About me
Thanks for stopping by!
I’m Annelise, an Australian writer living in Oklahoma City, USA, with my American husband Jim. Traveling and learning about new cultures and foods has been a passion of mine my whole life, and although my travels are often pretty simple —average even— I love writing about my experiences.
Some of my favourite travel memories have been local adventures in my home city of Brisbane, Australia, others abroad. I believe traveling doesn’t have to be elaborate to be fun and memorable; and you’ll notice many of my posts detail some of the delicious regional eats I encounter along the way.
