Hi, I’m Kristine! Welcome to Spoonful of Travel Joy blog. 

I was a number cruncher in my not-so-distant past turned visual storyteller. I have recently caught the joy of travelling and a true-blooded foodie. I have a growing fondness for travel as I didn’t enjoy taking trips when I was younger. I had trouble with motion sickness. Travelling by car, bus, boat, or plane was a challenge. 

When I caught the pixie dust of wanderlust in my mid-thirties, I started getting out of my comfort zone. Then, I realized I enjoyed travelling. The best part of these adventures is trying out delicious food. I believe a trip will never be complete without tasting local recipes. I try to recreate these recipes in my tiny kitchen in my free time.

I am amazed by the idea of exploring a new place, reading stories of discovery, and trying out new dishes. I always wanted to create a blog, and it has been on my bucket list for years. Creating Spoonful of Travel Joy is my second attempt at blogging after I could not fully commit to running a blog the first time. I was caught up with many changes in my personal and professional life, not to mention my crippling fear of the unknown.

The year 2020 made me realize how life is short to keep putting things on hold for better timing. I will be sharing my travel adventures, dream destinations, and anything about food in this blog.
