I woke up and decided I had enough of living my life through books. Why couldn't I do what all of my heroes did? So I carried on working at my rubbish low-earning waitressing job and saved up all of my tips. I put myself out there and made an effort to get to know people from all over the world before eventually joining the JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) programme. 

Now I live in Tokyo! Of course not every day is perfect but I love my life here and I finally feel like I'm taking the steps I need towards the life I want. (Though I will admit that I miss all my cookbooks!)

I hope that this blog will fulfil whatever need you require. Whether it's a five-minute break and escape from the daily grind of life, inspiration for your own travel plans or if like me you need that final push towards leading the life you want.
