      <image:caption>Howdy there! My name is Erik Russell, and as simple as I can put it, I want to travel the world and eat as I go. I'm a food enthusiast with an insatiable appetite and a traveler daydreaming for the next adventure. Born and raised in Fairfield, California, a small town in the San Francisco Bay Area, I scuttled around the globe a bit in a military family, winding up in Columbus, Ohio, where I’ve resided since 2008. One constant in my life has been daydreaming about far off places, seeking out places to visit and experience the life there, not only for the food but also the histories and cultures behind it all. My dream is to one day have visited every continent, to have met and befriended many people of all walks, and to sample what the world has to offer as a whole. This blog is to share my experiences of exploring Columbus and the world beyond, eating my way through adventures, as well as document my homebrewed beers, a hobby I’ve picked up over the last couple years. Thanks for coming along!</image:caption>
