Small Bag, Big Appetite is a place where I plan to document my travels, food I eat and cook, and whatever other related topics I feel so inclined to write about. Specifically, you can expect posts about the following:

• In the past few years I’ve practiced the art of light packing and have felt so much freer when traveling because of it, so you’ll see some posts about packing here.
• When I travel I prioritize learning about the local culture through food, so you can also expect to see a lot of content with that focus.
• I also aim to travel on a budget (usually out of necessity!) and experience a location as a local, so travel guides will include those sorts of tips, if you’re interested.
• When I’m at home in Brooklyn, NY I cook. A lot. Sometimes I make dishes up, sometimes I follow recipes, and sometimes I do a combination of the two. I try to shop locally (hello, farmers’ market) and eat seasonally when possible, and strive to eat only real foods with real ingredients. Every now and then I’ll chime in about this topic.

These are just my observations and I’m not an expert in any of it, but I hope you’ll take away from here tips and suggestions from my experience, or at the very least, some inspiration.
