Food used to be my main character, but these days, I’m more about the journey.
I started this platform with one thing in mind: food — chasing flavors, midnight bites in every corner. That’s how it all began: one plate at a time, one bite closer to a story. But as I’ve grown (and traveled more), my experiences have expanded far beyond just what’s on the plate.
Now, defoodladie is a space for the full story — the places, the people, the feelings that come with moving through the world. Food is still part of the picture, but I’ve learned that sometimes, the most nourishing parts of travel aren’t edible at all.
From Foodie to Free Spirit — A New Chapter Begins
So now, I’m traveling differently.
Slower. Softer. Deeper.
These days, I’m drawn to islands with heart, to places that feel a little undone, a little wild — where I can unplug, reconnect, and remember what it means to really be alive. This isn’t just about checking places off a list. This is about moving with intention, feeling rooted while roaming, and finding beauty and freedom in unfamiliar places.
Food still makes an appearance here and there — but now, it’s part of a bigger picture. One that includes long conversations with strangers, barefoot walks through hidden paths, and the kind of travel that heals more than it distracts.
If you’re looking for luxury, you may not find it here.
But if you’re looking for meaning, magic, and the freedom to rewrite your own map — then welcome. This is where it starts.

Let’s connect on TikTok and Instagram — I share the visual side of this journey there.
You don’t need a round-trip ticket to feel inspired. Sometimes, all it takes is a reminder that your story doesn’t have to wait.
