Hello. As I’m writing this and packing for our flight to Southern Japan tonight, I’m thinking about the wonderful year Jeni and I had. We met some great people this year, started doing more professional photography and ultimately, were able to travel to 6 new countries. We’ve become culture freaks and it has been a goal of mine this year to really move away from just writing about food, but life, in general. Traveling as much as we could, we really did learn a lot not just about the world, but ourselves as people. I launched this new site with hopes in introducing my readers to people that had a story that needed to be heard and changing any misconceptions you may have had towards another culture. And I’ve tried my best to use photography to tell a story. I wanted to thank those that have followed me from my previous site and to those that have decided to spare a few minutes each week to hear me out. And to the many people that have walked up to me in public to say hello and let me know that they’ve been reading the site for X amount of time – you don’t know how meaningful that is to me. Were it not for my readers, I wouldn’t be going on my 7th year of writing Eat Drink & Be Merry. With that, here’s to another year of traveling, cultural education and eating/drinking/being merry. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. And hope you enjoy this mix!
