About Me
I'm Lloyd, and thank you for taking the time to come to my journal! Originally from Venezuela, I've had the benefit of having an incredibly rich and diverse upbringing which included going to school with kids from 50+ nationalities, traveling to over 40 countries, and had the opportunity to live in Venezuela, Mexico, Cincinnati and now Atlanta.
I'm a person with many contrasts: I'm a Chemical Engineer, a marketing executive by day whose had the opportunity to work on some of the biggest brands and most important categories of products people will ever have in their lives, yet after hours I overindulge in my love for food & cooking, fashion & beauty, and obviously, travel. Cooking, in particular, is my creative outlet and one in which I also take the time to experience other cultures. I've always said, every six months or so, I end up falling trying to cook many recipes from a single culture to stretch my thinking and imagination. Hopefully this blog and the recipes will be your opportunity to learn in the most pleasurable way possible - eating! As they say in Venezuela... Buen Provecho!
On a personal note, I'm lucky enough to have been married to a wonderful gentleman who originates from Kentucky who is my best friend and my rock. I can truly say I've been lucky in love, family (whether it's the family I was born into, married into, or the family I've made through my close friendships I've acquired throughout my life), and my work.
This blog chronicles our cooking and journey through life - I hope it can be a help and a respite from our busy lives! Coming soon will be our recommended travel itineraries from our journeys! Check back often for the latest and greatest, and of course, follow me on www.instagram.com/lloydlor
