I’m a third-culture woman from Dubai who just so happens to be a freelance writer — travel, food & wellness are my specialties — and Hatha yoga teacher with an insatiable desire to explore the world we live in.

I moved to sunny California for college (Animal Sciences Pre-Veterinary, in case you were wondering) and loved every second of it. A job in animal welfare made me relocate to Washington, D.C. where I spent almost two years working to better the lives of farm & companion animals.

I have been blogging since 2007, but resumed travel blogging with Where’s Bel, a website focused on my travels as I explore being a woman of color traveling the world.
