About

mango

i’m a 20-something living in a pseudo-big-city. i grew up on the west coast and i miss it. i love food, and will talk about it obsessively to anyone who will listen. i want to travel full-time and see the world. i dream of giving up everything i have to live on a shoestring. one of the happiest times in my life (so far) was when i lived on pennies in england with alex (the fiancé) and i’d be thrilled to do it all over again.

these days, i spend most of my time at work, tinkling with recipes, or taking on big projects like web design for friends, renovating our rick-astley-inspired apartment, and making fancy cakes. these challenges scare me and the people around me. it’s a quarter-life-crisis thing.

mango on an apple

is a collection of random thoughts, worthwhile recipes, and mini-destination guides. it was started so that i can digitally earmark every recipe i’ve come across that i’ve wanted to try. it was also started so i could share my travel photos and destination guides with friends & family. it’s a lot easier this way – people always ask me about my favourite spots, and i always end up drawing impromptu maps on the back of napkins and envelopes that i cannot replicate the next time i’m asked the same question.

please feel free to email/leave a comment to let me know how i’m doing!

another thing i love is filling out surveys. old habits die hard.
