About

I’m a Filipino/American graduate student, teacher, and a wannabe chef and photographer with not enough time on my hands to be blogging, but blog away I do! When I’m not scheming new ways to travel and scuba dive as “work” activities, I’m also researching, writing about, and getting involved with social justice and food sovereignty issues in California, the Philippines, and beyond. This blog is mostly a travelogue, cooking, and restaurant review site, but over time I’ll be writing more on food justice and social change in communities of color. Join me!
