Food plays such a central role in my life. I meal plan compulsively. I have weekly date nights out, where the goal is to discover new restaurants in our hometown. My partner and I host a cookbook club. I regularly follow restaurant openings and closing in my hometown, and am the go-to person for restaurant suggestions.

And most importantly, I choose travel destinations based on what the food and wine scene will be like. I research extensively the restaurant scene before we arrive to our destination to ensure that, not only is the food memorable, but so is the dining experience itself. Nothings beats an amazing meal in a beautiful location in my books!
