Will Travel for Food.

Hi, I’m Laera. While many eat just to survive, I live for food. I travel from big cities to small towns looking for great meals. I enjoy healthy, modern dishes, from Michelin-star restaurants to local cafés. When I travel, I stay mostly in boutique hotels, with the occasional 5-star splurge.
