About Me

Hi there! This blog started with the idea of sharing my knowledge on my two passions, cooking and travelling. Over the past 2 decades, I’ve picked up lots of tips and tricks that I would love to share with you!

So, if you:

  • want to be inspired to dish up something amazing for your family and friends
  • are a first time traveller to a new destination and need some tips
  • want to plan the perfect family vacation

Then, this blog is for you! 

Here is a bit about me:

I was born and grew up in the north of Italy and went to a culinary & tourism school as a young teen. We were taught in a professional kitchen on how to make the perfect pasta dough, the creamiest risotto, the clearest consommé and lots more. This is when my love for food ignited! Since then I’ve always enjoyed experimenting with recipes, cooking for my family and friends, as well as recreating some of the dishes I got to eat during my travels once I started seeing the world.

I pursued a travel career, and worked both as a travel agent and on online travel for a global travel company for over a decade. I moved and lived across 3 countries and travelled extensively across Europe and Asia, all up I’m at 29 countries, and can’t wait to add more to my list! My favourite thing to do while travelling.. EATING!

Travel for me has also evolved overtime, me and my husband did lots of low cost trips around Europe when we were younger, whether now with my young kids in tow we opt for more local adventures in our beautiful home state of Victoria in Australia, which I can’t wait to tell you more about.

Happy reading and thank you for coming on this Salty Sweet Journey with me!
