About

Be Inspired to Explore started as a way to live my own life. A reminder to open my eyes with a sense of wonder, taste the world with all my senses, and engage in what life has to offer. That passion for exploration has led me to launch this blog, my travel company BITE Explorer, and the food & travel subscription service B.I.T.E. Box.

The wonder of travel

Hi! I’m a foodie and traveler who will drag you anywhere for a good bite to eat. A believer in bucket lists and good vibes. I don’t really know how to sit still so I run, cook, chase my two kiddos around, and constantly explore for the next experience.
What will you find on this blog?
Recipes inspired by the world around us including the places we’ve visited, people we’ve met, and the food we’ve tasted.
The inspiration for where to explore on your own. Places both near and far to get a taste of place.
Stories. Life is built on stories. The foods we eat, the places we tread, and the people we cross paths with all have stories to share. And I’m a sucker for a good story.
Food will be the thread – the breadcrumbs we follow on our journey. So, we hope you leave here inspired to explore and come back and share your finds with all of us!
Who are you?
I work with a lot of women similar to myself – women curious about the world and ready to explore it in their own unique way. We are all in different travel seasons so I hope you will find something here for whatever level of exploration you’re on.
If you are a DIYer, I hope you find inspiration and tips for your next adventure. If you prefer a little assistance, I am here to help you bring your trip to life. And if you are in a season where you aren’t heading far from home, I hope you find products and recipes to bring a little taste of the world into your humble abode. 
May you feed your curiosity and sense of exploration!
