Who even is this girl?

Hey lovely people of earth, I'm Allie, 18 years of age, just a lady living in the Granite State (NH), exploring a nutrition major at the University of New Hampshire.

When graduating high school, I knew I was passionate about three things:travel, nutrition, and finding a way to ensure my happiness whatever my next step was. I looked to first see the world, or at least a small part culture unlike anything I had ever experienced before and challenge myself. With that in mind, I found a program and headed out to India, Thailand, and Nepal for the fall of 2017. It was by far the best decision of my life. I learned so much about myself, other people, countries, cultures, and what I love more than anything, food.

In my sophomore year of high school, I changed my eating habits and physical lifestyle. This struck an extreme passion in me, a passion for food, healthy living, and simple living, living with a purpose and a love for what you are doing. I love seeing how food can cause so many beneficial effects on the human body. I like exploring superfoods, and making up new recipes, and strange combinations and flavors with all the veggies in the land.

While food is fun, I also experienced how traveling teaches you new views and ways of life by only talking to and meeting new people of the area. By emerging yourself in new cultures, you see and understand the world in a new way. Things begin to make sense by simply making no sense at all. My time spent abroad caused me to realize so many life changing ideas that can truly make a difference in you. These ideas are simple, maybe too simple. We may not need all of those things we find necessary, while some things we think are irrelevant, are so necessary and rarely found. For example, self love.

Throughout my blog I will share thoughts, ideas, the occasional food blurb (can't help myself) and simple steps I believe can help you live your best life and love yourself while doing it. Life can be confusing, but trust me, these ideas are pretty simple. You may be thinking, why should I listen to this girl? I am asking myself the same thing. You don't have to! These ideas aren't really coming from me, but more my experiences. All I am asking is that you give my blog a read, and just think about these steps, they may just help you find that small path closer to the destination you are dreaming of . There is one goal here: be happy and enjoy this short guide to a rad life.
