Welcome to Pondering Perth Girl – a place for remembering, reflecting and inspiring that centres around my passions of travel, food and history.

I have long considered starting a blog but never really felt like I had anything worth sharing, or at least, nothing that other people would find interesting. However as I dwell upon my life thus far, I realise that everyone has something to share, something to add, something to contribute – so why not just… start?!

Since I was a little girl I dreamt of seeing the world, and it didn’t take long for my love of travel to combine with a fascination of all things history and a mouthwatering appreciation of food!

This blog will focus on visits to amazing cities and sites; meals experienced all over the world as well as local delights; my travel related dreams and aspirations, and perhaps most unusually for a food/travel blog, on the interesting titbits of history that I unearth about various places, times and people.

Of course, whenever I am actually traveling on a trip, I will also use this blog as a means to keep you all up to date on where in the world I am, what I am eating, seeing, doing and learning – enjoy!

So thank you for joining me. I hope you will stay awhile and be inspired, learn something new, or perhaps just lose yourself in my ponderings for a minute or two!

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
