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. Join me as I explore and share my food and travel experiences across the U.S. and beyond. I pay for all my own trips and meals, unless otherwise noted.

The First Miles
Today marked the beginning of something I’ve been dreaming about for a while: hitting the road and seeing where it leads me. Packing up the car felt both thrilling and strange—like closing one chapter and opening another.
From Forests to Friendships
The real highlight of the day wasn’t the road, though—it was reuniting with my childhood friend from middle school, Rusti. We hadn’t met for over ten years and by chance, we’ve reconnected every ten years.
The Highs & Lows of the Open Road
Every day feels like a gamble between magic and fatigue. Some mornings I wake up inspired, ready for adventure. Other nights, I’m restless—unsure where I’ll sleep, or if I’ll even feel safe enough to close my eyes.
