Flavor Boulevard

Dear Flavor Boulevard Readers,

It has been a LONG time since I’ve written for FB and I feel terrible! Although I suppose I am lucky just to share space here with the beautiful Mai and her equally gorgeous photography, and I can only hope that my posts contribute to the overall site. Long story short, the main reason why I have been away from the blog is because I was studying for my QEs (qualifying exams) and have been traveling in/around Seoul.

I am finally writing this short post to announce a new segment: Flavor Abroad: Boulevard-ing in Seoul. This announcement goes hand-in-hand with my upcoming move to Seoul, South Korea where I will be spending at least the next 10 months beginning in mid-August for my dissertation research. While I will hopefully explore outside of Seoul, this little space will explore the foods that I ate/have eaten while primarily traveling/living in Seoul! I was also in Seoul this summer for a little over a month, so I have quite a few posts already planned! I am also hoping that the “boulevard-ing” part of this title would also give me an opportunity to share some photographs and stories that are not 100% related to food but will perhaps reflect more generally on the theme of travel. I still will continue to post on restaurants in Berkeley and in my hometown of Connecticut/New York area since I am currently home on break but I will mostly devote my energy and writing on my adventures in Seoul and South Korea.

I am looking forward to beginning this new chapter in my life and while I miss Mai so much in Berkeley, I think that blogging across continents would bring us closer together.

See you all in South Korea!
