Merry Christmas from Louisiana!

AMERICAAAAAAA! Man, clearly you have to leave this country to really appreciate. I flew literally halfway across the world just to make it back to my grandparent’s house for Christmas in a tiny town in Louisiana and I could not be happier!

Food Friday: SoBou in New Orleans

Happy February! I’ve decided to write a new weekly post about my second favorite love (after travel): food.  In my opinion, food can be just as transporting as travel and is often times an integral part of learning about a destination.  Unlike some avid eaters, I like to eat...
