Meet Me

Hello! My name is Jennifer Renee. In this lifestyle blog I post recipes, travel tips, and fun content where I try new things. I have lived a relatively normal life: middle class family with a mom, dad, and brother. I have a lot of life experiences, but one that I would like to share in my about me really gives insight into who I am: .

In my 20’s I was a avid traveler. Since I was young and single, I thought traveling the world would teach me invaluable lessons to shape my future. While I was correct on that; what I didn’t know, is that in 2018 after coming home from Oktoberfest in Germany, I was about to learn more about life, love, and loss than I ever could traveling.

In October 2018, after stomach pain and dozens of tests, we learned that my father had Stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer. The “C” word is something no family wants to hear, but adding “pancreatic” to that was like being stabbed in the stomach. Throughout 2019, my dad had numerous chemo and radiation treatments that ultimately did not work.

On May 5, 2020, my dad ended his journey with cancer and passed away peacefully at home. 2018-2020 has taught me and challenged me more than any traveling could have.

Life is short and I want to travel, eat good food, and try new exciting things. This blog is a way for me to document my journey and let you know what I learned along the way.
