Hello hello! After a long haiatus (wow, has it really been two years??) I'm going to give this whole blogging thing another go!

| Bendy Bean is Back! |
But first, where have I been all this time you ask? Well, everywhere! I've started a new job (in Europe!), visited 10 new countries, tried new and exotic cuisines, and was adopted into new "families" on 3 continents. I dove with 'sea gypsies' in Indonesia, camped on a deserted Thai island (waiting for the opportune moment to capture a jar of coral sperm), ate the world's best macaroons under the Eiffel Tower, motorcycled through an angry mob of opportunistic men in India with two other ladies on the back of my bike, hiked through the Swiss alps with two of the world's most influential evolutionary biologists (at an embarrassingly comparatively slow pace, considering they are well into their 80's), smuggled a suitcase full of avocados across not one but two international borders (worth it!), and (hilariously) accidentally documented nearly launching myself off a castle wall in Prague.

| Icy cobblestones + bad traction + overeager panorama taking... |
And all the while my yoga practice has been right there with me, my constant companion! In fact, in a way it is yoga that inspired me to resurrect my poor, neglected little blog, since in about a month I will be headed back to India for the third time. Before then, I plan to write a few posts that go into a little more detail on some of my recent adventures. But, in the mean time, here are a few highlights of quite possibly the most important component of any adventure... food! (And, of course, coffee).
 |
| Mochi in Tokyo (unfortunately, after having such delicious mochi, I can never eat mochi again) |
 |
| My favorite dosa in Mysore (I'm coming for you, dosa!) |
 |
| Thai Street Food: Part 1 (near Phuket) |
 |
| Thai Street Food: Part 2 (in Bangkok) |
 |
| Appropriately artistic and beautiful cappuccino art at the Rijks Museum in Amsterdam |
 |
| Jus Alpukat: Indonesian avocado milkshake (low cal, low fat!) |
 |
| *THE BEST* Fish tacos! From a taco truck literally within sight of the Mexican border (SoCal) |
 |
| Greek Yogurt x3, Crete (I couldn't get enough!) |
And finally...
 |
| Macaroon, Paris! Near a structure you may recognize? |
Well, that's it for now, but more to come soon!
PS- getting started on Instagram as well, so if you'd like to see photos of yoga, food, and travels, find me at
