About Me
Hi! I'm Lisa. I'm a world traveler and foodie. I am also a writer, photographer, and Emmy award winning TV producer! :) I love Chicago, animals, and meeting new people from all over.
Why I Share Meals
Two of my favorite things...meeting new people and sharing yummy food!
Places I’ve Traveled
I quit my job in broadcast journalism in 2006 to travel around the world. I've been to nearly 60 countries SO far. :) I love meeting new people and sharing food and great conversations. I lived (cat sat!) and worked in Istanbul for 3 months. I lived and worked (as a barrista!) in Melbourne for 3 months. I cycled from Hanoi to Saigon.

What a great time with wonderful people and fabulous food! Lisa was warm and welcoming and made various tasty salads (the eggplant was my FAVORITE). The conversation flowed and everyone was relaxed and there to enjoy. This was my first meal sharing experience and it definitely will no be my last. Hope to cross paths with Lisa again soon!

Who knew you could get so full from salad? Lisa's first mealshare was a huge success. The salads were delicious and it was nice to see so many new faces. I hope Lisa has many more. Sorry for snapping!

This was my first meal share. The food was excellent but the company was better! Lisa was very friendly and made me feel at ease I was a little nervous because it was my first meal share ,but after five minutes I felt at home!

Lisa was a very fun and talkative guest! She has tons of experience with mealsharing and other crowdsourcing websites around the world, and told some interesting stories. She also shared a lot of fun tips with us. She was a very pleasant guest to have over. I hope we will meet again!

Truly an adventure. Meeting Lisa was like meeting my travel soulmate. Ok, I know it sounds deep but how often do you come across someone in your lifetime with so much in common. A writer, a traveler, a foodie, a backpacker, a couchsurfer, a blogger, a drop everything I'm outta here person is how all my friends described me. Haven't really come across someone who is really truly living their dream while living life. I get it. She was a fab person to meet. I now consider myself back on track to where I was heading on this fab journey through life. Thanks Lisa, for sharing your inspiration and your fab journeys through life. Chat soon.

What a great pleasure it was to have Lisa over for Valentines. It made may day when said she has been to Romania and even spoke some words. What a great guest, very outgoing and open to all kind of talks and well-travelled. There is no dull moment when you have Lisa over, I hope I will meet her again very soon.

I have known LL for several years, but this is the first meal share we have been to as guests together. As travelers we always have lots to talk about and I always enjoy her company. We both love travel and good food. She is welcome at my house anytime.
