Welcome to platesnplaces 🍽️ ✈️ 🌱

Hello there friends! I’m new to both blogging and life in the UK, so this space is a little corner where I can share the journey as it unfolds. From discovering local spots and exploring new places, to learning how to grow plants, to experimenting in the kitchen with recipes old and new — this blog is where I’ll gather it all.

This blog was born out of a deep appreciation for simple pleasures since becoming an unexpected housewife. Through the challenges, I now find joy in a home-cooked meal, the thrill of tasting something entirely new in faraway places, the satisfaction of watching life grow from seed to harvest, and the stories that unfold along the way.

Here’s what you’ll find on platesnplaces:

• Food: Recipes, kitchen experiments, street food finds, and dishes that connect people across cultures.
• Plants: My adventures in gardening – successes, flops, and everything I’m learning while getting my hands dirty.
• Travel: From bustling cities to quaint corners of the world, I’ll share my favorites places, hidden gems, and the meals that made them memorable.
• New Experiences: Whether it’s trying a local delicacy, foraging in the wild, or learning a new way to cook, I’m here for all of it — and I’ll take you along for the ride.

This isn’t a guidebook or a how-to — it’s more like a travel journal with recipes in the margins and soil under the nails. I’m excited to see where this journey leads, and I hope you’ll stick around, share your experiences and maybe find a little inspiration here too.
